Sorry guys... have been searching for the Pace Car for 7+ years... I found them THIS month!

No part of my collection is for sale. There were folks on here that wanted to see the collection together. I did not mean in any way to let on that these were for sale. I apologize.

The airbrushed 1:12 above is cool! $500 is too high... for my small airbrush job of the black widow I paid the guy an 18 pack of Budweiser!

Do I need to call ADT and get a rush install ordered?

Hunny... what is that scratching noise at the back door?

Oh no worries... it is just a bunch of snakes wanting to mate with the 1:12's!!

Well I have gotten back in contact with my painter and was wondering, if I were to continue production of these 1/12 models, how many would be interested in them? They are $400 each plus shipping just like before and the two available are CHROME and CATALYUNA SPLASH which is a color changing paint. Let me know what you guys think.

I think that would deem mine worth less money since they are numbered.

I think it would be a better idea to offer another color or theme instead.

What are your thoughts on this.

I only ask because my cert state they are 1 of 12 or 1 of 16.

Oh Jason, that is not a problem at all. I haulted production before getting to the end of the production line cycle. The original idea was to make 12 of the chrome and 12 of the Catalyuna but we never finished due to the German manufaturer. He made up the numbers and never corridated them with me. Do not worry, we will NOT make more than the cycle stated. I would not want that to happen to me let alone customers.

Cool... I appreciate that.

Would you entertain thoughts of doing any other colors or other ideas?

I know this is over the top, but I sure wish someone could make a GTS as well!

Hey maybe we need to contact some manufacturer, motivate them enough that gen 1/1,5/2 are still damn hot cars even though they are a few years old and have them produce a (limited or continuing) series :) There would need to be a big number of people interested to buy them though. Anyone with me?

I think they would have to produce the 1:12 GTS from scratch. Not as easy as just a different paint scheme. That might be cost prohibitive to manufacture, but I'd be in, depending on cost. The gen 1.5 might be a little easier for them to produce if they had the JRL/Anson mold. Who would manufacture it, I have no idea.

Sorry, Keith, no special paint schemes for me. Just the OEM colors.

I know GMP Diecast makes special models with great attention to detail but they are kinda pricy.. I'll start looking into it :) I mean.. if ViperArry can get a big brand like AutoArt to produce a comp coupe with special livery there's gotta be a way to get this one going :nana:

I'd buy one depending on what you call custom.
Is there any way to make one with a splitter, wing, and wheels like are on mine?

can you tell me where you found the sapphire blue RT/10?

I have never seen a diecast in that color, would love to have one.
:p
