Die-cast model GTA

I just picked up a die-cast 88 gta in red. It's the only one I've ever found. Does anyone else own one?

there is one other post on here but I believe they were talking about a 89. This is the only 88 in red I have come across. Details are pretty amazing , under hood, control arms .

That is a nice find! I see there is only one on eBay from England. I have a red 88' GTA and that would be cool to have a die cast of the car.

Roughly $85 USD and like a nearly $40 shipping fee. There are actually 2 in the UK about the same price.

wow!!!! Now I'm glad I asked. That's pretty impressive. Fyi. I paid $100 for mine. Crazy but like I said only one I've ever seen so to me it was worth it.

You don't want to know what I paid for the gold one and for the green one in the little display cases...

The 24k gold one was limited to 66 models and the green machine was limited to 20 models. I bought both of them "used" (never opened original packaging) and I can never tell anyone what I paid or I have to go to a psychiatric clinic...
