1/18 '89 GTA/Turbo Pace car Update

MODS:I don't know where this belongs,So here it is

I was checking up on it and found this

http://www.greenlighttoys.com/89transam_gta

So far its out in October and only 1500 will be made in red and black and 3500 in the pace turbo indy version.Personally I think those run numbers should be reversed,But what do I know


I think they will be available at Target,But don't quote me on that.

The interesting thing is the date has been pushed back at least twice, both times they were in about the same point of development.

Re: 1/18 '89 GTA/Turbo Pace car Update

The front side marker light isn't correct. They have the little "frame" around it like the rear side marker uses. The front shouldn't have that.

Re: 1/18 '89 GTA/Turbo Pace car Update

The rear spoiler shouldn't have a flat edge on it either, right?

Re: 1/18 '89 GTA/Turbo Pace car Update

I think that is a basic mock up, I would certainly hope that the spoiler comes to a point rather than the blunt edge they show there...
