We need this. It's been too long and we have been teased with GTA's, Z28's but it is time surely for the beloved IROC. Any rumours? Anyone know anything?

 

I've seen 1:24 and 1:64 scale but not 1:18.

 

Hope you guys and gals get some love soon... took us GTA folks forever, it seemed like.

 

Ive never found one either. I have a 1:18 Black/Silver 82 Z28. Closest I have found other then the iroc's with the huge wheels etc. But iirc those are 1:24.

I have the SUNSTAR 1982 Z28, quality is ok... seen better, but the Greenlight GTA & TTA are fantastic IMHO...

I have been after them to make a Formula... With no luck either.

 

I was working with Peachstate GMP a few years ago and they were interested in doing this, but they mentioned the economy wasn't in our favor at that time. It wasn't long that Peachstate went under. They are now Acme. I also contacted ERTL and they had interest. I provided them both with all of the different cars they could produce from the same basic mold with minor changes needed to continue making more cars.

Update before I even posted....I just called Acme and Ertl and I'll update with any info I can as I get it.

 

Revell made a 1:16 scale 1987 IROC.

I just wish I can someday get something larger than the 1/25th scale 1992 Trans Am GTA....

 

A Revell model is not a diecast. I'll keep working these companies.

 

Honestly, if we just ping their email with requests, we could change their minds. If we all did it at the same time, it would be suspicious, but if we put it out there over the months, a few every week, we might get them done.

I want one just like Scott's car... Unfortunately even brand new, it would not look as good as the real thing

 

Oh how I want a cast, accurate, stock IROC-Z.....

 

Perseverance is the key. I know that I and several other owners barraged the diecast companies for years before Greenlight opened the door for us GTA'ers. Lucky for us, we had the 20th T/As to get us in that door to start with. Then it was like "you know, with a recast V8 engine, you all could open a whole new market." Thankfully they listened to us, and we were off to the races...

Now if we could just get them to do the '88 Notchback and the '91-'92 cars, we'd be set. But just hang in there...and keep after those companies non-stop.

 

Not sure if anyone has thought of this since we all know IROC is the International Race Of Champions, it may be a hurtle to overcome with them. Although it is now defunct, someone probably still owns the rights to the name, and whoever makes the die cast, in order to use the name they might need either "permission" or pay a royalty to use the name.

 

Nah, there have been others who've used it. The most recent was Hot Wheels last year and before that was Jada that made the pro street incorrect looking IROC-Zs.

 

I suppose there's always the actual cars lol.

I believe that is the 1/24 scale, you can get model kits and everything in that or 1/25 scale... They are looking for a Die cast 1:18 scale...

 

I've been wanting a hot wheels 91/92 T/A. Had no idea there were scalw models available. Now I have to find one. Thanks for the heads-up!

 

Great stuff. If somebody could compile a basic list of e-mail contacts at the larger die cast makers then like you guys say- let's pester them. It would be an insane feeling of accomplishment if we pull this off. Power of the people and all that!

 

Back from the dead!

Is there any updates on this? Id kill for a red iroc

We should round up a ton of us and try and do a group purchase... Mabey then one of the diecast companys will go for it

 

Im in!

 

Monogram also made a 1/8 86 IROC, in case you want a model that needs it's own garage.

 

Well, it's not an IROC, but here's an 89 GTA:









There's also a black with gold firebird and gray one, but they won't link correctly.
