    Sort of a deep bronze look..turned out great. For whoever gets it, I can give you a little if its history. I found it in a big bin of toy cars at The Richwood Flea Market, in Richwood, Kentucky this past summer. I gave fifty cents for it. My cat played " floor hockey" with it a little bit.
    It's a hoot to see a casting that had been banged around in a big wooden box with dozens of other toys given new life..

    I have a 1986 300Zx Turbo that I built at 19. It's a blast to drive. Totally different than everything on the road today. I encourage all of you to get out and drive a good example, or even buy one. You won't be let down. Japan's first v6, and they did a great job.

    Truly gorgeous looking now. You wouldn't think it was a Matchbox car with that paint finish and those stunning wheels. I would've loved to give that engine a little bit of customising, knowing how nowadays models lack the opening features of 80s era diecast.

    Rob that came out absolutely gorgeous. That candy turned out similar to a color Ford f series trucks used which is one of my favorite factory colors ever. The wheels you put on makes it look more like a real Z than those funky looking ones that came on it. Has to be one of my favorite builds that you have done 🍻

  • @MrCsKnotAnotherTie
