Just ordered a Hellcat!

[FABMAN]

Well a 1:18 scale Hellcat in Mango orange from Autoart! It’s a preorder so not sure when it’s coming but still excited none the less. It will look great next to my general lee.

Unlike the resin ones from GT Spirit, these are not sealed. Hood, trunk and doors all open! Comes with carpeted interior and trunk. Fully detailed undercarriage and motor as well.

Picture for reference:

hahah, definitely got me on this one!!

I thought there was no carpet in the trunk of the Hellcat... or is that only the Demon?? Only heard... I really don't know much about these cars, pretty cool though, how much if you don't mind me asking? And if you do mind, well... tell me anyways! LOL

[Ghost Rider]

and LOL on the snow falling on the webpage. Kept thinking my mouse was moving out of the corner of my eye

[mavrrrick]

Autoart does an amazing job. I have one of my GT/CS.

The Hellcats have carpet in the trunk but I believe that you are right about it getting deleted in the Demon (and I think the red eye too).

Not sure about the price yet as it’s a preorder to secure allocation. I would bet it will be around $250-$280 range as many of their other models come in around there. That said, their level of detail is pretty nice. I am still waiting on my two 93 GMP Cobras (1 red and 1 teal) and a white 65 Gt350 that I preordered last Boxing Day! Hoping to get them this month.

I believe the Hellcat should arrive by February as they have been slated for production since mid 2019.

Detail is amazing in them!!

Just wondering if they still make a 1/18 diecast for an 04 GT? If so, how much is the current $ value?

seems unlikely...most are only in production for a couple years...then people want ridiculous money for them!

@Mav

Here's one for you! Forgot I had this in my collection, it's from Shelby Collectibles

That there is friggin’ sweet.

[WidowrRacing]

Just when I thought I didn’t want/need any more diecast cars you post those. STOP IT!

It’s like showing a smaller blower pulley to a boost junkie.

So one of the 1993 GMP Cobras I preordered last Christmas arrived yesterday. So after a year of waiting I made my way to pick it up at the hobby shop and also ended up coming home with it and the lightening blue Autoart Shelby GT350R pictured above.

All I can say is wow! The detail on these modes is unreal, I will post some pictures very soon.

[Scrape]

Nice. Where did you go to get it?

[FABMAN]

Toronto Motorsports in Scarborough

Here are the pictures as promised.

First the 93 Cobra by GMP:

Very detailed gauges

Very detailed undercarriage

Now for some GT350R pictures from AUTOart. This model is really interesting as it is actually not a true die cast. AUTOart has pioneered the use of composite body panels that are bonded to a diecast space frame/unibody (much like the actual production cars). Detail of the panels is very impressive.

That mean front end with actual mesh grills and proper grill emblem!

Real mesh grills on front end and the hood vent.

Realistic wheels with cross drilled rotors (that move with the wheels), detailed brembo calipers (that stay in place like the real car), wheel studs, actual centre caps (yes the centre caps can come off)
https://i.imgur.com/IYJKiuG.jpg


Nicely detailed engine bay complete with prop rod and open element filter like the actual cars:

Note the detailed emblems/labels on the strut bar and around the engine bay caps

Carpeted interior with fabric seats and rubber mats and detailed door sills!

Carpeted trunk (which I am not sure if R models come with carpet but its cool on a model):
