Cool How sweet is this? Two Zs, 30 years apart, 1:18 scale.




I happened upon this 1972 240Z at a Kay-Bee Toy outlet for only $15! It's made by a company called Sun Star (never heard of them myself) and came in Silver, Black, Maroon, and Orange. The 350 is the AutoArt Z which has no equal, IMO. What a piece of work.

That's a great price the cheapest I have seen was $20 for the 240. Here's the website for sunstar models:

I have both of those in orange (lemans sunset) + a yellow 300ZxTT They all look great together and you can see many, many similarities in all three.

Dude! Is that a 240 or a 260? You HAVE TO bring THAT to the next meet. The CS Track is SOOO played out. Leave IT at home.



Seriously, that is very sweet.

Hi Droid,

Where can I get that 240z model? I'm overseas, know of any website/s? According to the picture, the quality of the 240z looks very detailed for that price!

I WANT I WANT!!!

Thanks for the compliments droid! It is a Canadian spec 240Z that I bought brand new in 1972 while I was in Seattle. She now has 208000 miles on the odometer without ever having the bottom end of the motor apart, (knock on wood!). I have had this car longer than the wife!

Unfortunately, I don't have either of the other 2 models anymore, but I did, (my 240 started as lime yellow, then was burgundy, red and finally I stripped it down to bare metal and turned it metallic green). Anyway, we painted my office today and just installed this new shelf.

Check these out, different company from SunStar, better detail and quality but not as good as Autoart, still 1:18 scale.
