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.
