Even better than finding one is finding one in good shape. Yours looks in great condition. |

Thanks everyone! It feels kind of odd seeing it sitting on the Rubbermaid tub full of CDs and filled 48-count Tara cases that I use as a coffee table with my JL '57 Chevy hearses and a HW Infiniti G35 that I swapped gold lace wheels onto, let alone picking it up. I'm gonna wrap it up in gauze and put it in a case so I don't damage the decals. |

Congratulations on getting your grail. It's a great feeling. That's a very cool car, but I have to ask, why are there Toyota decals on a Skyline? |

Thanks again, from what I hear about the decals is that it was an error in Zylmex's design department. |

Makes sense. Any Skyline is a nice Skyline and yours is definitely cool. Having the Toyota on there almost makes it even cooler because you can now you can use it as a sort of auto trivia litmus test. |

I used to see smallish pictures of this model on various places online and thought it was a Toyota Crown, then one day I found out the truth and that it was sort of an "oops" moment for Zylmex. Even though it isn't a 'Yota, I still would like to add one to my collection one day - it is a neat little model, with a neat bit of trivia behind it.

Congrats on your find, but I think after so long a hunt, you should get a small clear acrylic case and have it out on display, then you'll get to enjoy looking at it a while. |

It's always great getting a diecast you've coveted for a long time. I know that I've had that feeling more times than I can count. |

It flew right past me at first...now I get it. This is like a Ford Camaro, or maybe a Chevy Mustang, right?

Cool conversation piece. Congrats on an interesting score. But then, you have a nose for locating interesting diecast. You could hire yourself out to go shopping with people as a guide. make money to buy more diecast...LOL! |

Congrats Chris, for finding your grail. There is way too much of diecast collecting that I just don't get. That is entirely my problem. I am sure people look at me and wonder why I need 2000 Mustangs.

I can't believe it took me this long to figure out what was wrong with it.
