I like this model from Ertl. I added some Sharpie marker detailing to mine, and as a variation, mine has tinted glass compared to the clear glass on Ethan's.![]() ![]() |

Another nice car from ERTL - they did offer an interesting range of models from those early days of offering cars and vans and such.

Very nice. Another one that's new to me, and going on my radar. |

A nice one for sure. Just a warning for those with one, don't try to pop the glass a little higher so it fits in the t-tops better. Even if you're careful you might crack the windshield. Don't ask me how I know.

Decent model of a decent car from the time when the car was practically new. Two thumbs up. |

My wife will love this thing if and when she sees it on here. She became a 280ZX fan back in college and it hasn't worn off in the ensuing 30+ years. I've even found a couple of matchbox versions of the car, but if she saw this one, I'm certain she'd want one of them too. |
