I love the license plate detail on both cars. I have to check the T-Type Regals I got earlier this summer for the same- I might need better glasses to appreciate this level of detail. This is a great casting I am so happy to see back with the improvements they've made. I'm glad they deep-sixed the mirrors from the old Racing Champions car. |

The mirrors on the originals were a great idea but the execution did not work! These look great! |

Fun fact: The last few years has seen speculation that General Motors will be bringing back the Grand National/GNX marque. Unlike other rumors, the fact that General Motors filed for trademarks makes you wonder if a new GN is coming. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2014/11/general-motors-continues-to-pursue-grand-national-gnx-trademarks/ http://www.chevyhardcore.com/news/gm-trademarks-gnx-grand-national-names-what-does-this-mean/ |

The technology is getting to the point where we may soon see 1/64 license plate frames being lettered. When we do, I'd like to see a frame that reads like the one on a friend's GN: "I brake for Corvettes." |

All GN's were black, if you wanted a turbo in any other color it would be a T-type. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

So far, someone has always beaten me to the Buick casting on the pegs. |

I have the RC version and looks extremely good. Agree the mirrors are just a bit to tall but glad it has the mirrors.My only problem is all the chrome chassis on everything. Edited by Z28HO, Nov 12 2017, 12:27 AM.

Both are definite beauties and will add them to my collection if I should see either of them on the pegs... Love the license plate "Quick V6... I sported the tag "Quick 82 on my 82 GT Mustang for several years and during the NMRA racing years 2000 to 2007... ![]() ![]() |
