1:18 GMP 1970 Judge “Tin Indian”

The "Tin Indian" name is synonymous with drag racing and its glory days. For most drag teams of the day, there were just enough people and time to get from race to race. But the Indian team consisted of three airplanes, two transporters, a travel RV, a complete machine shop and 14 workers! All Tin Indians were owned and expenses paid by none other than one Bill Knafel and Knafel Pontiac. Over the years there were a total of 42 Pontiac cars in the Tin Indian family. The Knafel teams won more Nation and World Championships than any other stock class team - GM, Ford and Mopar included. The 1970 GTO Judge dominated the tracks and won the AHRA Pro-Am Nationals at Rockingham, North Carolina and the AHRA National Championships at Bristol, Tennessee.

GMP has recreated even the famous Keystone wheels for this famous diecast model replica in 1:18 scale. This model has all the right features and will surely be the centerpiece of any Pontiac diecast model collection.  We'd recommend ordering yours today from your favorite diecast dealer as they will likely sell out and prices increase on the collector market.

Serialized Plate
Diecast Metal Body
Opening hood, doors and trunk
Poseable steering
Plumbed and wired engine
Poseable window visors
Working suspension
Limited Edition of only 2,000 worldwide
GMP Diecast Part No. G1801227 or 1227

About

We've been nuts about diecast cars for years and the only thing better than old models is new models! We're mainly into 1:18 scale but quickly finding interest in large 1:12 and 1:16 scale, as well as superbly detailed 1:43 diecast as well as 1:10 scale motorcycles! We don't have as much time as we'd like to update the blog, but over the years we've accumulated alot of good content here and hope you'll enjoy your stay and learn more about the diecast model car collecting hobby!
