After a long absence, the Toyota 2000 GT will be welcomed back by AUTOart as four different 1967 and 1968 SCCA race models. Originally conceived by renowned auto designer Graf Goertz, a running prototype was built in 1963 with the help of Yamaha. Amazingly it was rejected by Datsun who wanted a fastback sports coupe. Well, they pitched it to the guys at Toyota and the rest is history! In 1968 Carroll Shelby financed a team in the SCCA C Production Class and enjoyed several wins and podium finishes with the car. The four models being produced will be AUTOart Diecast Model Nos. 86816 (1968 Toyota 2000 GT SCCA #33), 86815 (1968 #23), 86716 (1967 #2 24 Hours of Fuji Race), and 86715 (1967 #1 24 Hours of Fuji Race). Also coming soon will be 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer WRC Rally cars!

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!
