NEW from American Muscle is this 1/18 Scale 1968 Pontiac GTO Hardtop!

Auto World is proud to replicate this 1/18 scale factory Verdoro Green 1968 Pontiac GTO as used by GM in their famous Woodward Avenue print ad.

#1128 - 1/18
1968 Pontiac GTO Hardtop "Class of 68" in Verdero Green
50th Anniversary

• Opening Doors & Hood

• Detailed Engine

• Steerable Front Wheels

• Accurate Interior and Chassis

• Heavyweight Die-Cast Metal

Pontiac marketing was some of the most clever in the business. By incorporating the well-known Detroit area street scene into this famous ad, they created a hidden message of two young men waiting for a drag race.

Prior to the official launch of their new 1968, Pontiac snuck a Verdoro Green GTO into the famous Royal Pontiac (a dealership that was well known by performance enthusiasts) to get it Bobcat performance tuned; Bobcat tuning was Royal’s standard package of performance upgrades. These upgrades were made ahead of a Key Magazine road test. It ran a consistent 12-second quarter mile.

After the test, Pontiac took the green GTO to the Chicago Auto Show. Decked in Redline tires and Ralleye II wheels, this appealed to Pontiac fans while nodding to the younger, performance-minded customer.

New 1/24 Muscle Cars Have Arrived From Auto World

I ounce had the chance to take a ride in a late '60's Chevelle at a car show. It was a fully restored bright blue beauty with new white leather inside. It drove like a dream and sounded like the MGM lion. I had a flashback to that car when I saw this model, and even more so when I held it in my hands. I only wish the one I rode in had been in Tuxedo black and red!

AW24006 - 1/24 Scale
1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS in Tuxedo Black

Auto World has done a great job recreating this 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS. The 1/24 scale replica comes to life with an opening hood, custom wheels, accurate badges and graphics, and detailed headlights and tail lights

Besides the Chevelle, we had a 1964 Pontiac GTO arrive in the last couple weeks. 1964 was the first production year for the GTO which was a souped up two door version on the Pontiac Tempest. This replica features the optional 389 Tri-power V8 engine. It has an opening hood, because otherwise why put the engine in there at all?

Even if you have never had the chance to get behind the wheel of one of these machines, you can still bring home the excitement! These are in stock and ready to roll out of 3000toys.com.
