    I have been looking for a yellow one. I have a red one I will be willing to trade for a yellow one if anyone wants too. It is not great, it was not assembled correctly at the factory.

    Mike is it in the blister pack or is it open?

    I have a yellow one for you.

    It is still in the package. I am looking for a yellow one in the package as well. I will try to take a picture of it this evening and send it to you.

    Awesome! One question, how did you rivet the chassis back on? Just a normal rivet gun or glue? I have a bunch of yellow hotwheels so Id like to give this a try!

    I did something very similar with a 1/18 71 GSX... Turned it into a 72 convertible to match my own...

    I started with the black GSX by ERTL like whats on the left here

    Had to reply again.. I found one red one at Target tonight.
    There was a little kid looking at the hot wheels.. maybe 6-7 yrs old.

    So I look over his head and scan the sides of the packages for yellow and '07' and I see one!
    I pick it out and its red!
    I put it in the cart and continue to look for others.
    The kid looks at me and says "What are you doing?"

    I tell him I have a real car like that one.
    he says "Is it out on the parking lot!?"

    I say no its home in the garage.

    He just replies in a smooth voice... "Coooool.." :laugh:

    He helped look though the rest, but there were no more GSX's...

    Brian I would never buy any rustangs!!! It's a mortal sin!!

    The other stuff I also buy, chevelles, gto's new challenger the wagons and the new vegas too.

    I'm glad to see i'm not the only ahole out there buying these things!!

    The one question I always get from my girl (when I grab 10 to 20 every visit ) is: "What are you going to do with all those? And why do you need multiples of the same one?

    Hahahaha. She'll never get it.lol.

    Anyone have an extra yellow GSX they'd like to trade for one of my extra white GSXs?

    I was in Walmart yesterday and found several red ones, and picked one up for myself. If anyone needs a red one (I think there were 2 or 3 others on the rack), I can go grab some of the others at the Walmart; just pay for shipping.

    Hey, you 68 and 69 guys will love this
    picked it up today It looks better in person than the picture below.

    [​IMG]

    Description

    Production Quantity: 4,500 units/car

    Opening Hoods
    Detailed Engines
    Real Rubber Tires
    Metal Body and Chassis
    Detailed Graphics and Custom License Plate
    Officially Licensed by General Motors




    really detailed. looks like the hood opens but i still have it in the package.

    it's 1:64th scale. (matchbox/hotwheels size) white interior, black wheel, note the small red GS logo in the grille and on the rear quarter there is one near the key hole in the trunk lid. with a satin/flat black roof too. The tires even have the polyglas look edges. Even has an identifiable Arizona looking rear license plate.

    it was however $3.79 I bought the 2 the Menards had. I'll sell someone the other one for the cost I paid plus shipping (guessing 2 dollars) If no one is interested, I'll open one and keep the other in original packaging.

    May trade for a red GSX as I haven't found that one yet.

    [​IMG]

    And yesterday when going through the grocery store (Publix) these were on the end of an isle staring at me! I had to buy them. Checked for more but didnt find any
    Both are 71 GSX's
    The police car says "To Serve And Collect" on the front fender

    And here's what I have so far - I check every time I'm in a toy department :Smarty:

    It is kind of funny that on a site where guys have many many thousands into their cars, some of which are very rare collectables, that a thread about $1 hot wheels has over 8,000 posts!

    Ah our hobbies!
