1:18 scale diecast metal replica car

[Jedi Knight]

I'm looking for useful help in locating a diecast (metal) scale replica of a 1969 Pontiac GTO, standard hardtop version. NOT the 'Judge' edition. I'd like to get no larger than 1:18 scale, due to cost. I do note have too much more information, other than exterior color of grey/silver. I do also know that it needs the door type that has NO door frame around the windows.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a reputable (online) seller? If there is more information needed, I can call my Dad.

Oh, 1 more thing, apparently the original color was a 2-tone blue, and my Dad had it repainted a greyish-silver. Original interior was blue. The grill was black with chrome highlights, NOT all chrome as some were.

Any useful help would be great. This is a Father's Day gift, so the sooner the better.

Thanks!

I thought this would be easy but i couldnt find the year. I have looked for about 1 hour now and all i can find are 65's and 70's plus. the price range i believe was from 30.00-130.00 USD.

Here are a few links to some good manufactures.

Not to sound "harsh" but looking for exact matches in diecast is usually pretty fruitless. If you want something *that* specific, the only option is to make it yourself. I mean, I want something as "simple" as a red Lambo Countach with a white interior---and that doesn't exist (plenty of red/black, white/white, or red/tan, but not red/white AFAIK). You've got a half-dozen specifics.

Here, this is every 1:18 1969 Pontiac car, period:

Can't help with other scales.
