hi! you can get many models from different locations. Ebay of course has zillions.
'diecastcentral' . com is pretty good, with a variety.

Exoto (sp?) has expensive but very accurate, hand built models. Almost all are 1:18, or 1:43. I've bought as 'cheap' as $20 US, to hmmm, hate to say how much my most expensive is...
there are cheap 1:43 on ebay. <$10, US.
Now that being said, I have YET to find my EXACT car. most have chrome rollbar, sidepipes, but with 'hoop' or bumperettes. If i find one with quickjacks, then the sidepipes are chrome. Or the roll bar is black. Or the wheels are different... you get the idea.

I have a very nice Kyosho that is pretty close to 'my car'.
I'll look for a couple of pics in my gallery, and also look for some links.

I have a couple of shelves of models- it's very addicting!!!!!

plus, i added a bookshelf for my Mustang models.

and, with a THIRD CAR arriving soon, must make room in garage for a third shelf. Did i say addictive??
I get lots of toys....

my 'most expensive' model. lives in the house, not the garage!!!
