    Hope someone can help me out here. I am looking for a 1/18 diecast model of the 72-73 Dino 246 GT. Not sure if they were even made in that size and if they were who made them. Next would be the color. Although I am sure red is going to be the most popular color, I would love to find on in Silver with Black interior. Any suggestions??

    The only manufacturer that I know of that made the Dino 246 GT in 1/18 is Anson. This model has been out of production for quite some time now but it shouldn't be too difficult to find still. Your only other option is the Dino 246 GTS by Hotwheels. While this is not a great model, it is much better than the Anson version.

    The best 246 model available is made by Carlo Brianza.
    He makes handbuilt 246Gt and GTS models in 1/14 scale; they are the best available, fantastic quality and detail, but they come in at around $2500.
    Not many places stock them, I've only found 2, one in Tokyo and one in Canada.
