Where to buy Porsche Model Cars?

Question

I am looking for 1:18 scale only, Porsche Model cars. i have looked at a bunch of places like autoarts online store, but a simple model is $95 which isnt that much, but i couldnt buy two or three like that. If you know anything about Porsche's im looking for a:
Martini 917 LongTail
Porsche 908
2.1Carrera RSR
996GT3 MkII
993 Turbo
2.7 Carrera RS
Early Pre-1973 911 or 901

I also am interested in other endurance racers like the bentley speed 8, DTM race cars, LeMans P1/P2 cars.

Thank you in advance for any advice, I have a small collection and would like to expand it, but remember 1:18 only!

Answer 1

Hobby town is sure to have some

Answer 2

I have about 30 model cars right now, mostly 1/18. I have a collection of Donahue cars (917/30, GT40s, Mustangs, Camaros, Lolas), then some other Porsches (930, 935, 956, 904, 910, GT3RS, 993GT2?), and then some others like a collection of 1/43 956 and 962.
All that to say that I have given up on the junky stuff and now I'm just focused on Exoto. They make the best stuff for the $100-$300 price range. The only exceptions being some GMP stuff for my Donahue collection or the Carousel stuff for the Indy cars. I would try www.exoto.com. eBay is another great source as well as a frew others mentioned. Decide why you want them - and if its for the long term, vs just a toy, wait for something good. Personally, I have way too much junk around the house and if I'm going to bring something else here that just collects dust, it better be something nice and not a pos.
I started a setion of my website for my models, but I haven't finished it yet. The plan is to get a history of each car, as it was raced, and maybe something on the drivers, etc.

Answer 3

You could buy them at Walmart, KBToys, Target, and K-Mart.
I have a 1:18 Porsche Cayman S model car and it looks like the real thing inside and out.
It costs anywhere from $25-60 in stores.

Answer 4

The two best resources I know of for diecasts and scale models are:

www.sportcraftcars.com
www.ewacars.com

However, some of the cars you mention are ones that I've never seen in 1:18 (and then some where I've not seen especially good ones)... but a few of them should be easy to track down.

Answer 5

ebay is the best place to look.
