Default 66 GTO scale model

Looking for a small scale model of a white 66GTO hardtop. Anyone know where I can look. This was my 3rd car when I got discharged from the Navy in 66. Something around $60.

I found a 1:18 scale 66 gto hardtop but not in white it's Palmetto green with an ivory cordova top and parchment interior. It's at the Hemmings motor news store.

There's a white one on eBay. Not associated with seller.

389 tri power 4 speed Hurst shifter. It was fast in it's day but a S2000 could hang with it in terms of 1/4 mile time and could out handle it by a mile. I drove it to a new job and on the first day I met my future wife. She always says the GOAT won her over. Time changes everything I guess.

Very nice Weight definately plays a factor in terms of speed of cars from the past versus cars of today but those old babies were torque mosters that's for sure.

Those old cars are lightweights by today's standards. The 66 GTO was around 3,500lbs.
