Default 944 1/18 Diecast model

Does anyone know where I can buy a 944 NA 1/18 Diecast model?
Trying to improve my diecast collection which replicates my own car history.
Ebay has a few Autoart 944 Turbo models in white or red for a lot of money.

Would prefer a black or silver model.
Thanks!

AutoArt makes one in silver.

They also make the 924 CGT.

GT Spirit makes the 944 S2 Cabrio in red and what looks to be Pewter or Kalahari.

Spark just released a 924 CGTR in 1:18.

Minichamps made a 924 2.0 a while ago.

That is all I know of.

They are all expensive like what you saw. The Minichamps might be a little cheaper because it is old. Maisto, Bburago, Welly, and the other budget brands do not yet make a 924/44/68 in 1:18.

Much bigger selection in 1:24 scale.

I'm also looking for a 1:18 scale model for my brother's Christmas gift. Must be convertible so a 968 might work.

Sent him a Boxster last year. Package was stolen off his front porch. No security cameras but observant neighbor's reported the theft. Kids caught and model returned with a damaged box.

Anyway, looking for 1:18 scale model cabriolet Porsches.

A quarter-century later, the world's first production 1:18 scale model 968 unveils itself.



Supposed to be available next month. Probably pre-order soon. https://gts-models.com/en/

My brother snagged this toy somewhere while on a trip in Germany (works for VW, it may have even been from Porsche HQ).

I've got this matchbox my parents gave me on my desk. I think it must have been original, they gave it to me this year but it says copyright 1987 on the bottom.

Edit: Didn't see that you wanted an N/A. My parents told me they looked for one but couldn't find any.

Hmmm.... Who wants to try that paint job on their 951?

That's kind of like the thunder chicken on the Trans Am's. I'd like to see what it looked like full size...

Off to see if I can find one for myself now!

I've got a spare hood lying around and I'm good at making stencils and spray painting. I was actually going to do a porsche logo on it and hang it on my wall, maybe for s&g I'll throw it on the car someday. My car is exactly this color.

That would be some pretty nice garage art! Maybe when I finally get my fiberglass hood I'll have the steel one painted with a Porsche crest to hang on the wall.

​​​​​if you do this, I want to see pics!

I had to go out and buy myself a silver 951 1:24 scale. Thanks for that! Lol

I did find lots of colors and models on eBay. NA, 951, S, S2, cab. More out there than I thought!
