Local dealer to me has a couple of those - they seem to do well with stocking the 1:18 models.
Just a liiiitle too pricey for me to declare an impulse buy unless it's a model I *really* want. I did splurge for the GT4 Clubsport model... but couldn't talk myself into any of the 911 ones.

A few of my gems in my die-cast collection...
Above: Hot Wheels Toy Fair 2016 Porsche 934 Turbo RSR. This piece is as good as Hot Wheels get and very rare at that. From what I know and have researched, only 300 of these were made and I own 2. They were never publicly sold and are not part of the Hot Wheels Red Line Club. Last few on eBay have sold for $600+. I paid about $100 for each of mine when they first went on eBay. They've since skyrocketed in value and are hard to come by on eBay.
Another favorite in my collection is the Magnus Walker Hot Wheels line. Specifically the framed Hot Wheels/Urban Outlaw T-Shirt that I got directly from Magnus himself on Instagram. He held a contest and only 12 people outside of the launch party won an exclusive T-shirt. I was lucky enough to win one of the 12! Surely enough, I had to frame it an make it a piece of wall art.
Lastly is another car I won. This one is from Twitter and it is the Team Falken GTLM Porsche 911 RSR from the IMSA WeatherTech Series. One of my personal favorite 911s as I've watched this car race in person at ViR over the years. Sadly they don't race the actual car anymore. Anyways...This is a Spark model in 1:43 scale and again, from my understanding, is a Falken promotional item, and never sold.
Check out my Instagram page @hwc911 for my entire collection which consists mostly of Porsche, but a little of everything else!

Very nice "Hot Wheels" collection on post#197 by AlexT.
Went to my dealer yesterday and got this model, as the real car will officially tour here in the Midwest region.
Drive safe,

Porsche Exoto Models 1:18
As I pare down my collection, I would rather sell to fellow rennlisters than on ebay. I've got 7 Exoto 935 and 934 models as shown, but I have not seen (or able to search) other Exotos on this thread. I know the Exotos are somewhat pricey and wonder whether there would be any interest on here for them, or if I should just go to ebay.
Thanks for any advice.

I've wanted a new Targa for ages, so the Hubster got me one recently:

It depends what you have and what you are asking. I have about 1800 model cars ranging from 1:64 to 1:10 scale, many 1:18 exoto. Mostly Porsche except for some F1 and 1 1:10 scale Ford GT40. Somehow I got on a mailing list for exoto years ago and picked up everything I could for between $85 and $150 each. I gave a bunch away to charity auctions and they raised big money. Some of these are worth thousands to the right buyers but don't plan to sell.
Here are some 928's for you.

Some more. Many are still in their original boxes. I will switch them out from time to time.

Solido 928s

In 1:18, Autoart makes (made?) an early 928. GTS makes a nice, uh, GTS, but it is sealed resin.
Lots in 1:64, 1:43, a few in 1:24 and other scales.
Great collection. What is the truck above the 934? Besides being a truck of course. Is it originally part of a sign? Cool piece.
The F1 cars in the first picture are great. Love the Chaparral 2 (Exoto?) as well.
Looks like you collect Cobalt 964s, can't imagine why! Here's a 1:43 you may not have, not a turbo though. NZGs are pretty uncommon in the U.S. Long since NLA I think.

Thanks for the link
The 1;18 are all exoto for the most part. Most of these are long since retired some are still available and you can find on Ebay cheaper than from exoto.
The Mack Truck is an aluminum sand casting I made for a customer years ago. He brought me a vintage cast iron truck from the 1920's or 30's and wanted me to make replicas of them. Unfortunately the cost to do them loose exceeded his budget along with having proper tooling made. The project never took off and this was the prototype.
I also have a bunch of odd stuff I made floating around like a hood ornament and side grills for a Tucker and a Gucci Cadillac. You can see the gucci hood ornament in the picture of the Chaparral exoto. I made these back when they made a bunch of designer cars from the factory.
Yes someone actually paid money for these.
