I sprayed a thin layer of black primer on my interior last night. Im working on making my flares similar to the HPH flares on my car. I'll see if I can get some pics but the interior looked a lot better with a quick spray of black primer.

Anyone else find any this color yet?

Just got a 4 pack off ebay

I think I may have run the price up on you - sorry...

I would have bailed out if I knew it was you - ah the fun of eBay!!

no, these were 4/$12- buy it now.

Sweet deal _ I feel better!

Cheers!

Also found a blue one.

I bet you paid more than $3 for it!

I must be missing something from my childhood.

First.... OMG! Then second what color are the cars in the 4 pak?

orange

I bought one for $50 - signed by the designer... I must be missing something from my adulthood - like money for food......

Rick - I think he bought a lot of 4 individual cars - not really a four car blister pack

individual - sorry, not up on matchbox lingo.

You guys are sick puppies! Score on the signed copy!

Takes one to know one!

PS: Did the package arrive yet????

Not yet Waiting like an expectant father...

Not a Matchbox and probably going to cost around $150.00 but the long promised AutoArt 1:18 scale is finally happening. They now have it on their site in the "Coming Soon" page. In the past that usually means a couple of months before they are out.

Based on other AutoArt models I have these will be much better than the Revell one. The pictures are listed as pre-production photos. Supposedly there will be colour variants on a 914-6 and one or two GTs.

Working on it. The chrome interior is especially obnoxious with the targa removed.

Very cool! I'll be watching for the final release. I didn't see anything on their site about color variations or a GT version. Where did you get that information?

Find the link on their homepage called "Product List". Not sure what the one listed as Soft Top means.

77931 1/18 PORSCHE 914/6 (GREEN)
77932 1/18 PORSCHE 914/6 (ORANGE)
77933 1/18 PORSCHE 914/6 (RED)
77936 1/18 PORSCHE 914/6 W/SOFT TOP (COLOR TO BE ADVISED)
87175 1/18 PORSCHE 914/6 RALLY 1971 3RD POSITION WALDEGAARD/THORZELIUS #7 (RALLY OF MONTE CARLO)

here's a pic of the orange version
seen on a german fair

Finally broke down and picked up a Lesney one off of Ebay. Shipping was a little high but it was cheaper than paying for gas to drive around to all the Walmarts hoping to find one.

The Red Lesney 914 has a flat black interior, I picked up 5-7 of them with the intent of swaping out interiors and metal bases with some of the other current and future plastic-based 914 Matchbox.

If other areas are anything like mine you are already 100% out of luck finding a Lesney 914 in stores, they are out of production and other Lesneys have already hit the shelves; so find one while you can!

WOW That is GREAT news, I'm a fan of the 1:18 AutoArt models; particularly the Porsche 911's. They have improved build quality and detail significantly over the last decade, not the top-tier of diecast models but I'd say the best bang for the buck! Especially for those of us not willing to pay $300-$1000 for a diecast model with real leather upholstered seats! Though looking at close-up photos it looks like it could have more detail for $150? Would be interested to see what the engine and undercarriage look like...

That's odd, the Lesneys have finally hit Ohio and I picked up 2 last week. The Europas are everywhere and seem to be the only item on the peg in store after store.

Found QTY 3 Lesney Edition at Fred Meyer in Kirkland, WA. Left one to be fair. Also have found several dark green 914 around town. Kids each got one. Revell was a gift from PO of my real 72 914.Click to view attachment

DO you have this? Where can I buy one? I must have it. Perhaps its the Gin or Vodka talking........

Found another auction of a 4 pack of orange 914s on evilBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2011-Matchbox-VW-PORSC...3#ht_500wt_1156

Don't worry im not interested. I'm gonna try and find one in store.

For you slant nose fans:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Diecast-Porsche-Slant-...b8#ht_500wt_922

Whoever buys that, should buy my Roller & paint it Blue

T.C.

I can't seem to find that damn red Lesney anywhere, still trying though.

WOW, this is awsome!! HAVE to have one of these.

I dont know who local keeps buying up all the 914's but I go 2x a week and I havent found a 914 at the 4 local places in months!

Sigh...

oh no ... this one was on display at a german model car show and it is a pre-production prototype from AutoArt
unfortunately it's not for sale yet

I will need one too, as soon as they sell them

Gustl

There are NO matchboxes in the stores around here.
is anyone here bidding on the orange 4 pack (above link)
I want to bid, but not against friends.

brant

Even the one on their site is a pre-production model - and to my eyes it does look like a few details need to be worked out. Based on past models that show up on their web site, a "coming soon" preproduction one is usually 2 or 3 months out. And when they do come the variations of it follow closely behind.

When the speedster model came out, the silver was first and a month later the light ivory one came out. Same with their early 911 models.

So I thought I had given up on finding any more 914's around here, but I was in walmart and thought what the heck I'll check out the toy aisle and see what they have. I'll be danged they had an orange one, so like a mad man I started to scavenge thru the rest of em and found 4 so I bought em all.

I just got back from a trip to Mazatlan Mexico and scored big in one of the supermarkets down there, one light green, two dk. greens and three oranges, all with mexican packaging!

Went to WalMart here in Memphis and scored some 914's . 2 Matchbox - orange 914-6 , 1 - gold hot wheels Meyers Manx , 1 - hot Wheels AMC Gremlin that looks like a modified oval dirt car . Spoiler looks kinda bogus but I have owned several AMC's in the past . Plus 1 - Hot Wheels Citroen G6 Rally car in red . Got to love those European rally cars .

Does Matchbox make a yellow and a blue 914 for sale to the general public ?

Now all I have to do is get a full size 914 that is almost or totally rust free . Sales market here in Memphis really sucks for Porsches .


GTP

Yellow is only available as part of Exclusive editions 10 pack. Found my first orange one on Sat.

I finally scored an orange one at the super walmart in Morganton NC.

My fiancé found a red Lesney for me this past weekend. It's a good thing because I was having no luck finding any of my own. I also found two orange ones last week too.

I need one of the funny colored green ones. I don't know what color it's called. Sort of washed out looking. I can trade an orange one for it. Mark

Mark, I will trade you 2 of the green ones for an orange one. I can deliver to Hershey.


Shoe

p.s. Let me know which green, light, medium or dark. Hell, never mind, I will bring you one of each color.
