#464029 Nostalgia. Never pictured my Torinos which were sent to me..

two dozen years ago by my much missed friend and scale18 Lolaman Don B, who passed away on Christmas 2011.
Three months before he visited us in Germany, and we attended the Porsche Museum together, Sinsheim Technik Museum, too, and had a trip to the Ferrari Classiche Center Eberlein.
Which he enjoyed a lot – as he said, "I never visited a Ferrari dealership before".
Memories.

IIRC the Torinos were the first Ertl musclecars with opening trunks.
The mold is marketed until now in Auto World form.

















Couldn't decide which version, so he sent me both.



Grabber Blue copy has much better fitting doors.











































If someone cares: the Clint Eastwood movie car lookalike 1972 Gran Torino will be out in 1/18 soon.
Simple sealed body by Ixo, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

I am glad I already have a nice 43 of it.
