[68gt390]

Found this while surfing ebay this morning. Not sure who is caring this particular diecast but, it's pretty neat.

I've noticed they've (Greenlight) been doing all kinds of things with the GT/CS from the 1/18th scale right down to the 1/64th scale stock and customs. I'll have to email them and see what else they have planned. I know all the Meijer stores in my area that carried the Royal Maroon diecast are sold out and will not be getting anymore.

Hahahahaaaa! Perfect! There is a real CS police car in California we have talked about before. I forgot where it is, Modesto?
I think CalifGirl should have one, or at least be presented one when she retires.

I kinda like the one in Burlingame, CA better. At least it has the CS script on the rear quarters.

I found this on Ebay as well, but they have other colors that one can bid on. Green light is where I got my blue 07 GT/CS model.

You are right, I like it.

That police car is pretty cool. I wonder myself why they would have made it.

I'm assuming these were custom made (I could be wrong).

The seller has a number of cars done as different police agencies from different areas.

Maybe he happened to have the CS in white and that matched the decals he had.

Being from NY and close to Manhattan I was very tempted to pick it up

Rich;
You are correct in your assumption. After talking to Greenlight, I found out they did not produce this car. It was custom made by someone else. Still, a pretty neat idea.

I exchanged emails with the seller. He customized it himself. He does a lot of police cars.

He picked the GT/CS because of the color and it was on sale he said.

I was going to bid but didn't get back online on time. It already sold.

Here is his website.

I'll be back in Modesto in 2 weeks. I'll have to see if I can sneak a peak at the car while I'm there. I'm flying into San Francisco so a little side trip wouldn't be too bad. Will have to see what I can work out.
