Yep .... I believe I have just about one of every kind of 1/64 GN or T Type ever released by ANYone! They released it in a blister card, as well as in a small box, in black and a variety of colors. They also did a chrome version and a gold one as well!

One of my favorite all time cars (I had an '86 T Type).

Here is an auction for a JL Diecast Kit form of the Buick Grand National

According to Tomart's, The Toy Time Company commissioned a Grand National in 1996, released with Real Wheels and with Crager SS mag wheels.

Not exactly correct......
Johnny Lightning DID do a T Type (though no GNX). They did a silver one in the Classic Gold series (403-01)

Come to think of it, I believe JL also did do a GNX as well, also in the Classic Gold series...... I think my Dad has one and I wasn't so lucky. I'll check with him later to see.

Checked today with my Dad, who says I was mistaken. JL did do a T Type, but not a GNX. It was a plain Grand National. Hope this helps.

I have a loose RC GN also. Passenger seat fell loose the moment I opened the blister. I figured it was fairly limited since everytime I see one on eBay it's pricey.

See ya,
