Dubs model cars, now have a GN

[Whut]

Has anyone seen these? My fiance bought me one because she knows I like GN's. I opened it up and was upset at what I saw.

It was listed as an 87 GN but had the full paint job of an 83 GN with the big BUICK on the back fender. It had scale 20" rims on it, a playstation controller on the passenger seat, and hydraulics setups in the trunk. I couldnt beleive it.

and monte carlo exhaust... mine is all red.. i think of it as a kids toy.. why would it matter to a kid if there are mistakes?

You have a point. I was out a week or so ago and found an all black one and had to buy it to put up with the two-tone one. So I guess I am a sucker and have two of them. At least I have some GMP ones to equal everything out.

I bought a Johhny Lightning GN the other day....it was all ghettoed out and two tone yellow. I still dig it though

Are these the cars you guys are talking about?

Rage, your links don't work.

on some of those boxs for the GN's there was a mispring and they said "1987 Chevy Buick." They recalled these and 'fixed' the problem. I got one as a birthday present a while ago, and I was looking at it and I noticed that the 1987 Buick Grand National looked a little different from the rest of the box. I ran my finger nail over the box and noticed a little bump over 1987 Buick Grand National. Sure as ****, it is a sticker, I carefully pulled the sticker off and it revealed this:

Under a rock I guess. I dont usually collect 1:24 scale models so they are new to me. Now I have two of them along with my 84 T-type from GMP (that one is 1:18 scale).
