Seen things like this on Ebay. Not sure if it is what you wanted though.

No I don't. I was just searching the web for players stuff and found it. I would love to find someone to produce one off diecast players cars as well. I am sure they would be way too expensive to produce but it would be great to have one.

There was a die cast made back in 86 or 87. Not sure if any exist any more. I have one and it is a model kit you have to put together.
Here is the kit assembled and painted:

I bought it years ago from out East. I'd have to see if I can dig up the place again. I bought a couple since they had them - one to build, one to not build.
Let me see what I can find in the archives ...

I just picked up a batch last week (as a matter of fact). I even finished the art work on the 86-87 door decals too - so people can now order decal kits for those early player's cars now too! Only the 1988 door decal remains - and a few other odd sponsors.
I even found an impossible decal to reproduce. Seems there was a decal on the exhaust systems which obviously burnt off. For the purest ... we'll have to create that one too!
Mark.
PS. regarding the die cast, I sent off an email to the place that had them. I'll see if it bounces or not. It's been 4 or 5 years I think.

The picture of the assembled one came from an eBay ad. The car sold for a stupid amount of money too. It was overseas too! Strange.

Stay tuned. I'm working on getting the decal packages "shrunk" to the 1/24th (or whatever) size so we could make our own model kits. Basically the decals will be the same as the ones that came with the race cars. You'd have to paint the car to match your scheme.

I've never seen diecast or even plastic 3rd gens let alone Players ones. I think the only model of one I've seen would have to be "Hasselhoffmobile"

copy, open new tab, hunt through bookmarks or type ebay.ca, find search box, paste.
or YOU could copy and paste something different than what you're currently copying and pasting and just maybe, somebody will give enough of a shit to click it.
