You could probably find one at a specialty hobby store or something.

They don't make them in that size. The hot wheels cars are rare but you can find them.

If I am wrong let me know. I have been searching for a couple months now and have found nothing unless it is a drag car and those are usually only die cast.

yeah sadly, I've only found a 89' Cavalier model kit

We're unloved.

yeah they do make a 95 Toyota cavalier but i am pretty sure its a 1/32 scale, and it is import only. it really doesn't make sense how a car thats been around for 20 +years has only one model kit for it.

The TRD one looks pretty good. I'd love to have it and do custom job in it, taking parts from other kits to use on it. Good luck for me finding a sunfire kit though...

An RC car would be cool... especially a gas powered one.... when your not playing with it and its sitting on the shelf... It might as well be a model....

I've never known of such a thing to ever exist. Closest I've got is a compressed t-shirt in the shape of my car.

Kind of tells an obvious tale about the J-body's impact... especially when you consider that there are like 4 different 1/24 scale models of Berettas. Plus all of the dealership 1/24 scale pre-assembled units, and die casts that are out there. J's got hosed, but I'm not bitchin. I've got a stack of Beretta model cars to flash my grin at.

Heh heh.

ok, here is the breakdown

1st gen there are some plastic kits, tough to find
toyota cavs 1/32 scale curbside, (no engine)
diecast prostock jegs cars

and there are some 1/25 scale prostock resin cavs out there
but at $35 a pop your not going to buy one to try and make it a street car

I've got a modifier on the shelf that needs some paint, and it would look like my '02 Z (shaved spoiler,side moldings and all!) Also have a green modifier with the bomex kit, and one of the Black Toyota Cav models.


I JUST found a GTO (ok, its the Holden) 1:10 RC car body...... so I'll have to pick that up next!
