I just purchased a 1:18 diecast Pantera model. Its missing the mirrors. I seriously doubt the manufacturer supplies replacement parts. Anyone know any leads to a model (cars, only cars) club or something along those lines?

😎 since they left Italy without any mirrors installed, I think you could display it as-is and then just educate folks if they ask what happened to the mirrors.

Good thought. However it came with the aftermarket mirrors that attached to the quarter windows. Its interesting the aftermarket mods that were incorporated into the model e.g. camber bar, hood vents, mirrors. engine covers.
Tell your friends that mirrors were a dealer installed option, and that your previous owner chose not to have any installed.
Then you can look for 1:18 scale Mustang sport mirrors, or even better Cougar sport mirrors!

Rocky,
That would work except there is hole in the quarter window "glass" and residual glue where the mirror used to attach.
Dodge Colt!
😆
(Seriously though, that’s a very nice model!)
That's what I thought. Can you imagine, nobody makes a Dodge Colt model? I''ll just have to keep a lookout for something similar and modify them. Seems 1:18 scale is pretty popular. And I want to spend as little as possible.
Exactly what I was thinking a 1:18 Dodge Colt. Umm, big no there.
Maybe a 80s Mustang model?
Hmm...doesn't look quite right from pictures. Possibly though.
Well I'll be. Thanks so much.
