Gamda Koor 8104 Ford GT

The Gamda Koor 8104 Ford GT is a unique scale model that originated in Israel in the 1960s and early 1970s. Gamda, later known as Gamda-Koor, produced a series of 1:43 scale diecast metal models during that period. These models were intended as affordable yet detailed alternatives to brands like Corgi and Dinky, which were difficult or expensive to obtain in Israel at the time.

The Ford GT from the Gamda series is one of the sports cars in the collection and is recognizable by its sleek lines and characteristic racing look. These models were die-cast from metal and often finished with simple yet sturdy plastic parts, including wheels and windows. Their charm lies in their authentic simplicity and historical character: they reflect both the automotive history of the 1960s and the unique Israeli toy industry of that time.

The models were later also sold under license in the United States through Cragstan and were popular with collectors. Today, Gamda Koor models are sought-after collector's items, especially because production runs were relatively limited and many were heavily played with.

This particular example, the 8104 Ford GT, is in lightly played condition: this means it remains a beautiful collector's item, with traces of use that underscore its original charm and authenticity. For collectors of rare Israeli diecast toys, this is a valuable addition with a fascinating background.
