1970 Volvo GTZ 3000 Black in 1:43 scale
This is the 1970 Volvo GTZ 3000 Black in 1:43 scale by Avenue43.
The 1970 Volvo GTZ 3000 was a striking concept car that broke away from Volvo’s conservative image, showcasing a sleek, futuristic design by Italian coachbuilder Zagato. What set the GTZ 3000 apart was its dramatic, low-slung fastback body paired with Volvo’s rugged 3.0L straight-six engine—marrying Scandinavian engineering with Italian flair. Unlike most of its Volvo contemporaries, the GTZ was designed purely for style and performance, hinting at a sportier direction that the brand never fully pursued. Its rarity, bold aesthetics, and cross-cultural design collaboration make it a fascinating outlier in Volvo’s history and the broader 1970s automotive landscape.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
