The Dodge Stealth was introduced in 1991 to replace the Mitsubishi Starion based Chrysler Conquest. It was also sold in the US as the Mitsubishi 3000GT. The Dodge Stealth came in three versions ES, R/T, and R/T Turbo. The top tier model, R/T Turbo had a 3.0 liter V6 with twin turbos producing 300 HP and 307 lb-ft of torque and an AWD system. The ES and R/T versions did not have the turbos and were front wheel drive. The Stealth was sold from 1991 to 1996. Its competitors were the Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, and Toyota Supra.
The Auto World package identifies this as a Stealth R/T. It has a diecast metal body and chassis, rubber tires, and an opening hood. Chassis and interior detail look good for this relatively inexpensive model. Here are some photos using part of my train layout as a diorama.

Fine photographs of this very attractive car ! It has a bit of a Corvette or Camaro from certain years back then.

Plus 1 to Mike's comments.
I remember liking the Stealth when it was out and the look alike, Mitsubishi 3000GT. Great pics.

Great pictures and model Ed. When the Stealth and Mitsubishi 3000 GT came out, I thought they were beautifully designed cars. I favored the Mitsubishi because I never understood the placement of the rear spoiler on the Stealth.

The cars in the background are parked at a drive-in restaurant on my train layout. I usually use either the drive-in or Gulf gas station as background.
