Default C-5 Die Cast

Would anyone know where to get C-5 Die Cast collector cars? I can find C-6 no problem. Never C-5's.

There is a die cast sub-forum on the main menu page. You can also check ERTL and AUTOART collectibles.

Check out the Franklin Mint or Danbury Mint. Both have quality model cars - not cheap but very .

Here is the link to the CF diecast forum:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/die-...llectibles-69/

A quick Google search should put in touch with a quite a few links!

On a side note, I have a 2003 Anniversary Edition 1:18 scale coupe (new in the box) that needs a good home!

Send me a PM if you are interested....

Just be sure its metal and not plastic. I just about pulled the trigger on an '02 silver z on the auction site from a co. that had diecast in its name or something like that. I assumed it was a metal car. Right before I did i looked a little closer and saw that it was plastic.

Good luck.

I even found a pewter C5 to match mine. Only trouble is that its a 99 and has wagon wheels. Anybody want to trade for thin spokes?
