I took a pewter 1998 UT diecast and swapped the wagon-wheels with another newer UT model. I also added some decals, exhaust tips and license plate to match mine:
I even made a small scale version of my garage:

"Found my die cast at a Corvette Show" Would have more Corvette memorabilia if I wasn't so tight with my money. My wife is helping me get over that.

Wish I could find one like mine, but the graphics make that almost impossible. Even finding a 2003 electron blue coupe is tough.

I have a bunch I collected over the years searching. I mostly bought them when they were the latest thing going back in 04-05.
I have 1x Silver Z06 1:18 never out of original box.
I have 1x Silver Z06 1:18 open from the original box.
I have 2x Silver Z06 1:24
I also have:
I have 1x Gold 2003 1:18 50Th Anniversary Guldstrand 427 Z06 (and Dick Guldstrand signed it for me when I met him a few years ago )

I have 1x Yellow C5R 1:18 never out of original box
I have 1x Yellow C5R 1:24 (Ron Follows signed it for me when I met him at Leguna Seca in 2000.)
I also have the #3 C5R race Car tire from Ron Fellow's Car at the Leguna Seca race car that race !
It still has Leguna Seca dirt in the treads, and crayon on the side says "3 RACE".
He signed the inside of the tire for me too when I met him !!!
My wife made a table for me and etched Corvette Racing on the top
I keep all my models and signatures inside the tire for save keeping and safe viewing. Keeps my son out of there too.

I have over 100 diecast Corvette models and I have never found one in Medium Spiral Gray Metallic. I have a UT 2004 yellow convertible with black interior that I have been thinking about tearing down and repainting/customizing to look like my vert, however I would need to add custom wheels, chrome seat hoops and a Caravaggio spoiler as well as some customer interior trim paint. Not sure if I have the artistic skills to pull that off...
