Please check out Kevin Pickell's "Huge List." It's about as comprehensive as they get (1:18 scale only):

Good Luck!

Also, the Action Zora Collection has every year from 53-93, in 1/32 diecast. They aren't too detailed, but they're decent. The Mints also have most generations in 1/24-5 , although i don't think too highly of their C4 diecast, just doesn't look right(IMO).

I blame it on my ISP. The URL works now, but nobody yet makes a steel 1:18 of a '70 to '72 convertible. The closest is the '69 tri-power roadster (which I own), but I do not have the tools or parts to convert it (particularly the side gills). :nonod:

UT makes a 99 FRC in red(not sure if its Torch red, but it should be close). The only 2000 vettes(worthy of buying, stay away from the HW/Mattel ones) are the UT versions. You can buy one of the UT 2000 vettes & just switch the chassis around to make the 99 a 2000.

UT also makes a 99 FRC in black. Don't know about the interior color, but nothing a can of paint can't solve.

The white Maisto 92 ZR1 is the closest you will come to a 95 in 1/18.

UT was bought out by Autoart, but you should have no prob finding the vettes. Try these places:

Hi Scott85,

Thanks for your search. I checked most of those sites previously but did so again. Sure enough the closest I can get is a 99 FRC (wheels are wrong) with a tan interior. Diecastmuscle.com has a Hotwheels 2000 FRC in dark red with black interior which matches my car. I'd get it even though the color is not quite right, but its out of stock (not surprisingly since that is the closest thing out there to this very common color combination).

Any other suggestions? :seeya

Whatever you do, do not buy the Hot Wheels hardtop! It is a POS and by far the worst C5 model out there. :U
UT made '99 hardtops in red, silver and black, and they are way better. You could buy one of them and a 2000 UT coupe or 'vert and switch the wheels.
:chevy
