Diecast C4's

Does anyone know where to get 1/43 scale diecast C4's? I like the 1/43 scale and have been picking up diecast Corvettes for about 3 years now, but have only been able to find a 1993, and a couple cheap pre-91 that do not say what actual year they are. I have the 50 years of Corvette from Danburry, but they are glass, and are not of the best quality. Thanks.

Finding diecasts of C4's in any scale can be problematic.

Finding them of a coupe is darn near impossible.

I have a nice 93 Anni coupe by Autoart. There is a place in Swedan that has the 96s in GS and CE but want 245USD. The most I have paid for a 1/43 is 29.95 so I am not in a hurry to aquire those. I also found a 1983 and 86 but they want 70USD and 90USD for those 2 and again I am not in a big hurry there.

I found them on eBay. Bought 2 of them and customized em to look like mine (Z06 wheels also). I smashed one when I closed the hood on it so now I have 2 just in case.

Testor Corp has a metal model of the ZR1. I filed the halo third brake lite off and it looks like my '93 Torch red coupe!

I have a 92 coupe, and would love to find a 90. I've looked for years and have had no luck at all. I can only find a 90 ZR1.

I've seen very few die cast C4's (especially 84-90), but I did find this Ertl 1/43rd at a swap meet a few years ago - lucky for me it happened to be an '88. The guy had two of them and I'm still kicking myself for not buying both of them.
