Corevette Engine DieCasts

I recently saw an ERTL set which included the '57- 283 CI Fuel Injected engine, the '67 - 427 CI Tri-carb and the '97 LS1 350 CI Fuel Injected engine in one set. Looked pretty awesome to me.
What would be a good price for this set? Thanks! :cheers:

Keep an eye on the auctions. These aren't too hard to find. I've seen them go for as little as $12 up to $30.

Thought about buying the engine set and then retrofitting the LS1 into the 1/12th scale solido '58 car.....

I like that idea!! :yesnod: The only thing I don't like about those Solidos is the engine compartment.

Re: Corevette Engine DieCasts (Illini Steve)

Yeah, I have one of those big solido's and the engine compartment is for @#$%. I've been waiting on a bigger and better deal on another one and then maybe I'll do the transplant. A little duct tape and some superglue and viola :D :D
