I don't have anything for sale, but I'm working on a 1/8 '78 pace car right now. Although I've built several of them over the years, it's been almost 20 years since my last one. Sadly mine came with a cracked windshield so I'm on the hunt for a replacement.
I agree that a 1/8-scale C7 would be phenomenal, it's extremely unlikely that we'll ever see anything more than reissues in large scales. Due to the large scale with larger parts they were originally produced for kids, but they have huge potential for detailing and modification. Over the years I've modified many 1/8 kits into convertibles like the '65 Vette, '78 Vette, '87 IROC, and I even modified a '65 Vette into a '63 Grand Sport. The biggest drawback of course is the amount of display space they take up.
Good luck in your search!

True , very true. Maybe if a number of bug a model company to produce the C-7, we might get them to produce one. Never know.
Thanks for your comment.
still looking for 1/8 to buy at a fair $ amount

New Bright made a 1/8 C7 in a remote controlled car a year or two ago. There were two versions; one had blacked out windows but the other had clear windows and a full interior. That's as close as you'll likely get to seeing a C7 in large scale.

I'd love to see a C1 in 1/8. Prefer a 1958 to 60 BUT any C1 would be nice...
