2001 Torch Red Diecast question (also model year differences)
Hey all, I was looking for a 2001 Torch Red Coupe diecast model and haven't been able to find one. First, does anyone know where I would be able to get one? Secondly, I HAVE been able to find 2003 Red Coupes and was wondering if anyone knew of any body, interior, under-hood differences that might be seen in the diecast models? As a more general question, ARE there any differences (looks) between 2001 and 2003? Thanks!

No '01 coupes in red, but your best bet would be to get a UT '98 coupe and an AutoArt '00 with the correct chrome wheels and do a swap. Everything's interchangable, so it'd be a piece of cake. :chevy

Take a look here:

This one is an '03 and looks nearly identical to my '01. The only difference seems to be the license plate (has a 50th anniv. insignia). Can anyone else think of what might be different on this one? Even has the polished wheels mine has.

Suggestion on the best place to find these two models?
That one's okay if you want to settle for an Ertl. I think you'll be happier with the quality of the UT/AutoArts though. :cheers:

The UT has tan interior and the ertl has black if that makes a difference. I'd prefer the UT/autoart myself.
Oh by the way...[url] http://www.corvettecentral.com [\url] has the UT for $23.95 plus shipping.
