Mike: I would like to get one of these , but I seam to always get out bid on e-bay as I don't get home until midnight and your auctions usually end while I'm at work. I bet I have bid on over 50 different diecast's you have offered and haven't won one yet. Thanks for the 69 wheels now if I could only get the ones off the 69 Yellow High Detail (German Issue) one I will put them on that.

Just bid really, really high before you go to work! :yesnod:

Re the yellow '69, I never cared for that one. They call it high-detail because it's got carpet, but the wheels are flat silver. I prefer chrome, chrome, and more chrome, so I like the regular yellow version. And, what do ya know, I've got one of those on Ebay too!

:cheers:

There was a great article in Vette magazine a few months back about the "real" Ko-Motion vette and Astoria Chas the 18 year old kid who owned the car. He was killed in Nam and the story goes on to tell how the car was raced in his memory and then stored until just recently. Its a nice piece to go along with the 1:18 version.

Lots of neat pics of the car in the new "Corvette 50 years" book by Randy Leffingwell. It is a neat car!!

They talked his mother into letting them race it in his memory and after setting a record in its class they gave it back to her and she kept it stored for 30 years. It just was rediscovered and restored.

I can not believe you could get twice as much as this car cost new 6 months ago. The power of E-Bay! :smash: That's why I don't win auctions! :yesnod:
