Matco Tools Vettes?
My friend is going to bring and show me 3 1/18 Matco Tools Limited Edition Vettes. I think it's a C3, a C4, and a C5. He said it's $110 for the whole set. I will have to see what they look like first!! I will take some pics!! :)
Anybody knows how much they are going for and how's the quality??

Re: Matco Tools Vettes? (C5BlkVette)
Okay, I got them sooner than I expected... This is the set of 3 Vettes:
1954 Corvette in Pennant Blue,
1963 Corvette in Sebring Silver,
2003 Corvette in Torch Red.
It also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity: Only 4,000 Production. It's in an Exclusive Matco Tools 50th Anniversary Corvette packaging. I will take some pics and post them later!!! Can't wait to open it!!! I bought all 3 for $110.

P.S. The set is made by ERTL and Racing Champions.

I believe Ertl already produced these cars and in the exact same colors for retail earlier this year. I assume they just slapped on one (or a few) MAC TOOL logos and are selling them as a LTD issue.
Will be interesting to see what they look like though.:cheers:

Here is a closeup pic of the 03 Torch Red Vette. The license plate says "MATCO TOOLS" on the back, and around the driver's lower quarter panel, there is a Matco stamp to show it's licensed by Matco Tools.

Re: Matco Tools Vettes? (7Vette)
Since I haven't opened the 1954 and 1963... I went to Scale18.com and found the pics... they should look like this?
1954 Corvette - Pennant Blue:
1963 Corvette Sting Ray - Sebring Silver:
2003 Corvette - Torch Red:
I know they are probably $20 on the streets... but this is an unique set, and I think I am gonna keep it :)

Does the '53 & '63 have special license plates and markings like the c5?
