Anyone know where/how I can find a 1/18 model of my former 1977 red with white interior Vette?

That's the official GM Promo - Red with Red, but a neat thing to have.
Nothing else on E-Bay - I'm in the same boat...I usually have to buy '78 plastic models and sand off parts of the emblems and such.

There was a plastic '77 kit issued when the car was new, but it's been out of production for a long time. They can be fairly expensive on ePay.

Thanks much to all your comments. That promo model on ebay looked perfect. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

I have two 1/18th cast models of 78' Coupe. The manufacturer was UT Models. They came in Silver (fairly common), Red, and Yellow (Not too common). One or more are usually available on e-bay. Go on there and search under 1/18 78' corvette. You should be able to find one. Maybe even in red. Failing that, there is a 1/20th version of the 78' which is red w/ black interior. Not exactly what you wanted, but close.
