Try ebay. I'm pretty sure there were some convertible C4 kits., but you might have to buy several and do some parts swapping to get your exact car. Look for models from AMT, MPC and Monogram.
I used to be a huge modeling nerd back in the day.

I actually found and built a 92 vert model to match my real one. Don't remember the brand though.

I buy mine from eBay. Always keep a couple on-hand. Display them on the plenum at shows. Once closed the hood when the model was still on show. Now I have a couple spare parts.

Just search on the net for hobby stores around you. The best in my opinion are the Revell kits.

My last two were MPC kits.



I used wheels from a C5 Vette to upgrade the model to what I have.

The kits I bought off eBay, I made sure it said "new" and still wrapped up. It doesn't make it 100% sure that all the parts are there but haven't had a problem. Also, whoever I buy from has to have a decent feedback.
