Hey Mojo, My uncle just bought the same '67 and I know how much you paid for that thing. All I can say is damn, I need a job at UPS. But it is a really nice model. :thumbs:

Hi, my name is Chuck and I'm a diecast junkie. <first step to recovery is to admit there is an addiction> :seeya

Ok I guess I will admit I have a problem it all started when my wife would not let me get a real vet. I had to buy 1:18 of all types.



At first it was vettes then it turned to anything muscle

Giving a grand total of 198 1:18 Scale Cars, 3 1:12 Scale, 584 1:64 scale and a total of 28 mixed scaled Corvettes. There are way more cars on the sides. She finally told me to buy my vette.
:)
Looks like a shrine to Budda! :jester

Nice 1/12 Mustang, Eldo and Jag.

It is... is my little shrine from the world. Good pickup on the 1:12. If you look closer you can see a bunch of vettes.

Maybe we can petition the Powers that Be to add a Corvette Diecast For Sale/Wanted Forum?
