Default C5 die-cast

Greetings,
I am new to the forum. I have owned a black '78 for 8 years and 2 weeks ago bought a 2000 triple black convert. I have an exact duplicate of my '78 that I put on a turntable when I show the car. I have looked for a black C5 convert die cast car, but as of yet, I have not found one. Does anyone know if such a model exists or where to locate one?

I think they're out there but you may have to settle for a 2003 but with no changes in the body style they look the same. Search eBay:
Corvette 1/18 ERTL or a combination. I believe I saw one not too long ago. I have a black 2000 coupe too but I'll have to settle for the 2003 diecast. There were a lot of Corvette diecast in 2003 because of the anniversary year.

I got it at Target last year. I dont know the name of the model company off hand, but it was on eof the big ones like Ertal or something like that.

I live in Champlin (next to Anoka), wich is a north west suburb of the twin cities.

Welcome to the Forum!

The folks over in the Die Casts & Collectibles section of the Forum most likely can better answer your questions on this. Good luck.
