No, its a Maisto... though I contemplated (and still am) buying the one I think your talking about... the keychain car... I saw a EB Z06 on keychain... though its not there anymore... but it was like $20 total for it, including shipping... which is a bit much for a keychain... this model was only $9, plus 7 shipping... not bad I think!

It would be easy to drill a super small hole in the lower rear 1/4 behind the wheel to thread the keychain 1st link thru. I'll PM you a pic 2morrow of the keychain I bought and you'll see how easy it would be to duplicate for yourself.

There is no Lemans Blue C5... but hes got a red vert and a black vert C5 and a bunch more other Generation Vettes.... But its ever changing... Im sure he has your car... just drop him an e-mail... the guy was prompt on delivery and the car came well packaged... (although not in original box)... But its a good quality model for 10 Bux
Here are his Vettes for Sale... I might buy a few... so better get on them quick!

Good looking model and nice that it perfectly matches your car. I've been looking for one that matches mine, but so far no luck - only have seen a pewter hardtop.
