Default Diecast C5

Where can I get a 1:18 Diecast C5 convertible. I have looked at the easy places and have not found them. I need one for a birthday gift.

Thanks

There are many places on the internet where you can find these cars. One example is Speednation.com. Hope this helps.

Thank you all for the help. Found one at the Franklin Mint. It was only 1:24 but I guess that will have to do.
And I will never call my SILVER car GRAY again

Thanks again

How do you get a replica of your car even with aftermarket wheels? The previous owner had a model and I forgot how he got it. It had the screens, lowered, etc etc. He said he was keeping it as a memento(sp). I thought it was cool but didn't care since i was buying my first vette that day.
