Looking for a die cast c5
Hi,
I'm looking for a model of my car - 2001 navy blue C5 to give to my husband as a christmas present. Anyone have one they'd be willing to part with.
TIA

I think there's actually a diecast section on this forum. You might want to try there. Good luck
Maybe this:

Best bet is to check ebay. You can find almost every variation of die-cast cars on there.

I recommend AutoArt
. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail is top notch.

As previously mentioned, check with the folks over in the
Die Casts & Collectibles section of the Forum. Some who hang out there can probably best help you on this. Good luck.

Another good resource. They may also know of a vendor that takes a model kit or a die cast car and can color match/modify it to look just like your own car.

The AutoArt ones are definitely top notch. A bit more pricey, but more things are actually functional on the car. On the coupes, the tops are removable, but with Maisto, they are fixed.

I do not think it is picky, or asking too much, to want one that matched the car you actually own and drive.
