Default C5 corvette models

who has a model of a C5 that matches the corvette they drive?

I have a torch red Z06 model that except for the wheels looks just like my corvette.

The one I drive is faster, louder & more fun!

I bought a 1/18 scale vert and dis-assembled it, then painted it DBGM. The wheels are wagon style, but other than that, it is my car..

I've got a 1:18 scale die-cast yellow vert, it's not an 03 but it still looks pretty close to the way mine did when I brought it home.

I've got three metal die cast models of my '04 Z16. They're AUTO ART and AMERICAN MUSCLE (1/18 scale) and a 1/64 scale numbered with my production #1961 given me by a thoughtful corvetteforum member.

And I've got a 1/18 scale die cast of a white/red pro stock '55 Chevrolet 210 sedan which is an (almost) exact match of a frame off '55 sedan I built over the coarse of seven years.

I have a Sebring Silver coupe, disassembled my 1/18 model and painted the interior to match the firethorn red interior. Have a 1/18 scale '57 that I painted to match the '56 I used to have and a torch red C4 that matches the '91 coupe I used to have.

I'd love to get one of mine, but unless someone can come up with a lot of graphics for the model, it isn't going to happen.
