I have models for most of the cars I have had (including 9 Corvettes) plus a lot of Corvette models that I would like to have.
In addition to the Corvettes, I have had '67 400, '68 400, two '69 400s, two '71 TA's (one white, one blue), '77 TA, '79 Forumula, '79 10th Anniversary TA. I only have a few models for the Firebirds though. It was really nice seeing a lot of those in your model collection.

The top row of 67-68 Birds in my case, if anyone is familiar, are Lane Exact Detail Replicas. Easily my favorite part of my collection. These things run anywhere from $100 to $200 depending on rarity, but are simply AMAZING in their detail. I'll zap some close ups if anyone wants to see how good they are. Sadly, they don't make any modern cars or Corvettes from the early to midyear era's.

As requested. Used the lone Vert because you can see the dash stuff better. Really nice work on these, down to individual brake lines on the underside, and you can even see the red battery cable going to the starter.
Far and beyond better than anything Yat Ming, Ertl, Welly, or Greenlight has to offer.

Funny thing is that I have over 1000 1:18 models and I make models for people as part of my living. Yet I don't have a single Corvette model in my collection and never made a replica of any of the five Vettes I have owned.
