My one and only Vette. Literally the exact car I bought probably 6-7 years after I bought this 1/24 die cast (it was fate I tell ya):



The rest of my die casts are all 1/18th and Firebird models. Pretty happy with my collection:



Would love to find a Nassau Blue 1/18 that I could customize as a copy of my car as it sits now.
