The places that sell the very intricate models advertise in Vette Enthusiast and several other Corvette magazines.

They can actually custom make a model to match yours, colors, wheels, etc.

Get out your VISA though, because they are high dollar!

One such place is Custom Diecast Replicas (saw it advertised in Corvette Magazine). www.CustomDiecastReplicas.com is the web address (1-866-500-6255). There are several others too and they will do the cars up to match your car. But they are expensive.

Check out the following URL at Corvette Central, I've used them before. See 8th listing down on the page. Good luck.
Type in "die cast" in the lower left search criteria box, then hit the blue search button on the right top.

Listed on EBay

Has the largest selection of die cast models, motorbooks, and magazines around...and an illustrated web site with a search engine. We have purchased MANY die cast cars from EWA over the years, ...never a hitch.
