Default Looking for a 427 Die-cast Model

I figure this is a long shot, but I would like to find a '13 427 Die-cast Model. My preferences would be around 1:18th scale with the cup wheels. I have exhausted all the searches I am aware of including NCM. Has anyone ever seen one? If so, any ideas where I might be able to get my hands on one? Thanks in advance!

I've been looking too, seems to me it would be popular.

Okay. So the wife and I were sitting on the patio yesterday after I washed the Vette, and she looked in the garage at it and said "what's that part between the exhaust? the silver thing. It looks dirty or rusty or something". Okay. Great. Now I'm obsessed with doing something to hide it since I don't have a lift or any way of getting under it to polish it (I'm 72 years old). Does anyone make an exhaust enhancer or plate that fits the NPP? Links? Seems like every one I've seen just fits a regular C6.
Thanks.

2 questions. Where would be the best place to get side skirts that match the factory painted front splitter? Second, I've noticed the passenger side front sits lower than the driver side as can be seen the attached pics (somewhat). I'm going to check to see if it was maybe lowered on the factory bolts or something, but is there a good chance its the shock? If so, is it the exact same as the ones found on any of the Z06's that came with the MSRC? Where would be the best place to get a replacement (if needed) and what is the part number?

Thank you in advance!

My passengers side is lower, about 1/2". Actually it's more right now due to being jacked up for a flat tire.

I also recently purchased one. Bought from a forum member. #1470 in Night Race Blue w/engine built by Bryan Briones
