1/8 is tough. I think only hot wheels made one for 2005. I know in silver and white for sure, not sure on any other colors.

I think Hotwheels was the only one to make the C6 in many of colors; my daughter found this DSOM one for me a few years ago for my birthday

As far as I know, there were no C6 Grand Sport die cast models produced -- couple or convertible -- in any scale (1:43, 1:24, 1:18) -- by any manufacturer. The 'real' GS debuted in 2010 during tough economic times. During that period both the Franklin Mint and the Danbury Mint were getting out of the die cast car model business. And that's a pity because they both had a deep selection of cars and trucks.

I've been searching for Grand Sport die cast model(s) since 2013. I've had no luck.

I believe that "New Ray" one is the only GrandSport die-cast, Torch Red and Velocity Yellow are available. It is only 1:24 though.

I really wish Greenlight would have made one. I have just about all the Greenlight 1:24 C6 models, They are decent quality and a decent price.

Then Hot Wheels did / does make them in 1:64, They all say 2011 but it doesn't matter much. They have made just about every factory available color so far, and the few that they have not made yet they did make as a Z06 model.

I'm trying to find a white one, but the only one I've found is the Roanoke version.

It's 1/12 and extremely detailed.







I made my own license plate for it.

Thanks for the correction. I have mainly stuck to 1:24 and 1:64 for my corvette die-cast collection.

1:24 for other cars also, though I might sell those off.

As far as GrandSport a in hot wheels 1:64 , I think I have only seen and have the Roanoke Fire dept. one in white with red glass and the white with orange stripes ZR1 gulf livery. Then Autoworld has a white Z06 with real rubber tires and a Callaway C6 with silver stripes.










1:18 hot wheels C6

I could only find a red vert, so I got some paint:





And then things started to get out of hand. Had to bake the headlights and order new lenses (kidding)

Not a "garage/den queen".





Probably good for 60+ MPH. Scare the hell out of the neighborhood cats/dogs/kids.
