Default C6 Die cast model?

Hi,
Been a while.
I broke my C6 red coupe die cast model and I used it for showing. I thought it would be easy to get another one of 1:18 size.
But not so. Anyone know where I can get one?.

The Corvette Museum store may have one. You can also ask in the Memorabilia section on this forum.

You don't say it's a coupe or vert.
There are plenty of 1/24 scale models on the e-store, and a few 1/18 scale. The 1/18 scales models are very expensive compared to the 1/24 scale models.

I am looking for and not having any luck, a C6 coupe, red, 1:18 scale model that doesnt break my bank. The one I have that is broken was only $80. I checked the memorabilia with no luck. Any more links or clues would be greatly appreciated.

Ebay is the best place to find one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-Chevy-...itleDesc=0%7C0

Where did you purchase the one that you broke?

I got my 1/24th scale corvette on eBay. It is made by Greenlight. I actually had to buy 2 different cars and switch the frame and wheels to the other body
. Mine is a 2008 CRM Z51 Coupe and greenlight had made an 09 with original GM paint but my car came with the optioned Herta ZHZ wheels. Greenlight also made an 2009 white coupe with the wheels I needed so I bought both. This was Verrrrrry hard to find, a very rareToy.

A friend gave me a 2005 Franklin Mint 1/24 scale model in Magnetic Red. I'm amazed about the detail, accuracy, and heft (1.23#). Ultra low mileage and never seen rain either.

I looked all over for a white GS die cast. Never could find one. I was able to find a similar looking C6 ZR1 racing car in hot wheel size and a radio control car (not sure of the scale).
