HA HA! Success at last! After trying to bag this sucker twice, CX finally nailed it for me about a month ago. I've seen these go as high as $85! :scared The good news is that I got MINE for $46! :danbana

Special thanks goes out to CollectorX! :cheers :cheers :cheers

This thing has so many good angles to shoot from I could've been snappin' pics all night. This is, by far, the best Corvette body style ever! :mine So many curves wrapping so much muscle and brute force. :tongue

You said right - rare and beautiful. :tongue

Something tells me it will stay with me for a while, but if it and I ever have creative differences, you'll be the first to know. :giggle

Derek I can't believe this topic slid past my radar. After seeing this model in person in your collection, it made me go out and buy one for myself!

Like I said you know its good when you and I both buy one! And to think, we used to say that black hides the lines/curves ofthe model.

Cheers my friend! WTG! :cheers

I'm glad you got one of these beauties for yourself. :happy You're right - it must be really good if you and I BOTH get it and in the same color. :lol
