cant say I have seen one. best I can say is the duplicolor honda gold is a very close match. I built a model of my pewter trans am and it was almost dead on.
you could paint another color car and get the result you are looking for.

I think you have found the closest match in the FM silver C5 convertible. I have one in my collection.
Several years ago I also bought a 1/18th scale UT silver C5 convertible. It has no BSM, but had the '97-'99 wheels on it. I then bought a Mag Red UT C5 convertible with the 2000-2004 wheels and switched the wheels. It is also a pretty close match.
I do not think UT is still in business under that name. If I recall correctly, Auto Art took them over, but discontinued many of the models.
The UT cars were relatively inexpensive. You might be able to find one on ebay or someone here might be willing to part with one.
As others have suggested, if you find one in any color, you could always repaint it.
I no longer have the Mag Red UT or I would have sold it to you.

The only C5 done in pewter was the 98 Coupe by U.T. (which was bought out by Auto Art). A repaint would be the only way to duplicate one.
