Thanks! I did that car last year, but I wanted to test out a new photo hosting site.

No, it's 1/18-scale diecast. It was originally a Welly '82 coupe. I scalped it and put in a rear deck from a Revell '69 roadster. I added the wheels, Hooker-style sidepipes, smoothed the front and rear bumper cover seams, and gave it an orange paint job.

Sweet. Can you build me one in 1:1 scale?

I wish they'd come out with a C6 orange like that instead of these rusty metallic colors.

Me too! I figure if Ford can put some of the old bright colors on the Mustangs, and Chrysler can put the old "hi-impact" colors on the fugly, German-tank styled shoeboxes they call Chargers, then Chevy should use the old colors on the Vettes. It seems like 4 out of 5 cars on the road today are either black or some shade of silver. How about some color!
