Default Looking for C6R in 1:18

Went down to Atlantic City this weekend and saw a C6R that looked great but ahd no working doors/hood/trunk. Also saw a C5R that had many removable pieces and had "dirt finish" to make it look like it had been running in an ALMS race. I'd love to find that with the C6R. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i might be wrong, but im fairly certain that the only c6-r's are from auto art and come with no removable or opening parts.

The one with the dirty "raced" look is by Action. They made it because it had a Nascar driver. Autoart also makes one. Both have openable features. For some reason Autoart's C6R is non-openable. I have all three. They are all in individual display cases, so the operating or non-operating feature does not matter. No one, but me, can actually touch them.

Supposedly AutoArt moved to the "sealed" race cars to allow them to get them to the market more quickly. Too bad they didn't come with a price reduction for the reduction in detail.
