what would it be??

I sold one out of my case, and I need to replace it. So, what should it be replaced with?? :cheers:

Exoto Grand Sport #50. Awsome car!!! I can't get over the detail. My best by far.

I agree for 1:18, if you want to spend the money. I have 2 exoto cars. grand sport #80 and an unmarked pewter colored convertible grand sport. These things are amazing. Also, Carousel1 has some very nice cars. Search on ebay for these, and you will get a better price than any store. Also, if you are not wanting to spend much, Autoart cars in 1:18 are the best detail, IMO.

An Exoto Grand Sport in any configuration is the best choice for corvettes by far. Carousel1 would be the best buy for the money, and AutoArt if you want a high quality C5-R.

I haven't made the leap to Exoto yet, but you can't go wrong with the Carousel 1s or the Auto Art C5-Rs.

I would have to agree with the gentlemen above. Exoto, in my opinion, is the best car you can buy, of course you pay for it also. They generally run between $149 to $169. If you research enough you can find them for cheaper. Also, Exoto has sales that bring all the 'Vettes down to $98. Watch for it. :cheers:

The 69 model would look awesome next to my 63 Edelbrock racer. :yesnod:

96LT4 · 08-20-2002, 07:32 PM

Of course, it's sold out. :cry

Illini Steve · 08-21-2002, 10:44 AM

Sportcraft has them in stock and on sale for $60: http://www.sportcraftcars.com/carousel.htm

I've bought from them in the past, they're good.

You can probably pick one up on EBay for closer to $50.

Wiseman2 · 08-21-2002, 12:35 PM

That's a real good price for the Edelbrock car. I bought mine a couple of years ago and have seen them now for upwards of $145. Get it while you can. They made 2500 of them. :D

Illini Steve · 08-21-2002, 01:29 PM

Sorry for the confusion. Sportcraft has the Carousel 1s, not the Ertl Edelbrock.

96LT4 · 08-21-2002, 01:55 PM

There is one on EBAY. Got an email with the link. Will bid on it tonight!! Wish me luck. :cheers:

CoolVette86 · 08-21-2002, 08:28 PM

IL Steve, those are nice! :eek: :cheers:

vettelvr61 · 08-21-2002, 10:45 PM

I agree with the Exoto diecast. I have 12 of these, and out of the 12, the Standox edition Monte Carlo Magic is my favorite. :yesnod:
