I used to have a 1980 coupe (like pictured below) and would like to find a die cast

The closest you'll find in 1:18 scale is an '82 Collector Edition by AutoArt. With a little paint work and the wheels off of one of their '78s you could probably duplicate your car.

I'll take something close as long as the paint is semi-correct (80 to 82)... I could care less about the wheels. What is AutoArt? Do they have a web page?

ps: I have not been able to find a 2001 Black Coupe....had to settle for a 98. Finding black C5 coupes is hard.

They also made C5s under the UT brand name.

Check out the retailers in the Corvette Portal on the right hand side of the forum screen. Most places still carry the UTs. It is very easy to swap interiors and chassis, so you could get a black 97 and a 2000-01 and make a black 2001 coupe.
