Message Board - Scale18 1/18 Scale Diecast Model Cars, Since 1997

I was never a big fan of the early Corvettes but was a fan of Briggs Cunningham so when I saw this model on sale I decided to add it to my collection.

It looks good on the shelf with the bulk of my other Corvettes - I have five more that are sitting in other spots in my collection. This model is by RAR and I have to say that even at $125.00 it is not a great value for the money. Which kind of mirrors the car itself. The car was a 'class winner' at Le Mans in 1960 but its only competition in the 5.0 GT class were the other Corvettes entered. It finished 8th overall behind four Ferrari 250 SWB cars that raced in the 3.0 GT class.

- #461775 I do believe the body shape is just a bit off........... by Frank Lemire on Monday Jun 10, 2024 at 06:55AM - The body of the car seems a bit more flat and angular than it should be. The windshield should have

#461771 I can see how it fits well with your collecting themes. by TCL on Sunday Jun 09, 2024 at 09:41AM - Interesting that four 250GT SWBs managed to beat it at Le Mans. They look more aerodynamic to me tha
- #461772 Interesting question.............. by Frank Lemire on Sunday Jun 09, 2024 at 02:39PM - I expect that the Ferraris were lighter and got better gas milage. I actually have three of the 2
