This is a repaint/limited edition release of the Riverside Red diecast model issued 5/1990. The 1963 Corvette Stingray split-window coupe subject was also released in two fiberglass iterations by FM with all new and updated technology. This is the older variety so don't expect to see as much detail as the plastic models. In Ermine White with red interior, it is very striking and a pleasing model overall. There are only three modifications that I can find on this model when comparing it to the first diecast. The engine has received the silver, ribbed valve covers, marked as 340 for the 327, 340 horse power mill, the limited edition plate, affixed to the under side of the passenger's floorboard and the aforementioned color change. For the 'must have' Corvette collector but alas, I can only muster 2.5 stars for the effort.
The issue price is $105.00.
