I'd pay to see that.

BTW, while searching for Big Law Man's Maisto EB Z06 I ran across a Maisto 1:18 diecast model of a '96 GS. Do you have one? It looks pretty cool.

I don't! Is it a coupe? Any link to it?

Here is the stock information:

MAI-31856 1/18 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe $25.00

I'll search my bookmarks and find the site's URL. But I'm almost positive my local Target store has one on the shelf. I remember distinctly because I remarked to my wife that you had a GS.

I'll get back to you ASAP.

Looks like Maisto is issuing it as a coupe this time.

I have the older convertible version which I got some years back.


I hope this time they actually get the stripes and the interior right.
The version I have doesn't have the pinstripes at the edge of the big white stripe or the brushed aluminum wheel lips painted. I have read rumors of an original version which as these issues correct, though. Also, the interior they used before was from the 1992 ZR1 model they produced. The dash, and in particular the doors, are wrong for the GS.

Remember the Maisto stock number is 31856. They will call other target stores if you give them this number. Might save you some running around.

I went to three stores tonight but no joy. They sold the one that was in the Costa Mesa store the day before.

Good luck!

it looks like it has the pinstirp up until the front bumper..and the wheels are correct this time...

 

[Patrick]

I'm going to go check today. Cross your fingers!

Target had none. Only Vette they had was a mid-year.

 

[airwilf]

Wouldn't mind adding a GS to my collection, but are as hard to find as the real thing up here in the Great White North. Only 12 GS's were exported to Canada, probably the same amount of diecasts also ! lol !

Was it a '65 Nassau Blue Coupe? They have a lot of those.

Make sure you let me know if you get it on-line. Otherwise I will buy it if I see it and ship it to you.

Yep, it was the '65.

Two targets, no GS. Hmf.

Time to try online! But it's so hard to find the time........

I don't think the GS coupe is released just yet.. I have one on Pre-order and it has not been shipped yet

Both of the web sites I found indicate the model will be available "03/03". Probably a big customer like Target gets the first allocation which probably explains why my local store had one. It sure didn't sit on the shelf long.

:agree:
I'd love to find a REAL diecast.

But, I think I'll be forced to build a model. Which isn't so bad I guess. I anticipate having some time in the fall of 2007.:laughing:

Guys, Guys........there are a ton of coupes on ebay. go to search in ebay and type in corvette grand sport. It will pop up anywhere from 60 to 80 items for all grand sports. Look it over closely as these 1/18 coupes are all over the board in prices. Anywhere from 9.95 to 28.95 etc. There is a GS convertible also on there right now asking more than that . It is the old kind without the chrome lip on the wheels/no pinstripes/side markings. Still, it is rare. They did also have the correct convertible put out . Real hard to find.
