Default Latest Addition:my 1/18 Scale Diecast 2012 Centennial Edition ZR1 Corvette.

Here's the skinny,got it off ebay, it is a JADA,now Jada made ZR1'S one which I have -a Blue one in 1/18 which to me looks blingy/bling-ish. So Jada is not the best detail,they are JADA toys after all..However,This latest model boxed and known as A 2009! ZR1(since that's the first ZR1 They did,they were too lazy to take off the 2009,because Centennial Edition is 2012!.)
It's part of their "Collectors Club"or "CC". it is not the best,remember this is not AutoArt,but for the price looks decent and Dare I say Better than their prior ZR1's. I did notice the wheels seem to be wrong,and the fit and finish are not the best and perhaps another detail or so. There is "100" logo/centennial behind the doors on the top near roof.

and the Black stripes are there. The engine cover is black though not blue. I think it's stunning,And until AutoArt or Kyosho or someone makes this in 1/18 this will do for me.$20+s/h can get you one.:

I, too, have the Jada bule ZR1 and I just bought this black one last week. It looks a lot better than the blue one, even if it is boxed/titled wrong.
Where did you buy for $20? I paid more?

Got mine for $20 +10 S/h from Wholesalediecastmodels I believe,it was on Ebay.

Also Someone else offers about the same on the web. about 2 or 3 more in s/h than what I paid for.Can't recall their name though,out in California.

I am wondering If I should buy one more? and Black out the Headlights,And the Red lines and The taillights?

I know the wheels are incorrect,but Way better than the Blue And Red ZR1 THEY made.

I have both the red and blue ones, and would happily buy another, if they would make it in white. You are right, it isn't the best quality/most accurate model, but then again for the price, you can't go wrong.

Not a fan of the flat black, so I will skip this one.

Great looking diecast. Pretty good for the low price. Sounds like a deal.

I have the 2009 JSB one as well. It went with my 2009 JSB ZR1. Even had the dark Titainium interior. Not bad for the money.

Does anyone make a ZR1 die cast in crystal red? A friend is planning on buying a pre-owned ZR1 in crystal red in the future and is trying to find
a crystal red ZR1 die cast.
If he can't he wants me to paint a die cast that color.
