Die cast model

[bmcrawford]

I am trying to find a die cast replica of a 1971 Olds 442 W-30 2 dr. hardtop like I once owned. Blue with black stripes. Any ideas?

Bear with me here...
The guy who is helping me paint my car has a black 69 4-4-2 with silver hood stripes. I wanted to get him something for Christmas and I found a die cast black 69 on the internet, but it had white stripes and W-30 emblems. I took it to a local hobby shop (car models). The guy behind the counter put me in contact with a local model builder who repainted the stripes and took off the W-30 emblems for $20. He even detailed out the interior and under the hood!

Maybe you could do the same.

Here is a link to a related post from another site. Amazing what some skill, steady hands, and a magnifier can do.

All I can say is that if I had that much free time, my REAL cars would be finished...

I know Johnny Lightning has a 1/64 '71 W-30 blue with a white vinyl top and stripes. I have all the Lane cars, and pretty much every single Olds made in 1/18 scale except for the most recent releases. (they don't call me Olznut for nuthin')
