Here's a 1:24 diecast model of a 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo by Motorsports Authentics that I picked up at a local thrift store which was going out of business. For two bills it was worth the "gamble" as it had no tires! I found some oversize 1:25 scale tires that fit the rims. Even though not perfect, certainly better than the car being on the ground. Put a small amount of detailing into the model to spuce it up. I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but the price, graphics, Monte Carlo and Jeff Gordon all had some appeal. There are no opening panels on this car. Thanks for looking... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

For the price ya can't go wrong. Nice to see you put some ingenuity into adding some proper rubber to save this one. |

Good find! And DuPont stuff is getting somewhat collectible, the company is not in good shape right now, and I have heard talk of them dumping the oval logo, so... |
