Precision Miniatures 1956 Chevy in Turquoise/India Ivory
Hello, I am new to this site. I am looking for the 1/18 Scale Precision Miniatures 1956 Chevy in Twilight Turquoise/India Ivory. Would anyone be interested in selling this version? I have the other versions and would like to complete my collection. Some of the other versions are available on Ebay from time to time, but I have not seen this one, on any site, ever! I had one ordered and paid for, from a supplier, and after a 2 month + wait, I was told that it was not available!!! I am willing to pay top $$ for this, if it is in MINT, "as new" condition! My email is: joejeffery@execulink.com A reply at your earliest convenience would be appreciated, thank you!

They are great cars, Joe, and, you're right, not so easy to find

Hi, Joe! Welcome to the Diecast Zone! We're glad to have you aboard!...
... Although I wish I could tell you where to find the model you're looking for, I really have no idea. However, I'm kind of "in the same boat" with a number of other models that I've been trying to locate.
I will tell you, though, that in my experience, EVERYTHING, eventually shows up on eBay, though you may need to wait quite a long time to see it.
I've spent the last 8 months or so trying to locate a number of models that I lost from my original collection in a moving accident. Although a few of them have taken the entire 8 months to show up, most of them have made an appearance (some, I'm still waiting on).
A lot of sellers, though, state that they will make an effort to find models if you contact them to make a request... just review a few seller profiles.
You might also consider checking Amazon. They might not seem like a good source for diecast cars, but I've found quite a few out-of-production models on there!
Good luck and keep posting!
