Unsung, perhaps, due to the color combo. Outside is gorgeous, with Mosport Green Metallic. But despite being a higher tech image for TFM; featuring internal door hinges, opening boot hatch, operational headlights, telescopic hood prop and folding sunvisors, the interior color, Nassau Blue, and possibly the wheel covers since most favored the all-aluminum wheels and/or Rally Wheels and trim rings, may have distracted buyers. Be that as it may, the replica is period correct, and the model sits very well in the Corvette collection.

Tony, Great shots.  Love the wheels on this one.  They are not the boring ones like on most Vette's.

I always thought the detail on this model was outstanding even if the color combination was somewhat strange.
