Got a great deal on the above at $20.  It is missing a few parts though. Anyone in the club have some extra parts?  I am looking for the drivers side mirror and the passenger door handle for the above model?  Would anyone know where I might find these?  I hate to buy another car just for the two parts.

...sorry, if you needed 1/18 scale, I could help.  OTOH, don't the "blues"  sell for much more, well over $100?     Seems to me that if had to buy a "green"  for parts ($20-$25 ) you'd still be ahead of the game, no?  🤔 🤔

@chris thanks Kris I appreciate it. I have thought about that but I was not wanting to have to then get rid of a car that was then parts.

Sometimes brother, that's the ONLY way.....          - Most of the time now, I just keep my junkers; I'm always working on a project anyway, so....

At any rate, good luck!    I KNOW how frustrating it is to be missing even ONE little part!  😩 😩

This is a good looking model. It would be the way I'd go too. You can always distress what you have left and make a nice weathered diorama with the 'left-overs'! Smile

John, there's  a vendor on Ebay called Viv's Diecast that has a parts car of one he's  selling parts off of now. It looks like he has the parts you need. I've bought parts from him before. Great to deal with. Contact him and make an offer for said parts. I've always been able to make a deal. Hope that helps. He generally has several diecasts he's parting out. 😊

Thanks,

Hmm, maybe he sold them. I thought I saw a passenger door with the handle and a mirror on the driver's side door. Man, thats a bummer.😟

@geno yes I saw them as well.  He had the door handle but not the mirror.  So I guess I will just have to look for a cheap donor car.

@carsman1958 Good luck buddy. I hope you find them. Sometimes it's taken me a little while to track down parts. You'll find them. 😊
