WTB - Specific FM 57 Pewter Corvette

[SebringBill]

I'm looking to buy a particular pewter Franklin Mint 57 Corvette. This 1/25 scale model was issued in a numbered run of 9500 (if I recall correctly). I'm only interested in #3143 - because that's the serial number of the 57 Corvette sitting in my garage. I would be willing to replace your 57 with another number or would buy it outright (within reason!).

Thanks. E-mail me at sebringbill@comcast.net

UPDATE:

I now have #2982 to trade (still unwrapped in the box with all paperwork) for #3143.

C'mon...anybody?

Yup, to no avail. It appears once it's out the door (and paid for) FM is no longer concerned.

Did you try ebay? Usually you can find anything on there...

 

[SebringBill]

Yup, I regularly visit there and regularly have to ask the seller what number they have. No luck yet, but thanks for looking and suggesting!

Here it is, over a year later and while I now have the "Garage Mahal" (according to my wife) for the car - aka The Motorhead Lounge - I'm still looking for #3143 and have #2982 to trade... :ugh

OK, so now it's another year later and...doodly squat!
