This car is highly desirable and rarely shows up at sale, especiallya sale! The model is the most unique conversational piece that FranklinMint ever produced in a Corvette. This beautiful rare Corvette was produced in a limited edition of 5000. The car was issued late 1999 and sold out early 2000. The details on this model are impeccable. The true F.M.Corvette connoisseur will fall instantly in love with this lovely model and it true likeness of the real car.
Though it has been stored in its original packaging most of its life, I hesitate to say it is new. Some will apparently make that claim. This model has been sold out for seventeen years. Since I have owned it for that period of time, I can\'t say it is new. This one, I did display in an airtight glass case in my office.Just behind the passenger seat, there is a tiny scuff mark. It does not go through the paint and is barely visible. See pictures.
This Corvette is from my personal collection of Franklin Mint Corvettes. It is not from a pawn shop or estate sale secondary seller. My personal Corvette Collection is from a smoke free environment and no direct light touched the models or the packaging. The unit comes with the paperwork and brochuresin the envelope addressed to me; as well as the Certificate of Authenticity, hang tag, top, and paperwork. Everything is exactly as it came from Franklin Mint seventeen years ago. The box and packaging is in excellent shape.
As I have now gotten up in years, I have changed from driving a Z06 to a CT6. (They are easier to get in and out of :))
I am also downsizing to a smaller home. There is no real joy in storing the models in the packaging. It is time for the next generation of Corvette lovers to enjoy this collection. This is a sale. Happy offerding.
