I have never seen a '63-'67 Stingray in diecast in larger scales that is the right proportions... something is always a little off with the roofline or the fenders being a bit too bulbous or something.

I have several 1/43rd scale Gran Sports by Eagle, but would love to find a nice 1/24th or 1/18th factory stock Stingray fastback... preferably a '66 or '67... not necessarily a big block, although I realize that is probably most likely what would sell best.

And I would love a choice of 3-4 colors. No, I'm not picky.
:D

Are there licensing issues? Does GM get royalties... is that perhaps the reason there isn't a good one?

It's not a licensing issue. If you don't need super detail Miatso makes a very nice '65 coupe model. I bought mine at costco for only $11. At that price you can't lose!

Unfortunately, there are licensing issues... discussed at greater length here:

I will check out the Maisto... I have probably already seen it online... if it is like the others out there right now, I will probably wait for a better effort from another manufacturer. Minichamps or AutoArt would do a good job.
