'76 Corvette Stingray





 The Hot Wheels Corvette Stingray is based off of the actual Chevrolet production model. A third generation Corvette patterned after the Mako Shark II concept car, the Stingray was introduced for the 1968 model year and lasted until 1982. This model is the last Corvette to use the Stingray nameplate, ending 13 model years where the names Corvette, Sting Ray, and Stingray were synonymous.

This casting was released in 1996 in white with a small blue Hot Wheels logo on the right rear fender. The model features a blue tinted windshield and a 3 spoke wheel which was introduced in 1995 and is still currently being used.

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!

Custom ARAH Duke

Here's another repainted Duke with some new ammo packs made in putty. This is a custom painted 1993 Battle Corps Battle Commander Duke. One of my early experiments with epoxy putty. I have another version of this figure on the workbench so expect to see it soon here too.
