Happy New Year Fellow Corvetters!

Does anyone know where I can get a MODEL to build 1973 Stingray w/ T-tops?  I'd prefer stock, no side pipes, gill dressings, etc.  Luggage rack preferred.  Proving most difficult to find.  I already check E-Bay and popular model company websites.  I know other vette owners who would like the same model. 

Thanks in advance!

Here's a Promo car
There is also a '73 die cast made by Action in the Zora Duntov Collection, but they are hard to find these days. Don't remember what color it is...I'd have to dig it out to see, but I think it's brown, or orange....
 The only plastic model kits that I am aware of have some sort of "mods" to them. I'll check a little more and see what I can come up with.

Thanks Adam's!  Look forward to see what you come up with.  

I came across that same promo car.  It's beautiful, but I'd really like to build it myself :)
