Action Zora Arkus Duntov 40th Anniversary Corvette Collection |
| |
 |
|
Eight
years after I started collecting Corvette items, my
(soon to be) wife Nancy and I were at the National
Corvette Museum passing through during a trip.
This set was on display at the gift shop. I asked
about the set and quickly learned this was going to be
expensive. |
| |
|
These cars were available a couple
ways. You could buy models
individually, or, as a complete set
of 40 cars. |
|
|
|
 |
|
The
full set of cars offered a number of extras. Full
sets included a display stand, base and header, and each
car had a number badge on the bottom. This is set
#0473 which also contains the bonus pewter car.
The museum employee gave me a brochure on the
set and we took it home to think about it. |
| |
|
A few weeks later, after a lot of discussion, we
decided to get one. This was quite a
purchase for us back then, as the set price was
a flat $1,000. And at the time, this was
the most I had ever paid for any collectible. |
