Paulford8 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I was given a 2010 SHO die cast today. I was actually beside myself with surprise at getting a gift, what it was, and who gave it to me. My stepsisters biological father was the giver. He is a huge car buff, and has a terminal nerve condition that is taking all motor control. I have talked to the guy 6 times in my life, last time was at Christmas. Here is what he gave me, said he found it on e-bay... Never even thought to look for one of these myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve142857 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Very cool! Any plans to modify it? X pipe, plastidip? Lol. I wonder if the chrome on tail lights will flake? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothball Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Serious side: What an awesome gift from one you hardly knew. Apparently he knew you well though! Fun side: Love the mod thoughts Steve. Also, does it come in Umber interior too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 You know now that you mention it that 3rd cat bothers me... Some hobby glue and a coffee straw will take care of that problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 It's a very nice gift. Before you modify it be aware that these cars were a limited production run by Greenlight, I believe there is less then 1000 of each color that was available. I had to wait for 6 months after ordering to get mine. Also the only colors that were available were: red, black, and silver. So it is a great gift and they are somewhat hard to find.

SpoolinX2 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I've had mine for a few months now. I've even taken a black sharpie to it to mimic my Plasti-dipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve o Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Very nice die cast. You should have had a body in the trunk for the open lid picture though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got5onIt Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Those are really great replicas of the SHO. Bought one for my son several months ago and he promptly was able to rip off the spoiler and both side mirrors after a few hours of play. He was really disappointed when I got rid of the SHO and he could no longer be like daddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
