Brunei Diecast Collectors.

This blog are dedicated to all collectors of models. Collection of models are a great way to display your love of cars, motorcycles and history. Well, if you can't get the real ones, which could be very, very expensive or in other words, impossible to owned...so why not just get the model instead? Whether your scale is 1:18, 1:24 or 1:43, smaller or even bigger, I just want to let you know that you're in the right place to enjoy the hobby of collecting models.

The Chevrolet Corvette C3 is a sports car patterned after Chevrolet's "Mako Shark II", produced between 1968 and 1982.

It is the third generation of Chevrolet Corvettes built and marketed by Chevrolet.

1975 was the last year for the convertible, and 1978 saw the introduction of a glass bubble rear window to "freshen" the car appearance for it's 25th Anniversary.

Car and Driver magazine found the Corvette to be the fastest accelerating American car for 1976, with a 0-60 time of 7.1 seconds.

Power remained fairly steady for the rest of the C3 generation,
ending in 1982 with the 200 hp (149 kW) L83 engine.
