Default Die-cast Crossfires

As I was walking through Wal-Mart earlier today (went in to buy Zymol) I decided to look through the die-cast cars looking for a Crossfire roadster. I had seen 1:32 scale and 1:24 scale coupes but had never seen a roadster. However, what I did find today was a Hot Wheels Chrysler Firepower Concept - 2006 First Editions 14 of 38. Does this mean that Chrysler may be giving the attention to the Firepower that the Crossfire never received? Has anyone ever seen a Crossfire roadster die-cast miniature?

Andrew,
Do you know if Walmart still sells those dub crossfires? I've been looking for one for a while and haven't located one.

I have access to some silver (I know there haven't been silver Xfires) and metallic red coupes in 1/32 in their official Chrysler boxes. Let me know if you are interested. They cost $10 and S&H is $5. Let me know if you are interested soon as they are in short supply.

Here is a picture of the red one.

Your timing is impeccable. The 2007 model comes in a new bright silver metallic color. Can't beat that.

ha, at the bottom it says, "drive a luxury car at a fraction of the price, without the huge monthly payments" ... don't need the RC car for that!

Has anyone bought a MotorMax die-cast Crossfire? I want one of the 1/18s that I have seen on eBay but worry that the quality and detail might not be good. I have never bought a model like this so I don't know who offers the better product.

Just trying to spread the love. LOL.

Right now all I could find was silver and red, but I will keep looking and let everyone know.

I bought a MotorMax 1:18 the only color I could get was black. The detail is pretty good and as with all MotorMax it came with a nice stand.

I bought it at a place called Traders World, it was 19.95. The Girl there told me they came out about 3 months ago.

Here is a pretty harsh review on the MotorMax Crossfire. From the pictures shown it doesn't look that bad to me.

I think it looks good for $20.00, the detail is not to bad, I could not believe that someone would get that detailed over a $20 model.
It looks good on a desk or just on display.

I have a black MotorMax Crossfire I got on Ebay. I think it looks very good sitting on my desk for the price.

Does anybody know if an expensive die cast model of the crossfire was produced, such as Franklin Mint? I'd love to find a very detailed model of my car.

I got one from DC after I submitted a story to them for their magazine, along with some wonderful other little goodies as a thank you and its quite cute. While not very detailed, nor the color of my car, its the thought that counts.

While I am not a collector, I'll keep it (its packed up in a box somewhere in storage because it does not fit into my female decor).

I found one of the New Ray 1/32 Crossfires in SSB this weekend at Big Lots for $3. I got the only one they had at the store I went to.

I also have one of the Motor Max 1/18 Crossfires. I don't think it is as nice as some of the American Muscle 1/18 scale cars that I have, but for the price I would say it's pretty good. My main complaint is that the back glass doesn't sit flush, but sticks up above the hatch.
