Anyone else have any of these?
Just scored my 1st one....can't wait to get it!!

2003 FC TC Jimmie Johnson.
Seen plenty of pics of em never saw one in person.
I take it they were the best detailed NASCAR diecast ever made?

I guess the story with the First Choice cars is that when they first came out they were $150?
Car ahead of it's time..they wern't a big seller cuz of the price.
2003 I guess was the only year they were made?
Limited production from what I see......none more than 1200.
This one I got is 1 of 756.
Got it off evil bay MIB for $34.50 shipped!!!

Can't wait to compair it to my Boys 2003 Johnson Action Elite!

Maybe someone know more to the story about Team Caliber?
Are they still around after 2005?

One of the descriptions I found of em on EB....

THIS IS THE DIECAST CAR ACTION ELITES CAN ONLY WISH TO BE !!!

HERE ARE A FEW OF THE OVER 20 DIECAST UPGRADES AVALABLE IN THIS CAR

Opening Hood,Decklid and Roof Flaps and roof top antenna

Gas cap door even opens.

The Tires even look like the cars taken a few laps on the track.

HIGHLY detailed engine and interior.

Working front and rear suspension.

EVEN the window net can be dropped.

Comes with a pit road scene, 4 tires, gas can, catch-can, jack that works, and a dolly for the tires.

Driveshaft actually turns when the back wheels roll

The Undercarrage detail is amazing!

Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity

Each car is individually numbered!

NEVER MADE AVAILIBLE TO DIECAST STORES ANYWHERE! (even the souveneer haulers at the tracks didnt have them!)

Team Caliber ( TC) along with Action Performance / RCCA were purchased over a year ago by Motorsports Authentics ( MA) who is owned by NASCAR. MA now produces Winners Circle, a brand obtained from Action. But I do believe that MA also produces a high end series of models which no doubt are the remnants of TC and Action enhanced models.
