Gift for my Dad, model car search help

Any one know where to get either a die cast model car or something similiar.
My Dad's favorite car he had was a 67 Galaxie 500 fastback with a 390 in it. He got married in this car and drove it for a long time. I'd settle for just about anything as a remember when kinda gift. Suggestions links anything?

This is the only thing I found even offering the 67. There is plenty of '63-65 models available though.

Option 2 is I was thinking of finding one of the guys that do car sketches (like Foose does on overhaulin) and getting them to draw something up
