Re: Firebird memorbilia collectors

I'm not really a collector, per se.... I have all of the brochures (some in duplicate +++) and most of the stuff you listed. Now I've tried to scale back and mostly look for the GTA-related stuff for my website.

Still, my wife says that's a lot of stuff in the back room.

Re: Firebird memorbilia collectors

I'm not much into memorabilia either but I have picked up some 1989 20th Trans Am stuff and parts specific to the car along with some GTA stuff, like an 89 product book, dealer brochures, and various magazines from the era.

Re: Firebird memorbilia collectors

Now that is some high dollar stuff right there. The clusters and the tips are worth quite a bit, let alone the owner's box. Emblems seem to have come down but still worth some nice cash.

I still have my brochures and Indy programs. Might even have pit passes. Along with some stock stuff that is still stashed away

I am a collector. I try and focus on 82-84 and 93-97 Stuff... But if anything cool catches my eye I'll go after it.

I've got a bit of everything from NOS parts to an 84 T/A Billboard

Re: Firebird memorbilia collectors

I try to collect all the thirdgen camaro stuff I can get my hands on. Right now I have some models, promos, a couple dealer posters, and a 1:1 scale billbaord of a 84 z28.

There's one guy on here, I forget his name( something to do with a tta) who has an unbelievable collection. I'll try to search for it later.

Re: Firebird memorbilia collectors

I don't really collect, but I have bought a few things. I have the 1982 dealer book with all the options, paint chips, and wholesale/retail price lists. I also have a few MPC original era unbuilt 1:16 model kits. I also have a Chiltons style book by Clymer that is 1982 only.

Re: Firebird memorbilia collectors

One of my most prized possessions. An original NIKKO '84 TRANS AM R/C car. It was a promotion between PepsiCo and Nikko back in 1985.

1/10th Scale
Black and Gold Body
Detailed Exterior with Phoenix
Front and Rear Bumpers with minor scrapes
Minor flaws on it
Looks to have never been played with back when it was new.
Orignal Box (worn) with all Papers and Manual.

Frequency - 26.95 mhz

Batteries - 8 AA for the remote. 6 C and 4 AA for the car.

Works FLAWLESSLY.

No battery acid buildup anywhere.
