I am not sure who knew about these, but they have not been brought up before to my knowledge...
But I found a bunch of them, they include Formulas, and Trans Am's I have found a 1986 Trans Am, 1987 Trans Am 1988 Trans Am, and several 1989 Trans Ams and a TTA, also several different color 1989 Formula...
John,
I see you have pic of the Maui Blue Formy...I didn't see it on price sheet. Do you have the link? I would buy two & try to modify one to a vert....I see they have a red 350 coupe.
Joe at the Trans Am nationals had one on his dash, he had the identical car in the show. He is the person that made me aware of them... He really wants your car I must admit. I have yet to find the blue one on line...
The Blue car I cannot find on Greenlights web page any more, I found it yesterday. There is also a 1989 Formula with Green wheels and green stripe that looks like a POS that I found for very expensive.
I have yet to find the blue Trans Am, it may be a 1986 or 1987
John
The blue car is the Northern Kentucky F-Body Association 1987 Trans Am...
It is listed as a 1986 on the Greenlight site but on the actual package it is listed as a 1987 Trans Am.
Just saw this in Hemmings Muscle Machines last night about the Formula 350s. I have the maroon and black GTAs, but I'd love to have a TTA in 1:64. I don't have any local outlets close to me here.
Where's a good place to look, John?

The problem with the years is that the car was modeled off my 86 Trans Am. We tried to get it listed as an 86 but Greenlight only had a license for down to 87 so they changed the year and didn't let us know.

What you need to do is e-mail Craig Binder (nkyfba at insightbb dot com).
not sure what the shipping costs will be but we will sell the NKYFBA blue car for $5 + Shipping
I personally have a matching set that I'm willing to part with for $40 +shipping. It is a green machine and a blue car both #67. the Green machine is the first green machine to do a double color change going from Blue and Silver of the standard car to Green and Gold for the green machine

I have the 1/64th two tone TA and I recently picked up a TTA 1/18 and I will tell u this, there are far better models out there as far as quality, paint and consistency than anything they will ever put out.
If it wasnt the novelty of finding anything ThirdGen I wouldnt have the 1/64 nor the 1/18 TTA with poor quality mold, paint, dont forget the metal taillites with sticker and the press on windshield and neato removable roof that is beyond flimsy and doesnt look that good.
Sorry, I tell it like I feel and I really don;t see anyone praising anything from them compared to what is out there with the only exception of it being ThirdGen related

I wish GMP would do some Third Gen's.
I actually think our 1:64 cars were real nice in quality. The license plate is is just like the actual plate that use to be on the car, the Ky cloud plate. Although the only thing I have seen out of the box is the proto type. All the other ones I have are still in the box #086 & #002 matching sets, which I am keeping. 86 is my sons and I have 002
There are those more serious collectors who are used to the outstanding quality of the high end diecasts like those produced by GMP and others. I have both the black and white GNXs from GMP and I agree that they are fantastic.
Still, a lot of people cannot or are not interested in paying around $100.... or even more.... for a diecast replica. I was very pleased with all of these GreenLight cars.... the 1:64 and the 1:18 examples. I thought they were very nice for the $$$ spent. At volume prices, there will always be small details that may be off, but on the whole I felt they were well done. Besides, no one else seemed to be stepping up to fill the void for small-scale versions of our cars.
All just my $0.02 only... I know others here disagree, some probably vehemently.

I concur with Frankie. Although the quality is not like a GMP or for heavens sake Franklin Mint, I did not pay GMP or Franklin Mint prices. I think for what they are the price is about right. They are much nicer than the 1:18 Sun Star 1982 Camaro, and the 1:18 Knight Rider that are sitting on my shelf.
