Well for one, I am an avid diecast collector..I have around 250 or so 1/18th scale diecast..I have been collecting for around 4 years now and have yet to find a 3rd generation Firebird diecast in this particular size..I have seen GTA Firebirds(1/25th scale,glue together)models..I have also seen 82 and 84 Camaros in the 1/18 scale..I am still on the look out for a 3rd gen. Firebird..if i find one i will let you know where..would appreciate the same if anyone else has luck finding one..Thanx!..:8^)

 

I have found Hotwheels "Blown Camaro" which is a Third Gen orange with decals, twice only. In 1:18th I have only seen a '89 funny car Camaro and it was plastic and kinda cheap.

Why are they're none? Oh well, as the popularity picks up, maybe we'll see more.

 

ive also looked but ive been told that its something to do with the licence required to make a replica.
Why its only with a 3rd Gen transam i dont know
PM

 

The 20th may come out next year. I heard that Lane owns the liscensing rights to the 3rd gen????

 

LOOK WHAT I FOUND

Interestingly enough, I just went to a parts-o-rama on Saturday. I don't know squat about 1/16, etc, but I found two types of die cast 3rd gen Camaros at the parts-o-rama.

One type were about 10 inches long. One was an 82 Pace Car in Blue/Gray. The other was a red 82 Z28.

The other type was about 7.5 inches long and the guy had 4 - One red, one dark red metallic, one black, one blue all 82 Z28's. I got the red one, my 7 year old got the dark red metallic.

Too bad I have an 88 IROC...

Since I am sitting at my desk I can look at it:
Manufacturer: Saico
Item No: DP8030

Not a top quality one, but not bad either.

 

I have seen and have on hand lots of 1/18th scale diecast.What me and 86fyrbrd are longing for is the 1/18th scale of any 3rd generation Pontiac Firebird.Just in case some of you don't know what 1/18th scale means.It means for every 18 inches on a "real car" represents 1 inch on the model cars.The 1/18th scale is usually around 10 inches or so.Oh by the way who out there would like to buy a 1/18th scale 1969 Baldwin Motion Camaro?Its Black on Black.Very sharp!Mint in box,never been opened.Email me and lets talk.Anyone seen a 1/18th scale 82-92 Firebird?..Please help me and 86fyrbrd out!..Thanx!

Re. the gay decals- They are gay, aren't they? I have found 2, and when I paint my car, I'm going to paint over one of them, stick it on the dash or something.

I found a nice 80/81 Z28 by Ertl. Not sure the scale, (it's in storage) but its about 10" long. I also found a red 82-84 Z28 by Ertl, same size. I got lucky and both had the orignal boxes. The 80/81 has the original sales receipt from a drug store for like $3.79! I also have the Franklin Mint 69 Camaro, and the Jim Beam 69 Pace Car Whiskey Decanter, Unopened! That Beam is getting more aged every day. I also have the plastic 97 SS model signed by Scott Settlemeyer (sp). I won it at the 30th anniversary birthday party in Ohio, my 92 Z28 convertible was his choice as favorite on the show field because he had one like it as a company car! I also have a 92 25th plastic promo model from Chevrolet.

for plastic kits, the other day at a garage sale my dad picked up a partially built 1/8 scale monogram 85 IROC for $10.

 

hopefully it worked this time

 

that model is still pretty widely available, I have two friends that recently bought that in model shops.

1/8 is a big freakin model.

 

it is pretty big, its like 25 1/2 in. long i think

 

DUDE!!!! Where did you see a 1/18th 84 Camaro? I need one of those babies!

I live in England, so do you have any web addresses I can have a look at?

Si

 

look for plastic models called promo models... gm sold them... they have 91 and 92 z's and many others. i have two 91 z's and a 87 iroc...

 

I have been on the look out for a 3rd Gen. 1/24:1 scale model, or Die cast I have searched all the hobby shops in my area, and still came up empty. I'm looking for an 89 or 90 Iroc Z or an RS.

 

CamaroRyan, want to sell one of your 91 Z promo models? What color are they? pics?

 

where can i get some camaro models or die casts online thanks

 

eBay has what your looking for bros, Do a search..1 18 Camaro make sure you do not use the : or the / it causes more diecast cars to show up during the search. I have seen I believe three colors of the Camaro and the new Police version. Hope this helps.

These are the 1:18 Camaros made by Sun Star. No Firebirds yet.........

 

Where did you find those, and where can I get em ?

 

eBay has them all the time. I have also seen them at KBee/Toy liquidation stores. You can also do a search under Diecast sites and buy directly from the site itself. I have done it several times myself.

Oh those models are the coolest! I love the little teeny spark plug wires. I have seen a 1/8 or 1/16 (I'm not sure which one, the box was pretty big) model at Hungates in the mall. I am definitely going to get that now.
