Has anyone out there ever found a 3rdgen Model or a Diecast one? I would love to find one and own one of a trans am. Thanx for any help

 

Go to E-bay and look under toys and hobbies, then plastic models, automobile and search for Trans Am or Firebird. Several companies made different kits: Revell, Monogram, MPC, Arii, and AMT/Ertl. I know there were kits of 82, 83, 85, 87, 89, 91 Firebirds, Trans Ams, GTA's and the 89 Turbo. There are also a couple different scales 1/24, 1/25, 1/16 and also a 1/8 scale of an 87 IROC. I have the 83 Firbird in 1/25 and 1/16 as well and an 87 GTA in 1/16 and the 92 Formula in 1/25.

Hope this helps,

eBay's really the best place to look, unless you have a local hobby store. Sometimes, you can find a third gen at a good hobby store or they might have a catalogue you could order from. However, I've acquired at least three good models off eBay.

 

I have bought a couple 92 Z models off ebay, thats the only place I could find em. You will not find any more of a selection then what ebay will have IMO.

 

i saw a model of an 83 Z28 at wall mart yesterday. think it was around 1/8th scale?!?!? but i completly forget

 

heres one i got on ebay

 

Im glad I am not the only one who is so obsessed with my car I had to build a duplicate model of it! I even found the custom wheels to match! I even bought a second model just in case something happened to the first one! I think I need counseling !

 

Ebay,

Either look for Monogram camaro Iroc, or MPC camaro iroc...there are some ertl and revelle, but there harder to find. I have an MPC, just to busy to put it together, I think its an 86 or 87 iroc. I actually bought the kit from a guy in Austrailia.

 

A 1991 promo model done up like my car.

The blue one looks... too real... it's almost scary. Good crafstmanship

 

I am looking for a trans am. All everyone is posting is camaro's... I hope there is a trans am one out there because lo lthat would just be mean to make only camaro models.

 

I have two TA models.... they're not put together yet, though.

 

i have a ta and a camaro third gen model. the ta is a knight rider one im lookin for a 91or 92 camaro model so i can make it to look like my real car. i cant find one anywhere though. i even checked on ebay.

I got a few 3rdgen models. I think I have a Gta haven't put it togethter yet and a few promo models. Anyway check out the link in my sig and look at page 10 and 11 if anyone wants to see them.

 

I had a knight rider Model in the early 90's. That's the only one I knew about.

 

haha i want to get a third gen model and see if i can find some way to give it a drop. HAHA i think thatd be sick....if you got these things sand blasted could you paint them with automotive paint?!? Thinking if i got one i have to get my front bumper cover painted soon itd take all of 3 secs for the guy to spray the model if i masked it all off and it could be the same colour as my car!

 

i think that would be cool to have a duplicate, but it may pose a bigger problem to me than most, i own an 84 t/a. Did they even make any of the 84's?

 

The T/A one I have it either 83 or 84 I think.

 

My brother has a 1/8th(?) scale remote control '84 T/A with Pepsi logos on it,pretty cool...headlights and tail lights even light up.

 

john5.7 do you have any extra 92 promo models?

 

Sorry, only think I have the one. Ill check later to make sure though and get back to you.

 

sounds good.

Image removed- Please check out the rules. Thanks.

 

Did they make any Formula ones in 1/18th scale?

 

I never saw a formula ,only the 82' 1/16 scale size and the 89' GTA style !

 

I have a diecast 82 Z28, a 1991 Z28 promo model and a 96 SS model...

BTW, that console clock is forsale, PM me

 

Here's a link to my camaro,muscle car and exotic car collection,not updated though.http://community.webshots.com/album/28188493FGXkGeCVmu

 

Sorry, I checked and don't have an extra one.

 

One of my models has the Formula 'power bulge' hood, not sure if the car's a formy or not, though... I should really check.

 

The local model store by my house has a bunch of 85 camaro models and a few snap tite trans am's pm me if your interested in me getting them for you and sending them via mail..... I could get them to order more if youd like i paid 14.00 for mine.

 

Check my sig to see some of what was available. I have a few more not listed on that page that I'll try to update in the next few days.

 

I have several i bought over the years but my favorite is the 1/16 83 firebird the detail i was able to get in that large of a scale was great...now i have been looking for the 1/16 87 GTA haven't come across one one ebay or any hobby store recently.
My buddy has the 1/8 scale Iroc.

 

Still on the search for a diecast model of my trans. I finally found a buildable version of my car. But the Die-cast one would be better because ever since I was a child I suck at building models. Anyone know of any places where they got em? Thanx

 

Sorry that I didn't mention it earlier but there is of yet no 1/18th scale 3rdgen T?A-Firebird.It wasn't til last year that Sunstar came out with the '82 Z28,the only diecast 1/18th 3rdgen Camaro.Now there's been several hotwheels size firebirds most recently by Johnny Lightning with their new Firebird series and there is a 3rdgen firebird.

 

Never seen em in matchbox form either. My nephew got cars out the *** and I always look in them for mustangs and trans ams. I am gonna have to look into the matchbox ones. Thanx 91zman

 

I don't think that you're going to find anything from matchbox or hotwheels,the last 3rdgen firebird by hotwheels was back in '97. As for MB they hadn't done one since '95 when they had the Premiere series out.,there were 2 dare cop car t/a's last year though.It wasn't a very good representation of the Firebird either.Your best bet is the 1st series of the Johnny Lightning Firebird series which is now on its' second run,which has no 3rdgens in this series. Ebay is the way to go.I've gotten quite a few cars that way. Good Luck!

 

I've made a page with my models/diecast cars:

http://home.comcast.net/~kerryismygirl89/models.htm

I also have a model of a '98 Firebird and some 1st and 2nd gen stuff too.

 

I build plastic model cars. I dont have many 3rd gen kits but here are the ones I have and some die cast ones I have. These kits arent the greatest of my collection, thats why they are dusty and dirty. I dont bother casing them cause they didnt come out how I liked. So sorry for the dirt on them.
These are 1/24th and 1/25th scale. We have here a 1987 GTA, 1984 T/A, KITT, 1991 Formula, 1991 Z28, 1983 Z28






Here are some unbuilt kits I have, Im currently working on these and they will hopefully turn out the way I want them to. Also in this pic are some old Iroc racing Iroc Z Promos that are very rare.



Next are some 1/64th scale Johnny lightning Die cast I have.

1982 Pace Car Z28, 1982 Black and Silver Z28, 1987 Red Iroc Z, 1989 Black Iroc Z

 

matchbox had 2 third gen firebirds 2-3 years ago they were part of the dare series they are painted up like squad cars they look really good.
one is red the other is a black and white

 

These are them check out my site for more thirdgen models, matchbox, hotwheels,JL...




my site pages 9, 10 and 11 http://www.cardomain.com/id/john87iroc

 

I just bought a 87 camaro promo and a mpc 86 Iroc that im ganna paint up exactly like my iroc and im even gonna make the stance the same. I got the promo for like 6bucks and the iroc model for like 10bucks. The promo models have way more detail then i thought they had.

When i was yonger i had 2 mid 80's t/a they were the same model. They where black and gold on the box built by monogram. They ended up geting tore apart and one was ruined cause i couldnt build it right i was just too young...probaby 11 or so.

 

who makes the 91 z28 model??? ive been looking for one....

 

I belive mine was a REVEL.

 

My girl searched down and made an exact model of my car for our 2 year anniversary, definitely keeping her around for a while. She even made a completely new rear glass since the original one was fogged. I will take some pics later and post 'em.

 

Here are my three die cast models: two 1/24 1982 Z28's and one 1/18 1982 Z28:hail:
