I think that one is the plastic Monogram 1/8 scale. - always on ebay.
Jada made a diecast 1/24th if you are looking for metal.

Found them. Only 3 on ebay. I cant believe that 1 has the windshield missing and he has it up for auction. Whats a model car without the windshield worth? Absolutely nothing.

You could have a windsheild made but to be frank with you, these models sealed in the the box bring around $150. So, possibly one without a windsheild will go a LOT less.... I might even bid on it since I know a place that could make me the windsheild.

I found this one at the Lake County fair up by myself some years ago. I've been trying to find a convertible ever since.

Re: Who makes the model Camaro. Not the Matchbox or Hotwheel, the BIGGER one.

I know this is an old post but I have been looking for a largish model (1/8 or 1/24 scale) of a 1982-1992 (mines 89) IROC convertible. I can't find a single 1989 convertible model anywhere. Not even a matchbox/hotwheels. I found tons of first, 2nd, 4th and 5th gen, but not 3rd gen... Anyone seen one? I know I could buy a non convertible and try to convert it, but it wouldn't be quite the same.

Re: Who makes the model Camaro. Not the Matchbox or Hotwheel, the BIGGER one.

I don't think anyone made a third gen vert model. I have an 1/8 scale hard top and a few 1/16th scale hard/t-tops, but i have never seen a vert.

I have 3 red 91 Formulas that are still in box, and one '92 green Formula boxed. I picked them up a long time ago, and NO I'm not parting with any of them. Sure is nice to own a car where they have models made of them!

I know you have pride in your collection, but get them out of the sun so they don't fade. I used to display my FM Peterbilt 379 tractor and trailer, when I saw the fading on the side facing the window, I promptly boxed it up. All my American Muscle Formulas and TA's were boxed up since day 1.
