Hey all. Ive been lookin all over for a replica of my 86 trans am. Just about everything trans am ive found is a smokey and the bandit car. Then there's 94 and up. Completly skips the third gen. So the big question is does anyone know where i could find a model or replica of my third gen? im lookin for sumthin larger than 1:64 scale, leanin towards 1:24. And ive been searchin evilBay periodically but as above its either smokey 94-up.

 

There are actually quite a few thirdgen models available. I know you said that you looked on ebay and didn't find anything, but they are on there. Models that I have bought on ebay:

Camaro:
1991-1992 Z28 1/24 scale
1992 Z28 heritage edition 1/24 scale
1985 IROC-Z 1/8 scale (huge!)
1987 IROC-Z 1/24 scale
1988 IROC-z 1/16 scale
1992 Z28 dealer promo 1/24 scale

Firebird/Trans Am
1987 GTA 1/24 scale
1989 Turbo Trans Am 1/24 scale
1992 Formula 1/24 scale
1991 Formula (w/ t-tops) 1/24 scale
1988 GTA 1/16 scale

There are plenty of others, these are just the ones that I have bought and sold in the past year or two. The 1/16 scale Camaro's and Trans Am's are a little harder to find, I see them maybe every other week on ebay. The 1/24 scale are easy to find, and the 1/8 scale are hard to find as well as being expensive. Hope this helps

 

yeah i bought a model 91-92 Z28 black. Its sweet , until it was destroyed..

 

hey fisher body, you have any 91-92z28 camaro models for sale? ive been tryin forever to find one. all i have found is a 91 promo model. if ya do pm me. thanks and also check hobby shops all the time. theres a few around here that have tons of third gen fire birds and trans ams but none with the camaro im lookin for.

 

Hobbytown USA has an 86 trans am in stock. They are located in Kennesaw G.A. and the # is 770-426-8800. If you call them they may be able to send it to you. I think the price was like $35 or something. It wasn't any kit I'm familure with but I've seen that kit on E-bay go for around $100. hope this helps

 

i was at walmart today and i found a 85 z28 model there. it was only 8 bucks. not the greatest but its another to my collection. they had a lot of other camaros from various years also. i might go back and get the 69 yenko they had there.

 

hey fisherbody...can you post a pic of that 1:16 scale GTA? Is it diecast or a plastic model? thanks.

 

Don't forget there are also 1991 and 1992 GTA models around too...

 

Kep lookin, they are out there

 

I remember the 1/8 scale Iroc when I was a kid If i remember right it was like $30 I should of bought two of them can't touch one on e-bay for less than $50 sealed

 

Yea it sad to say that for the promo models They ditched the 3rd gen Firebirds & only produced the Camaro.

(these are plastic models produced for that years run of cars only sold at the dealerships at the time)

 

I think I have more 3rd gen stuff than anyone should! I have many models (1:24), Matchbox (1:64), 1:18, ads, owner's manuals, dealer brochures, etc. Anything F-body!

I have much more now, that was in December.

Hey Don!

Just letting you know!

Yes, some assembly required too....alot !

I did get some Recaro seats from a Mustang kit, I will build my second T/A model this winter. (thanks for the idea G-Man)

It will be a combination of the MPC and Monogram models and with the seats I should get an excact replica of my ride.
I will buy an airbrush paint kit and make it shine

The monogram, my first model I made, is not a T Top and has the aerowing spolier. I made a few mistakes and learned from them.
