Ha! Then hurry up and come out here, I have dueps of all of them. Good score on the white lightning. I need to dig mine out again, and list/take photos of what I have. I only have listed the dupes. I am bad, I collect every scale. It is harder to display the 1/64th scale stuff, as I have no wall room to pin them up. Do you display yours? George |

I took a few pics of my stuff today I'll post em up later  Is the 67 I just picked up a white lightning? It said something on the back of the packaging like "White lightnings arent always white" or something to that effect... Hmmm |

Usually, either the interior is white, the bottom plate of the car, or the engine or wheels are all white. I would have to see the photo to tell for sure, without knowing the colors of it. I have a few white lightning Firebirds, I'll have to go dig out my Johnny Lightnings to see what I have. George |

Nice stuff Dan! You acually have some things I don't have. Spiderman Firebird in 1/64th scale. The 1/43th scale Birds. And a few of the re-issue Trans Am models.  Is that a model of your car sitting on the trailer (at least it looks like it)? Did you built the 20th TTa model? I'd like to see a close up of that. Hint, hint! ;D Love the Duff beer can! Gee, if I post photos of some of my stuff, you'd have seen it all, so you wouldn't have to come out. Love those '97 IROCs. ;D Now, take some photos of your Aircraft model collection. ;D Nice collection! George |

Nice list Dan! You need to look for the '73 Brewster Geen Trans Am, and the '73 Black w/gold bird Trans Am. Peachstate and Ertl. I see you haven't gotten the Chrome Kitt yet. I've been thing of getting some more GTA, and repainting them the other factory colors. I wonder how many people would buy a Gunmetal Grey car? I have quite a few extra of the '96 Trans Ams, so I was thinking about doing those as well. If I could just fin the time. I'm sorting thru SEMA stuff (and trying to figure out where to put that crap), working on a secret project, working on repainting and polishing some GTA wheels (I just picked up 9 more wheels-2 complete sets, plus one front), cutting down quite a few dead tree limbs, working on the back fence (adding to it, and removing more bamboo), and putting down some more pavers to get another car off the dirt. Who said that retiring is easy? I work more now, than when I worked for a living. Now you are giving me another thing to do, put a list together! Heck, I should do that for everything, like what Product Books, Ad Planners, Service Manuals, etc, so I can figure out what I do need. Oh ya, and my Owner's Manuals. I am missing some years. I also have to post more photos up here on the site. Gee, do you want to see the Camaros and Challengers from SEMA? I can post those up as well. George |

Very nice Dave! I like the 1981 NASCAR Daytona Turbo Trans Am. Got a close up photo of it? I think it's a plastic model (too bad the plastic model didn't come with Recaro seats) built, right? I can't tell if the car has the Recaro seats or not, but I do love the two tone paint the seats have. I'll have to post up some photos of my stuff, a few people like Dan and Simo, have seen my collection up close and personal. George |

Would you all like to see a Diecast section here on the board? I could have it in three parts. Firebirds and others, and displays. Let me know what you think. George |
