That is the Camaro one piece spoiler on a 2nd gen Firebird.
Usually you see the Camaro first gen spoiler on a first gen 'Bird.

[Firedup6975]

Yes

[Firedup6975]

Actually all 3 of my cars.

[poncho-mike]

I have multiples. When the ERTL die casts came out, I bought die casts of my white and blue 70-73 T/As, my red 73SD, then later I bought one of my 2002 Sunset Orange WS6 convertible.

Family members also gave me ERTL models as Christmas presents. I think I have six of the blue 1970 T/As, four or five of the red 73 SDs, and three of the WS6 convertible. I will probably end up selling some of the extras after we downsize in a few months.

[77 Canamman]

Yes, several of them in fact....

I may have to modify a few more for resale. It takes a couple of hours to perform the surgery with the use of side cutters, a Dremel, and paint to change the incorrect tan interior to the light blue as in the film.

[Keith Seymore]

Yep.

Jeff Koch was also working for Johnny Lightning at the time he wrote the article on the GTO for High Performance Pontiac . They were planning on bringing out a new model of 1965 GTO and asked if he could use the artwork of our photoshoot on the packaging. Naturally we said yes and received a couple boxes of these as a thank you.

[Keith Seymore]

This one was just a random acquisition, but I like it because it has this silver tool box in the trunk.

That's how we used to roll when we went racing: slicks and the big silver Craftsman tool box in the trunk.

Here’s a few more, the little ones are from a lady, she’s at the Dust off every year with a case of the tiny TA’s.
(1977 ghetto blaster i stil use )
A d they always say 1977.
Hallmark did a Black ta and the Y88.

[vertigto]

I think that I've have to break out the Testors to make a 1970 Granada Gold GTO.

[jamesq]

I no longer own the car, but I had a promo style model (1:25 scale) of my 64 GTO in Skyline Blue done by Wheats' Nostalgia. He has since retired.

I am a plastic promo fan!
