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.

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.

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.

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

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!

I have the 1/12th scale Ertl '64 GTO Covertible. I've thought of painting it Cameo Ivory, but not sure if I should pull the trigger on that idea.



I have several other 64's, but not convertibles.

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.
