Okay... Not to be nitpicking, or anything, but I don't think any LS1 TA's came as hardtop, only as one with T-tops or convertible.

Anyway... There are bunch of 1:24 scale models on Ebay. I don't think I've seen any 1:18 scale T-top TA's lately, though.

I got a WS6 model from an r/c car shop. Also saw the same one at Hobby Lobby. I think it was like ~$12. I thought the thing was going to be one of the snap together kits... darn thing was glue together unpainted style.

I know it says like ages 10+ but man my fingers are too big to be gluin' in tiny shifters lol.

There is a 1/24 ram air version made by Maistro that's sold in many colors. I've seen them on ebay, and I've purchased a few of them from local toy stores.

I have a SOM version, a 30th Anniv. version, and an NBM version. They're also available in Red and Black too.

The 1/18 scale die-casts from Yat Ming are all convertibles I have five of them....SOM version, Red version, 30th Anniv. version, CETA version & inverse 30th Anniv. version.

I know that walmart has a 1/24 plastic model of an LS1 TA. Saw it a few weeks ago and was debating on getting it. Also, Johnny Lightning has a series of Trans am's. I think it's an '02 one. Either the regular one or the White Lightning version would would be sweet to find. I never found it and I've lost all my connections from hotwheels / JL diecast collecting anymore. I would love a 1/18 one, or a sweet RC car one. Possibly a pedal car WS6, lol

Checkout scale18.com too.

Email him if you dont see it on his site, he's normally really good about finding stuff.

Oh my gosh, that is the worst format for an online store I have ever seen.

They have good ****, but you can't find anything with how they have it set-up.

Next fifty? Am I supposed to push that five hundred times until I get to the T's?
