Default Where can I find an ls1 trans am diecast model?

I have a WS6 trans am and id love to get a diecast of my car. However all the ones I found are the 1999 special edition or the 2002 yellow one.

Has anyone found just a Trans am diecast? WS6 or not.

Thanks in advance!

All that I know of is model cars, but you would have to build it. The good side of that is that you can build it however you want(i.e. like your own car).

Thanks for the links thus far guys, but I was thinking more like the 1:18th scale die casts that you find at the stores. not the hot wheel size. But thanks for the finds thus far! Keep em comin for others who read this thread and are lookin for that!

My link went to a 1/24 scale car.

They don't make a 1:18 scale t-top version of any 98+ 'bird. You can get convertible versions all day long.

Search the internet for Road Signature (or YatMing) diecast company..they make the 1/18 diecast of trans ams. I personally have the yellow collectors edition, '99 Anniversary edition, and a SOM in my collection, all that I've purchases at big auto shows in wisconsin for about $25 each.

here's a link to an SOM:

Just do a google search for that company and you're bound to find something that interests you! good luck

What you could do and I was thinking of it. It would be white but get a lt1 25th t/a. I think ERTL makes it(T-top car) and buy one one the Road Signature 30ths and use the 30th for parts to add to the 25th. I am sure it could be done with some soder and Testors enamel paint.

Heres a 1:18th 30th Anniv. droptop on ebay. I usually see other 1:18 LS1 TA's (mostly T-top) from time to time.

They currently don't make and 1:18 scale LS1 Trans Am T-top die-cast. They're only available in 1:24 scale.

However, you can find convertible 1:18 scale LS1 Trans Ams all day long.
