Default Got a new toy..... (literally)...

I found this 2000 Trans Am on eBay. It's an identical match to my car right down to the wheels. Lots of detail in the engine bay and interior...

I e-mailed MotorMax and they said the white ones are very rare. They only made 50 of them!!! The reds and blues they made around 5000 or each.

So here's a 1 of 50 Trans sitting on a bigger one!!!

EDIT... This thing was very pricey... obviously the seller knew that the whites are extremely hard to find..... :

I bought from a lady on eBay named "girlegirl06". Scale is 1/24. So it's pretty small. About 9" long. But really good detail, especially in the interior.

I have 2 of them, black and the 30th anni cars. I don't usually get 1:24 scale cause their details suck compared to my scale of choice, 1:18. But I had to get some Trans Ams so I got them. Never seen one in solid white though, untill now so they are rare, you say 1 of about 50? Yea thats pretty rare lol.

I'd like to get a 1:18, but I've never seen a T/A in that scale. You can bet if I see one, it will be mine!!!
