This is a Yat Ming diecast replica of the 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am in silver. YM I believe may have also done this one in 1/43 scale, too. It is a great-looking car, although power was well down on what it used to have under the hood. Nevertheless, Yat Ming did a fine job with this one and it displays very well.

Nice photos Mike. Yatming did some nice Trans Ams. This is my 79 with the Ertl 77. Another shot with my other Yatming Pontiacs.

@grockwood Outstanding collection of T/As! Despite owning a 1:1 for many years, Pontiac Firebirds & T/As are woefully underrepresented in my scale collection. 😔 😔 😔

A good friend of mine had a brand-new real Pontiac Trans Am from 1980 or so. It sure looked and sounded great. When he first got it, he visited me up at graduate school and I didn't know he had it.
As we walked out to get lunch, he suddenly spotted a new Trans Am in the parking lot and quickly said, "I think I will open the door and sit in the driver's seat just to see what it feels like." I was dismayed and said that's not a good idea and you shouldn't do that !
Then he produced the key and started up his brand new Pontiac Trans Am, lol !
