Two is better than one Monday! Here we have a factory-built Lindner Nöcker's 1963 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Low-Drag Coupé from SMTS. This is my second one, the deal was too good to pass up😊 Both cars in the last pictures are factory-built; however, I changed the tire and the exhaust tips on one of them.

Big Block Tuesday! Today we have a factory-built AC Cobra from SMTS. Solid white metal construction. Once the hood is removed, you can see the massive 427 power plant. Enjoy!

Twins Wednesday! Here we have another 427 S/C from SMTS. This beauty is built by Dean Paolucci of DMP Studios. It sports two 4-barrel carburetors rather than a brace of Webers. To the legendary collector who entrusted me with this beauty, thank you!!!

Bullitt Thursday! Today we have a 2008 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt from FM. This one is the First Production Article sample. I like this color better than the one on the production car, which is shown in the last picture for comparison. Enjoy!

Happy Die Cast Hunting Friday! Ever since @chav posted his black FM 1960 MB 300SL color sample on page 81, I had been searching for it. Finally had the chance to acquire one. It is beautiful! Enjoy!

People Mover Saturday! Here we have a Hyundai H350 minibus. This curbside model is used as a corporate gift and is one of 60 pieces made. If the gold chrome is too much, it is also available in dark blue. Enjoy!

Sample Monday! Today we have a 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am from Franklin Mint. This is a First Production Article sample. I don’t have a production car, so I can’t compare them. I think the production version has gold wheels and the body is more yellow. This one has some gold in it. Enjoy!

@lu Heres the production version Lu (roof pieces are still in the box). Nice model, strangely FM decided to use moulded on seat belts. Actually I kinda prefer your yellow version.

There are yellow, white and red version in addition to the black version. The white and yellow ones are very limited editions, 250 each, I have the white and black versions.

There's also a black and white police version:
Here's the red T/A and my Esprit Rockford Files Firebird made from a police T/A. I have the black version also. I think FMs later marketed the black T/A as a Smokey and the Bandit car, so that would make two black versions.
I like your yellow T/A better than the production version. Wouldn't mind having a yellow or white one, just too expensive!
