GLM has issued this one in three colors: red, metallic blue, and this metallic green that looks like it could be Verdoro Green Poly. Very good trim detail, including miniscule Pontiac lettering at the edge of the trunklid, "400" script on the hood, and key locks with the correct vertical key slot depicted. An LE of 109.

A shout-out to fellow Tennessean David Gilbert ("toycargeek") who had this one after the US importer sold out of this version.

@keko-romero Yes Keko, I was hesitant after seeing the prototype pictures that GLM issued. But once some pictures appeared of the actual model, I went after one. And green was my choice since, back in the 1960s, I used to see this color on Firebirds, GTOs, and Grand Prix sedans everywhere.

I was also hesitant about this one, the initial photos were not encouraging. Thanks Harv for your very clear and excellent photos, they made the decision to order the green convertible like yours as well as the red closed version. The Firebird is sparse in my collection, so these help to fill it out.

I was impressed by the early GLM pics of the top down version so I got the red one.  I am very pleased with it.  I look forward to hearing comments regarding the top up version though as I still have reservations about it from viewing the pics....hopefully it will be equally as well done.  I hope GLM do the hardtop at some point too, as I had a metallic blue one years ago.
