While shopping at our local Marc’s store I took a detour to the toy aisle. I often do this, even after have sworn off 1/64’s after more than 50 years of collecting hundreds of Matchbox, Hot Wheels, etc.. I sold off everything and am now hooked on Mint models. My excuses for this one are many, I’m a Bandit fan, a Burt fan, a Poncho fan, and the fact that this little model is just plain gorgeous. Sorry about the photo quality, but this one stays in the wrapper.

Lots of 1/64 S&TB "stuff"  available BUT some items are not cheap.  This 3-vehicle set up, for example, goes for c.$450.     Yikes! 😬 😬 😬   So, auh... yeah, keep yours in the "wrapper."    😏 😏

That's a great-looking Pontiac Trans-Am. It is an excellent find at the store and would be pretty irresistible to get. A friend of mine had a real Trans-Am from this era. Very cool car !

Nice find. I  would probably have missed it as I rarely check out the Trivial Pursuit cars. I have the Greenlight Sherrifs car and 2 versions of the Trans Am. I like yours better.
