Support your local demo derby.

The Vette based XLR is cool. Believe one other company issued the same model but I'm blanking right now. It had rubber tires and correct appearing rims . . . . Drats my memory is not good right now!

As for the Bird, I'm also unsure what the actual # is. Swifty or Dean may be able to shed more light.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
The Firebird is #1030. And Zach, I think you're looking for Columbia Telecommunications Group:

I was going to say the same thing, but wasn't

sure if it might be the 1060.. I don't have an

example to compare the base on..

1001-1045 are all closed door examples, while 1051-1090 all have opening doors. 1091-1099 is a mixture of newer castings some of which have opening doors and some of which don't.

Also, as far as I know, there are no castings between 1046-1050.

Another easy way to tell in this case- this is a '79-'81 Firebird and #1060 is a '77.

In addition to the Yat Ming, and the Columbia Telecommunications XLRs, Maisto also had one in their Players line. Blinged wheels on 'rubber' tires, and a metal base and quite a bit of heft on the earlier releases.
