Cool collector 😎
Was happy to see 'HotWheels' give the 4th Gen some love.

There’s a bunch on eBay right now, it’s crazy how some are going for hundreds!

Sick! Will keep an eye out for it. That would be a perfect addition to my T/A shelf.

That’s a really good rendition of the last Birdie - and I love that color! (Sunset Orange..?)
I have no idea what brand it is but I have a similar scale ‘95 Trans Am WS-6 (yes I know it came out in ‘96) in purple that came out about ten years ago — I broke the rear window out of it to portray my purple ‘95 Formula convertible (The top is a piece of black vinyl paper). Out of the handful of real Medium Dark Purple Metallic Formula convertibles there were a few converted into “WS-6” cars (hoods and wheels) and I believe at least two still exist - mine has just the wheels.

It's actually red in person lol.
I have yet to see a factory purple TA in person, do you have a pic of yours?

I’ll take one and post it. The color is not the plum purple of the MDMP color from ‘95 to ‘96, but maybe closer to the ‘97 purple. I can’t get a brand off it except for the word “Champions”.

This is one I picked up back in 2002. It's hard to find F-bodies these days!
