Modern Trans Am Series models?

[Armornv]

Hiya folks! I did some searching through the forums here so I apologize in advance if I've completely missed it. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so I thought I'd ask.

Are there any models in 25th scale (preferably larger but I don't see that happening) of any of the modern Trans Am series cars? TA, TA2 or TA3 mainly looking for the TA2 or TA3 style cars. I started watching some of the races from this year on youtube and kinda got a bit hooked on it. 

TA3 might be possible from a stock body with some effort, but thought I'd see if there are any out there already in kit form.

 

Thanks gang!

Sadly the Trans Am series of any era has received very little attention from the model manufacturers.  No modern T/A kits that I am aware of but as you mention that doesn't mean you can't build one.

It would probably involve combining a NASCAR kit with one of the current muscle cars, and maybe some of the racing kits like the Daytona Corvette C5-R or Rain-X/Hot Wheels Camaros.  I'd like to see what you come up with.  

[Armornv]

I had a feeling there wasn't anything. I don't ever remember seeing any. A shame really.

 

What I would be able to come up with would probably be closer to a nightmare that haunts your dreams more than anything that resembles a race car lol!

Thanks guys. I guess i'll keep thinking and looking for possible ideas for now.

   Clint there were 2 that I know of, Both were AMC Javelins. They were the '70 + '71 Penske/Donohue/Sunoco Cars. The '70 was from JO-HAN and the '71 from AMT (which I've heard was also via JO-HAN).

I WISH!!  Last Trans Am kits were Revell Mustangs of the 1990's.  That was a project of then product manager Bob Johnson. I built a IMSA Cougar from a test shot of the Revell street 1989 Cougar to try and get the bean counters to approve a IMSA/Trans Am version. It didn't happen and that was the end of modern Trans Am models. 

You could modify the Revell racing Corvette to TA specs but it's LOTS of work.

I offered a few TA models a few years ago and mastered a Mustang TA body for Slixx.

Also had the T/A Camaros.

Some of the Japanese manufactures have issued Touring Car kits for the various series.  The TC cars are similar to T/A cars.  They may interest you.

The Camaros did come after the Mustangs.....finda forgot them even though I have built and saw the real cars race!!! 

WANT the Javelins to be tooled again!!! 

[Armornv]

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I'm kinda diggin the Javelins. I really like the two Revell Camaros. I knew you folks could scrounge something up! 

Never occurred to me to look at touring cars.... I'll have to take a look at that.

 

Thanks again!

       Both of those are the '71 Kit. The difference being the '72 Woods Racing Livery on the Follmer Kit. Here's the '70 version
