1/18 Scale 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

This officially licensed diecast model replicates the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in black metallic with hood graphics. It features a detailed interior, exterior and engine compartment. The model includes opening hood and doors plus steerable wheels mounted on real rubber tyres. It arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging.

Collectors seeking authentic muscle car replicas

The 1/18 scale suits display cabinets and serious hobbyists who value licensed accuracy and movable parts. Buyers who want more storage or a larger centrepiece model should look at something else. The adult age rating means it is not intended for young children or rough play.

Simple display setup with movable elements

No assembly is required; the model is ready to position straight from the box. Opening the hood and doors gives access to the detailed engine bay and interior. The steerable front wheels allow minor positioning adjustments. Handle the diecast and plastic components carefully to avoid paint chips or detached small parts.

Questions about this item

Does this 1/18 scale model need any tools or assembly before it can be displayed?

No, the model arrives fully assembled in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging, so no tools or construction are required.

Will the 10.75 inch length fit on the same shelf as my older 1/18 diecast cars?

Yes, the 1/18 scale keeps it consistent with other models in that scale, so it should align with existing shelf spacing.

How can I verify the steerable wheels and opening hood function correctly after unboxing?

Gently turn the steering wheel to confirm the front wheels pivot together, then lift the hood and each door to check they open smoothly on their hinges.
