Yes, very strange indeed Mark; never noticed that on any Firebird, but will take a look just to be sure.

I have both, and seems to be correct. The one with the name in the transom is decorated as batmovil.

You can see the witness line around the back panel of the red car that leads me to believe it was formed by a separate part of the mold. Possibly a side action or an interchageable part. With that in mind, several different versions would be possible.

I think that’s a crack you are seeing on the red body. I didn’t notice any other differences between the two. Believe this is a factory painted body, perhaps one sold separately as I don’t think solid blue was ever a RTR option.You can see the witness line around the back panel of the red car that leads me to believe it was formed by a separate part of the mold.

I got fooled. That is the straightest crack I have ever seen.
