    I have that same Matchbox white Ford GT with the number 6 on a hood stripe right? And I always wanted that Ranchero-looking one. Cannot recall its name but I remember it was a very cool sounding name. Was it "Fleetside"? I also have your AMX but mine's burnt metallic orange-I think yours is a more rare color!

    They sell reproduction ones. Or you can do what I did, but one in rough shape for cheap that has both of them. I plan I buying a nice one that doesn’t have the boards. Or you can buy other newer cars that have similar ones if you don’t care about original ones

    The only cars I have are these, I believe they are Matchbox.

    The fast food restaurant Hardee’s gave these away in 1990 when the Days of Thunder movie came out.

    Ok, I guess I do have one more car. I was at the 2011 Coca Cola 600.

    I walked by a souvenir stand and saw this 2007 car for $2.00 on sale. I don’t know why I bought it, I’m not collecting the set. I may have been slightly inebriated.

    Good tips! I need to do something to fill those side pockets. I thought though that it'd be kind of cool to fab two from balsa wood and paint them something period-correct. I don't know-like them flowers or palm trees LOL

    That actually sounds cooler than buying the plastic reproductions.

    The Porsche 959, and 80's icon. A literal testbed for new and unheard of technology that now is commonly found in even base model cars. And Mattel didn't let this casting sleep either, introduced in 1988 by designer Larry Wood, it was a serious workhorse going from mainline, toy sets, series, and even a treasure hunt edition. I've omitted the rear view pictures to protect your bandwidth. I am still missing quite a few of these from my collection.

    Edit: Just checked and from what I can tell, I'm missing at least 15 different releases or variations.

    That's what I thought too! Might even be fun to make a few. I cannot recall if the originals had a little tail rudder or not but these would:)

    Here’s two from a newer hot wheels, can’t remember which one. Saving for a custom later but you can see they are a little smaller and don’t have as big of a fin

    Has anyone seen the Tacoma Hot Wheels? They are Red (Tonka Toy look with big off road wheels.) Look like mid 80s models. I picked up 2 and repainted one of them to look like my brother in laws 86 Taco and gave it to him. Only saw those 2 and none the last 6 months since. The second one is hanging off my mirror in my 17.
    Also saw Matchbox had a 16 Tacoma with bed tent set up. It was tan in color. See them on Ebay but not in the stores. Not real detailed though.
    You cant give away anything Nascar in my area. I have a lot of that stuff boxed up in the basement after I gave up trying to sell it off. Lost interest in Nascar back in the 90s when started making the seats half as wide as they used to be and then try to charge you twice as much for them. Also could not get into seeing cars on the track that did not exist like 2 door Taurus and Camry's and that car of tomorrow thing.
