Hot Wheels

The transmission place up here in NH has a lot of the dragsters in a very nice display case. Very detailed. Next time I’m there I will get a pic.

 

Week 50! Little chilly out this morning

 

We just got 6"of frost in Ohio last week.
I envy you this time of year if that is all you have in Opelika.
Neat picture.

 

Hot wheels 1/64 bug rod.

 

Hot wheels 1/64 mustang. Came with the vw above. Anybody want it?

 

I got my Christmas present early. This is going to be the centerpiece of my collection. It is from Acme Die-casts and is a 1/18 scale 57 Belair Gasser. Ill be honest and think this thing is totally bad ass with the quality and details. They even waxed it before it was shipped. I found residue. It even has a racing harness and pinstripes on the dash. Acme has 2 other versions of this. One is red and has a different stance. The other is yellow and is more in line with the 70s drag cars. I want all 3.

 

We should have more postings "Does anybody want it" Pay the shipping and its yours.

 

Went for a fuse tap left with a fuse tap and two sets of square bodies.

 

Nice detail on that one.

 

I dig it

 

Found one that missed a full paint job

 

Nice!

 

At Dollar General no less. Glad I was in the mood for a frozen Red Baron Pizza.

 

Wife's gotta Christmas shop today so I've been put in charge of grocery shopping this morning. First stop, the Hot Wheels Dump bin

 

The trolls are on to the grocery stores up here as well as everywhere else. I lucked out a few days ago and bought a 65 Riviera Zinger at Walmart but almost lost it when a Walmart employee spotted it in my cart when I ran into the rest room. Told me he is the one cleaning out the displays there and must have missed the one I had. If I didn't come out when I did mine would have been gone.
Lucario Runner posted some Chevy/GMC pick ups yesterday. I found another version a few days earlier with a Coke Cola theme. The Zinger is the one I almost lost. All the chrome was tinted green so I took it back to chrome washing the parts with silver and thinner. The Sonoma is a model kit that sat for several years needing wheels. I found a junk Jada diecast and scarfed the wheels for this one. .

 

Definite score on the zinger!

 

Well Walmart was completely wiped out. Literally no single pack Hot Wheels. None on the pegs and they didn't even have a dump bin. I found one 90 NSX at Kroger on my IPA beer stop before I came home.

 

Dollar Store for the win....

 

Nice! I love that one.

 

Although I don’t collect the old vintage race cars. I love to check them out on eBay to see what’s out there. Sometimes I see some that are really detailed and would love to have but just way to high of a price tag. If you’re not doing anything check out the detail on this one.
