Hot Wheels

I always find them on Mercari. Just search hot wheels. Customizers are always selling sets in lots for pretty good prices.

 

Just missed out on someone selling a lot of 140 hot wheels for $18 on mercari

 

I hate when that stuff happens....lol

 

I really don’t do any customizing but my friend that does buys his cars in lots to take the wheels engines and other parts off of or to customize some that are in the lot itself. @RLMoody p/m your address I have a few sets I can send you.

 

I always grab these '71/'73 Mustangs when I see them, used to have a '73 IRL. Miss that car...


Really want to open, but I think the card is kinda cool...

 

I just opened the ones I bought today and saved the cards because I liked the artwork.
I slit the plastic under the car and wiggled it out. These will be worth more after your dead if you leave them carded.
For me its not a hard choice. I don't have many still carded unless they were low production pieces.

 

Finally found the yellow 510 Wagon! Finally!!

 

Yes!

 

My abusive automotive tendencies started at an early age....

 

I think they call that patina.
Your abuses are mild compared to mine.
I wish I had some of the Hot Wheels I took a hammer to when I wanted them to look wreaked. That was in the late 60s and those Hot Wheels would be worth some money today.
Seems I remember M80s reeked havoc on them as well.
Never understood why I did that. It never changed when I started driving either. My parents took away my car after I was caught twice drag racing until I was 18.

 

I understand the chipped paint and wear... just wonder where the wing went.

And yeah, i had to walk for awhile when i was 18 too

 

I have this car and the orange one too. Every time I see them I can’t understand how a kid had them and didn’t try to make them fly with that wing. I don’t have my original one from when I was a kid but it was in just as bad a shape as that one. Yeah I tried to make it fly

 

It'd be fun to be a paramedic and get to drive this

 

Got bored over the weekend and started to mess with some of the Hot Wheels out in the garage to see if I can save them from going to the swap meet this summer. The 64 Nova Gasser's I just pick up and modified by adding details ,bare metal foil and removing decals with lacquer thinner. The Ford COE was originally a Pepsi truck with a different cab and painted blue. The Chevy COE is modified with the black wheels that were originally on the Ford beside it. The Tacoma had its stripes removed and details added including a tonneau. The Datsun had the air dam painted and some of the stripes removed. The Camaro had the black stripes removed and details added. Wait until you see the Grand Cherokee I post next. I cant leave things alone. thinner.

 

Seriously lifted Grand Cherokee with Hot Wheels Tacoma wheels . Yes I trashed a Tacoma Hot Wheel and used it to make this one after I screwed it up. The 40 Ford was a Hot Wheels special release of some kind 10 years ago.

 

Nice work on the Jeep...looks awesome!

 

Found the Porsche this weekend. I need two more to complete the thrill climbers set.

 

Happy birthday @Toyotacrawler!

 

Thank you sir!
