Hot Wheels

I have a real one but not goin that far widdit......close enuff

 

Here is the transformer version of my xB.....

 

Found a 10lbs bucket of my old toys in the garage.
Damn kids painting sh*t.
Found an old Bug and bought another toon...
Here are a couple...I will drop a couple more, nothing really super cool, just beat up old Hot Wheels, Matchbox and Tomica.

Guess i needed a new/old hobby.

 

...and.

 

some non Hot Wheels.

 

Couple new ones.

 

What? Nothing really super cool? Those are all cool. Love the van and nomad!

bet you guys thought I was going to say the vw bug.

 

I concur. The van and the super hauler are bad ass !

 

All cool. I had that same nomad as a kid, so I would put that around 45 years or so (53 now).

 

All RLMoody's cars have jaded me i guess.
Maybe i should have said "no big money cars"...

Coast to Coast!

51 years for me on the planet.
Have had these toys the whole time.
Had not seen that bucket for 20 years.
Was fun to look thru, 125 cars/trucks.
I think 3 cousins may have pocketed a few in the '90s.

 

Red lines with mag wheels. There is some vintage stuff in there.
Surprised William 63 didn't jump anymore than he did. Must have them all.

 

Not all of them but I do have the vw bugs. The orange one with the bug on the roof came in two versions. The one you bought in the store had a metal base and you could get one at the Wisconsin toy show that had a black plastic base.

 

I think it was @Ridgerunner that posted a picture of the tonka vw many pages ago. I have a few I showed some pictures of and searched my house upside down trying to find the car carrier they came on but still haven’t found that dam thing.

 

White 67 GTX. Nice kit to build. I have done 4 or 5 versions of this car including a couple Sox & Martins. Cragars were added.
53 - 54 Ford Crest liner is done in Tu-tone blue with big wheels.
Pro Street 37 Ford humpback with Pewter, Maroon paint and gold everything else.
The 62 Buick Lesabre has big wheels and was slammed. You cant see it in the picture but I made copper brake drums out of new pennies.
60 Impala also has the big wheels and is lowered.

 

That black one looks like a 52 or a 53 Chevy ? All beautiful.....

 

love that Buick, came out real nice!

 

This is Deja Vu all over again. I just got back from Kroger coz the wife needed ice coffee and I whiz down to the toy section and notice four, yes four unopened 18-pack matchbox cases (they were getting ready to restock the toy shelf I guess). I found my 2nd 2021 Toyota Hilux in the first case. My thinking was "ok, there should be three more Hilux's in the other three cases and I'm going to score big". Nope. Just one out of four cases. But I don't care, I'm on a roll and will keep hunting. Does anyone know why Matchbox uses two different kinds of packaging ? ? ?

 

News and olds.

 

I used to have that 68 - 69 T Bird, Mine was candy lime with a black roof. You never see them anywhere. I think it met the same fate my other ones did with the claw hammer

 

Damn kids!
I think this one was green originally, can see in the wheelwells.
It had a heavy layer of black enamel, most of the others i did blue. Blue was favorite color and all.
Thinking now i should try and 'fix' my old "custom" jobs.

Was thinking about your custom cars... i have a small junk yard at hand... i dont know i kinda like them all raw metal too.
I may try a couple customs.
Just cleaned up a Matchbox Alvis Stalwart and Unimog PU truck.

Glad i never got into the hammer mods.
