Hot Wheels

Couldn't resist either of these vans

 

Never seen these 'Sparky' diecast before, nice detail on these Porsche 917.

Corvette is a Mijo, good detail on it too.

 

Never heard of sparky either.

 

Today's highlights

 

I have been picking up those Auto World Silverado's. There are at least 10 color variations. I have 6 or 7 so far. There is also a 4-wheel drive version and step side beds.

 

This is the first one I've ever seen! As if I needed more things to search for haha! It's a cool truck for reals.

 

Diecast Direct.com and Diecastmodelswholesale.com have most of the variations on those.
Diecast Wholesale are great to buy from. Huge selections.

 

Yea.. you've mentioned them before... I find pleasure in hunting for these things in person. Never know what store will have what and each place is a surprise.

Somewhere down the line I may have to resort to online buying to find 3 or 4 missing ones from different sets

 

Not Hot Wheels but close enough.

 

This is a 1/24 scale die cast 30-32 Ford coupe that I just modified. I had already installed the slicks and had taken the car apart in the first picture but it still gives you an idea of how it arrived. The first thing I did was to re-drill the axle so the front wheels would sit lower and about a 1/4 inch forward from its original stock location. In the undercarriage shot you can see the original location of the wheels before I removed the overhangs. The rest was just adding details like finishing the dash and washing the grill with deluted black paint. Really happy with this one.

 

I found this one in somebodies stash at Walmart a few weeks ago. Honestly I bought it for the great set of wheels it has on it to use on another project. Its still in my display upstairs and is slowly growing on me. I may keep it as is. I did add the silver to the chassis.

 

Found these at an antique store today.. they're from 1996 to 2002 with the majority being 1998.



Scored these Toyotas at Target!

 

Still haven't been able to find any premium HW Toyotas....

 

They are few and far between here. I just happened to luck out today

 

Forgot I still had these, mostly trucks including a couple Pikes Peak Tacoma's

 

Found one of my collections boxes.

 

Those are ALL awesome!

Haha I'm heading that direction too! Thank you for sharing!

 

Thanks man! I like the Honda Super Cub and old Chevy pickup you posted earlier

 

Those square body Chevys are what I grew up on! Definitely a favorite
