Hot Wheels

Greenlight 1/64 vw. Can’t remember if this is from junkyard or the body shop set.

 

Have the black, didn't know there was a yellow. From 1996..

 

Yes the black is 1996 and the yellow from 1995. Many colors from the regular run but limited to the toy show and the only two with red exhaust pipes. Even more rare is the white one but I don’t remember what toy show it was from.

 

When the heck will we get a 3rd gen Taco scale model car?

 

Another Greenlight bug from the auto body shop.

 

Here’s a Access Cab from Matchbox.

 

Hot Wheels Wednesday Week 28! A little Providence Canyon exploration.

 

The detail on those is impressive! Who made them?

 

The Camaro is a Welly. Both are metal kits. The Challenger I'm not sure because I tubbed it and some of the name is missing now. It looks like RV-MM LLC from 2001. The Challenger is dead on. The Camaro is a few years newer. I picked up the Chip Foose 53 F100 kit today. Its black on the box but I will tu-tone it probably. I can never leave things alone.

 

I really like these ones. They are smaller than 1/24 scale. Is a 3 car set but 56 Olds was not put to scale right so its out in the garage somewhere.

 

Ah a bit of OC there Moody-I'm the same...even as a small kid every vehicle had to be to-scale while in play or it didn't get played with. Like the '60s Matchboxes; the 1:64 bigrig trucks were NOT to scale with the 1:64 cars. But the "King Size" Matchbox bigrigs were to scale with the 1:64 cars so I had a very few of the King Size to play along with those cars. If I played with the 1:64 bigrigs, no cars were involved. Add in the HO train layout and that's a whole new nightmare

 

Got this as mascot for my actual toaster..............

 

One of my favorite from my collection.

 

Greenlight 1/64 vw

 

Very cool

 

So in 1987 I bought my first Toyota truck. Had just graduated high school, wanted the 4 wheel drive but couldn't afford it so went 2wd and jumped in the lowrider scene.

Never forgot my first love tho... My line up of 87s...



Then when I moved to California after college, I got into the offroad racing scene....



Still missing the red Toyota off-road but don't want to pay 40+ for it, I will find it someday for around 20 hopefully.
