    Pick up Hot Wheels Camaro cars as they are the cars that are really trending right now. They did a 50th anniversary car that people are giving crazy money for. Could make some easy Tacoma mod money.

    Looking for colors that I don’t have, but because they were made in two different places at that time I’m after one of each color, from each place. They are not inexpensive cars. All of the original Spectraflame redlines go for big bucks.

    If you find a México Hot Wheels Convention Porsche I’d be great full of you nabbed it for me, they go for about ten bucks right now. They look like this.

    Whenever people ball at the Porsche casting prices I point to the VW castings and tell them to prepare to pay through the nose.

    WOW! Big thanks to all you collectors for bringing back the memories of my youth. Like my Comic book, Baseball card and Revell model car collections, The Matchbox collection was lost to time.

    I had a lot when I was a kid but same as you lost or tossed over the years. I have a real vw bug and one day at the store picked a vw off the shelf because I thought it looked cool and then one here and there and now I have a problem.

    The Porsche 911 Targa is an interesting casting as Mattel acquired it when they bought out the Corgi brand. Some of them even came with Corgi wheels which confuses some who aren’t aware of the acquisition. It’s also one of the very rare cars that ever came with a driver. Two variations of a Christmas cars were issued with Santa Claus as the driver.

    Porsche 935 casting. Sadly missing one variation to complete the set.

    When I go to one of the shows in mass they actually have race track about 25’ they set up. You can buy a car out of a box for a dollar and race it. Winner wins a limited hot wheels. I’m like a little kid in a candy store when they bring this track out to set up.
