Hot Wheels

Studebaker pick up Gasser. 1970s Opel Manta. We have one of these drag racing locally called the Space Kadett. It was my inspiration but then this happened. This is what you get when you take a Matchbox car and bash it with a Muscle Machine. I destroyed the paint trying to radius the rear wheel wells and my tutone paint treatment wasn't much of an improvement. It will see round 2.

 

Same! This set came out of the blue for sure. Major dry spell here.

 

A friend gave me this today for working on his car a couple weeks ago:

 

Saw that 2 pack in the wild at a Target last weekend. The rv is sweet

 

It may not be one i would have purchased myself, but its definitely cool and i’m grateful he went out of his way to gift it to me.

I will say, i need to directly compare the prado to the other premium LCs that i have, because I think this casting is very different. The bumpers/lights/roof rack etc

 

I scored pretty big today, anybody still looking for Cavalry Blue premium 4runners?

 

3-4 are already claimed

 

Also grabbed these, i’ve been looking for this OBS for months:

 

Had to pull one out of the package






the little OBS truck is actually not bad! For $0.97 its decent quality! Gonna wheel swap it


EDIT:

3 of these are up for TRADE currently.

 

Well the show was kind of a bust today but all ended up good. Not many people at all selling and the one guy I wanted to see who has all matchboxes wasn’t there today. On the good side my daughter got engaged. Having a few drinks and celebrating right now I’ll post some pics in a little bit.

 

69 Boss Mustang I bought today. 1/24 very detailed.

 

Congratulations!

 

Thank you. She’s very happily.

 

@Kilo Charlie I talked to friend today at that show about that tow truck. Thought they were all the same ( Franks Towing ) just different colors and he told me no they had a few different names on them and quite a few different colors like you said. Only saw one today and it was the black NYPD.

 

Thanks for the update!
When I am at work I cannot access the Wiki page to post it, but it's called the GMC Wrecker and there's a ton of colors. I'm sure I will find what's meant for me.

 

@HuskerTrucker sorry I didn’t see that park ranger truck. My matchbox guy wasn’t there. I do have another show in 2 weeks that I’m going to and he should be at that one.

 

I had that little cubby in the hot wheels room that had a bunch of holes in the drywall. Hung up some old barn board and put shelves in. Put some cars on just to see how it looked and thought it was a little too dark. So placed some old license plates behind to see if I liked it. Not sure if I like it or not. Looks a little busy. Also not sure if I want to put some of my old lunchboxes up top or not . Opinions?

 

Just putting a few things in there to see what I like.

 

I say add the lunch boxes and keep the plates.. busy is good as it keeps people looking in this case.

 

Also brought this up from the basement and cleaned it up. Bought this thing about 20 years ago at an auto swap. Plugs in and actually lights up.
