13/04/2024 @ 11:35:38: night cub: Model Cars......who else collects them?
Well, it was based on the Colt
14/04/2024 @ 10:14:27: Baube: Model Cars......who else collects them?

maybe i should buy another one, turn it into a Eagle Vista and give it to one of my friends then , his mom had one 35 years ago.. :whistle:

I have both. :smile: I also saw the Cadillac GTP racer and the customized Pontiac Aztek recently, but at 2.69 € each ? At a recently rebranded supermarket that prides itself on low prices no less !? :eek: I only bought the Cadillac. The Aztek isn't worth it at that price. Future 5-pack fodder, I think.

and the customized Pontiac Aztek



You mean that.. thing ? At first i discarded it too ( i normally don't buy customized ones ) but turned back to the Hot Wheels bin after to pick one, i just thought it was too funny that from all the cars they could choose, they went with the Aztek .

Got the Caddy too :smile:

A few among the way too many ones i bought recently

1974 Toyota Celica GT
1964 Buick Riviera ( i wish the 442 did not had such a ground clearance, otherwise i would buy it on the spot.. )

I did not really cared about the Silvia since i already have a few 240SX but the Sentra SE-R that came with it, that's another story..

Lamborghini Countach that i assume to be this one

Something to regroup past, present, future and alternate Biff in a same vehicle ( yeah, i know, not black and convertible.. )

A Jag with a funny, almost subliminal license plate ( i did had to obey to it.. :grin: )

1987 Buick Grand National ( despite having a GNX badge on the grille ) . I wish i could get rid of that Fast n Furious card.. maybe i'll just open it.. there is some more that i want and don't want at the same time because of that.. :ohwell:

I don't know if i'm Dumber than the Dumb but i bought 2 of these ( i saved about 4.50$ on each so i might not be as dumb as i thought.. :whistle: )

BUY 1 (#12) was a famous 50s racing grey Mk1 3.4, still around today for retro events. I don't pay much attention to baby Hot Wheels, but occasionally notice they do very specific old racers with very accurate liveries which they don't fully identify - there's a trio of delightful Mercedes 300SEL 6.8 AMG racers (red, yellow and silver test livery) which are well worth finding.

Nice.. i didn't thought for a second that it would be the replica of an actual race car . My brain stopped at " This is Jag MK1 , me don't have.. " and that the plate was a joke to make people buy it..
10/06/2024 @ 02:54:53: Baube: Model Cars......who else collects them?
bought a few M2 vehicles

1959 Chevrolet Corvette XP-86 Concept car
1959 GMC Blue Chip ( and its even a blue one.. )
1988 Ford Mustang GT ( since its a grey one, i wish it had the blue strip . Of course, once i bought it i learned there was other colors available.. :whistle:

Jay Leno's EcoJet

Also found a Majorette mine and did too much digging in my car budget.. :whistle:

The GMC is cool but they mislabled it. Chevy used Fleetside, GMC used Wide-Side.

Try this one. The description is on the left, but it was used for many years:

The forum does not like spaces in the URLs
If you quote night cub's message and copy the URL from there, it works

I try not to buy race cars but its like becoming a trend now that any model i don't have ( and might be my only chance to have ) gets at least painted as one

1966 Chevy Corvair ( of course, after buying that one i learned that there is a non-marked one in the Jay Leno's garage series... well, at least i like the number .. :grin: )

Got a 1954 Mercury Sun Valley that claims to make any driving easy ( still have to find a way to climb in to verify that theory.. :whistle: )

A pair of 1992 Honda Civic

A pair of Chevy Nova ( that should still be called Chevy II at that point.. )

A white 1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am ( was not supposed since i got the blue one that i think looks way better but the white one kept me thinking about the 15th Anniversary one

And a Mercedes-Benz ( or should i say Porsche ? :whistle: ) 500 E for.. well.. being a 500 E .. :grin:
