Thanks! That's a heck of a Hot wheels/Matchbox collection you have! I have quite a few but no where near what you have. I still have most of mine from when I was little. I actually have the red Challenger you have. How much did you pay for the blue one? If you don't mind me asking.

It was 15.50 for it, I sniped it at the last moment.

Thanks, collecting Hot Wheels is something me and my dad have done for years. He actually has more than I do.

These came from ebay, a lot of 5 and they were 6.63 shipped. Loose, but mint.



1983 Corvette LOL








I found these Friday.

Wow nice!! That collecter case is really nice!! I like the 71 Maverick Grabber. I had started to collect just T-Birds of all years but I found out they have way too many variations of them. So I decided to stay with the fox bodies and I think I have most of them. Of course I'm sure there's some colors I don't have.

You'll hate me after I tell you where I found that collectors showcase.

Ok, I had to put the cars in and get pics so it's ready.

I found that showcase at the Goodwill store full of these exact cars from around 1980.







It was 9.99

now looking at all this, it makes me wonder if there are any die cast of 83-88 cougars.  Lets face it,, they really were not actually considered "cool".

I wonder if the did? Of course the 83-86 could pass as T-Birds in the Hot Wheels/Matchboxes. The grills make them look the same.

AFAIK no one made a fox Cougar unfortunately, just Thunderbirds. Maisto made a Mark VII.

I have a red TC just like the one you have, along with the larger blue one, but all of my decals and paint on the red one are gone because I thrashed those things when I was a little kid and played with them...

Dropped by Walmart Sunday night and found these.

 











This mystery car Superbee was just floating around loose in the bin, and I found its card later.






Holiday Rods error, a Shelby GR1 on a Purple Passion Woodie card. This thing might be pretty rare like this, I haven't been able to find another one anywhere.

This came UPS Tuesday.



You can order these direct from Plano in cases of 6, that's enough to hold 144 cars. They were 44.03 shipped.


These may say they're for hardware, but whoever designed them had Hot Wheels in mind.


They have slotted holes for hanging, I already had 4.

Those are really nice! Good thinking! The only bad thing is you have to take them out of the packaging. Unless it doesn't matter to you.
