It’s 1/32 scale . She gets so excited when she finds one I never tell her I already have it . 

Wonderful wife for seeing something she knows you love, awesome husband for not taking that away from her. ??

Pull back and go???

[cobraman]

Yes it is.

[Flat32]

Have you played with that feature??  Reason I ask is I've got a little plastic toy that has it and works really well. Kids love it and so do I.  I have a vision of drag racing models based on the pull and go "engine".

[cobraman]

No I did not play with it. I am 68 and stopped playing with them last  year. I just collect Cobra's.  ?

Found a Welly '55 Olds convertible in a thrift shop for $5.  No box but it's in very good shape.  And 1/26 scale, but it fits with the other die-casts. Colors are red/white, just like the pic below. (Which I stole because I'm too lazy to get the camera out right now.)

Great find, Mike!

Thanks. The same thrift store had some 1/18 scale diecasts for $10 each, but they were all foreign/modern cars that didn't interest me.  The store also had a '53 Chevy slush-metal bank/promo, with quite a bit of paint worn off.  They're asking $50 for that. 

I got sort of excited when I saw the box for a Revell '40 Ford Standard Coupe kit. Also $5. But it was brush-painted and mostly built (glue-bombed). And missing some parts, like the grille.  So I left it on the shelf.

That's a pretty cool car.   I was out of NASCAR models by then.  Action makes a nice product.

Jada 2005 Corvette C6R

Checked out Walmart this morning and this was the only decent thing they had on the shelf.  Being a Jada it is big of course, should have know better.  Here is a comparison with a BBurago of the same type C6R and you can see the size difference.

I completely forgot he competed in NASCAR. I have so many NASCAR diecast myself. Soon I might be posting some pictures of my cars I have had in storage.

Very sharp Corvette diecast!

Parts truck.  To fix my GMC. If you guys need any parts, this one may get blown apart.  Front axle is beyond repair I think.  I need bumpers and spare.  All else probably available if you need.  Or it might become a hot rod?  Ideas?  

[Gramps46]

Appreciate the offer Randy but my pickups are ok I think.

[THarrison351]

Hmm... I have a plastic one that has the same front axle.

Ouch!  Lol

[THarrison351]

I think this one might be a little easier to repair than your's. Some crazy glue and it will be all better.

Maisto 1/24 1970 Nova SS.....just a wash of black on the wheels and a slight lowering up front. A great deal at the store my son runs. (national drug store chain)  $8 plus tax! Decent little car.....trunk could open this model has separate trunk pinned closed but hinge base is there!!!

Resto-rod!  Got this one at a toy show a couple years ago.  Just looks great in that color.  Looking to add disc brakes without overpowering the clean look and de-chrome the engine

NIce!  An idea, maybe.   I blew the Chevy apart.  Got the front bumper and taillight for the GMC.  Saving on the GMC since it's a Limited Edition.   Since it's apart and I have no huge interest, may just try to sell it as a parts lot.   Maybe get my money back on it.
