Hello guys, I did not get these today. Actually I cannot remember when I purchased them. But they are cool subjects. Thought you guys might like them. 

 

[Brudda]

Another ford. 

[Gramps46]

Please tell us more about the models.  Scale and origin.

Great looking cars. Love the Daytona.

[slusher]

They do look great Bruce!

Picked up a few diecasts at a last season car show yesterday.

Really nice finds.  What a great way to close  out the show season.

Big diff between wants and needs. 
Only a waste of money if you can’t afford basic needs. Otherwise it’s fun money.

Picked this up at Sam's club this week ..............

[Gramps46]

Very striking find and it is a Special Edition too. 

[Zen]

Yeah, not too bad for $17. They had few others such as Porsche, Lambo, etc.

That's a super deal !

Local toy show yesterday, first one I've been to in 3 months. (Just hadn't been in the mood.) Got three 1/24 diecasts, all $10 each: 

1. Maisto Dodge viper in dark green metallic

2. Maisto Lambo Diablo in purple

3. Ertl '63 Vette coupe in black with red interior. 

All are slightly "distressed" and in need of cleanup/Love. The Vette needs some of its paint touched up but should be easy--it's black and I've got a new Sharpie black oil paint marker. Only thing missing seems to be the right-side mirror on the Lambo, but I can just display the other side out. 

I'm getting close to getting in the mood to go out in the shed and try to find all my tools and paints and so-forth, which The Lovely Mrs. Snake unceremoniously stashed back there last spring when I had my stroke. Got about six new diecasts now that would make "Getting Back Into It" projects. Wish me luck.

Welcome back in anticipation. Fu the bejeebus out of those things. Ya got this Snake. ???

Very glad to see you out and about and your finds at the toy show are very fortunate.  Very best wishes on getting back in the groove.

Agree, though @Snake45 seems like a train. 
Here’s a good groove to be in, actually does have enough cowbell???

I thought I had all the '63 diecast coupes in 1/24/25 scale until I read Snake's post about an Ertl and looked it up on the Bay and saw the black with red BIG A Auto Parts split window for $4.95 + 4.95 shipping.  Now I ask you, how could I pass that up, still in wrapper and box?  Only a dollar more than Snakes and from the comfort of my home.  Of course, Snake is now back in the influencer category big time that I must be aware of.

You actually have a dime less in yours than I have in mine. And yours is perfect. Dimmit!
