HomerS Posted May 25, 2024 Posted May 25, 2024 Model car swap meet finds. I've seen the Cobra Mustang in red and blue markings but not green. 1
NYLIBUD Posted June 1, 2024 Posted June 1, 2024 More CVS diecast,and an autographed Warren Johnson 1 /24th scale Pro Stock.Picked that up the other day at a swap meet.
Gramps46 Posted June 1, 2024 Author Posted June 1, 2024 Super finds. I am trying to figure out the scale on the GT40 MKII and who made it.
Coyote_6 Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 Ok, these came in last week. I think they look great together. I so want to do a wash on the 18 wheeler's wheels - they lack depth as new. Just wouldn't want to mess them up though. Actually the grill needs a black wash too. 2

oldcarfan Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 I stop at the CVS in town periodically to look for any interesting diecasts and usually leave disappointed, but not today. Mostly they have the odd sort of generic hotrod, Mustang, or Mopar. This time they had these two sitting on the shelf just begging me to take them home. An Audi and a BMW both in 1/24th. I don't know much about the racing series, but I like the way they look! 3
Rocketman455 Posted June 21, 2024 Posted June 21, 2024 Got this today. One of my all time favorites. 1/43 scale 1
RW033 Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 Hi my name is Ryan and I have a squarebody addiction, and no this isn’t all of them lol
Gramps46 Posted July 6, 2024 Author Posted July 6, 2024 Truly amazing finds. Normally I would thank you for posting but I am too jealous.?
ranma Posted July 7, 2024 Posted July 7, 2024 Flea Market find: Ertl American Muscle 1/12 1964 Pontiac GTO (Untouched in box) $25.00
THarrison351 Posted August 17, 2024 Posted August 17, 2024 I received three fresh from their boxes Franklin Mint cars for my birthday this week. The 1915 Stutz Bearcat, 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196R, and 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gull-Wing. The Stutz did not appear to have ever been displayed. It still had its factory wrapping taped in place. The W196 came without papers, but those are never that important to me. It's how cheap they are. I already had the Stutz and Gull Wing as rebuilders and still paid less for these than I did for them years ago and these aren't damaged and have boxes! Now if anyone is interested, my other Stutz and Gull Wing are for sale. PM me. They are going for less than I paid, plus shipping. The issues are no wipers and slowly disintegrating tires on the Gull Wing. No cowl lights, or horn bell, bent front axle, and repaired bumper. They still display well in a case. 1
Gramps46 Posted August 18, 2024 Author Posted August 18, 2024 Yesterday mail brought this Franklin Mint 1965 Corvette. It fills a hole in my C2 Corvette diecast 1/24 scale collection finally. 2

Fantastic birthday gifts. Your Stutz z looks amazing!
vintagerpm Posted September 2, 2024 Posted September 2, 2024 Two 1/43 cars from Replicarz. Had to have the Rexy 911. Aston Martin was on sale, so I could not refuse to order it. ?
oldcarfan Posted September 2, 2024 Posted September 2, 2024 I got a couple of new diecasts by chance the other day. The first is a Fast And Furious Jeep. It's supposed to be 1/24th scale, but it may be a little larger? The other came courtesy of CVS. They were closing a branch here in town and I stopped by and got this Welly Toyota Celica. Not sure what to do with it, but it looks really accurate. 1
Gramps46 Posted September 12, 2024 Author Posted September 12, 2024 Just in. The 1/24 BBurago Ferrari 330 P4 shown as the 1967 Daytona 24 hour winner. Displayed with an original Heller and a diecast Jouef. The good news is that it is cheap, the bad news is the rivet detail. 2
caapa Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 Oh YES ! Eagerly waiting for it to arrive in stores here.
Gramps46 Posted September 19, 2024 Author Posted September 19, 2024 At the club meeting Sunday made a deal for a Spark 1/16 Ford GT40. Only my 3rd 1/16 but hey it's a GT40 so I broke my scale rule. Got it home and discovered the windshield wiper was missing. My friend searched everywhere for it but without any luck. I went online and found lemansdecals.com sells PE wipers in multiple scales so order some. 3
