64SS350 Posted August 11 Posted August 11 I posted this the other day, but it disappeared some how. Got in a wheel set for my Ring Brothers Javelin, which I will modify for correct backspacing. Also, who doesn't need a Whipple charged LS! 3

After adding it to my watch list the seller immediately offered a reduction on their price. It’s opened but complete. Now to find it's sister kit, The Dog Catcher..that won't be as easy of a task and not as cheap either..🫤 Don’t see these much anymore, Mike good find.. 2
Exotics_Builder Posted August 11 Posted August 11 At yesterday's club meeting, a past participant showed up with a collection he acquired in the late 90's. The way he got them was the original owner had taken them out of the boxes, cut the parts from the trees and put them in Zip-Loc bags. Downside is that you have no idea if all there just hoping it is. Upside, he was giving them away FREE. Just wanted to clear out some space. Anyway, I chose these three. I'll eventually inventory them but may not build them. Just thought these were the most interesting to me. 7
bamadon Posted August 11 Posted August 11 I was in Hobby Lobby Saturday and it was 40% off so I picked up the Revell 1937 Ford Pickup. 4

Well, if you want to sell trade that Volvo, you know where I am! 2 1
iamsuperdan Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Yesterday evening, I found one of my grail kits on EBay for a price way less than it normally is. Shipping says it should be here in a week or two. I'm stoked. Will post pics upon arrival. 4

FoMoCo66 Posted August 11 Posted August 11 (edited) Got my first promo in the most unexpected place ever, the Iowa State Fair. A pretty beat up 63 thunderbird, definitely some kids toy (adds character they tell me). The people had it listed for $40, no way is it worth that in this state. Told them they had it marked as a 65 and it was a 63, mentioned the broken a pillars, and the worn off chrome. All that got me this beaut for $20, not bad. Edited August 11 by FoMoCo66 Forgot photos 9

Keef Posted August 12 Posted August 12 Went by a local Walmart today on my way home to pick up some stuff for my wife. Cruised down the Hot Wheels aisle(don’t judge me 😂) and on an end cap hidden in the back corner of the toy section was a clearance rack with these n it for $15 each. So yeah they came home with me 😂🤣 7

My wife says that is one of her dream cars alongside a 77 Monte Carlo. Already built her a model of the Monte. 1
Donny Posted August 12 Posted August 12 (edited) Nothing exciting from me guys, but just happened to notice this Ford Shelby GT-H when passing a games shop, and thought, "yeah that's a great ride", and will good on my shelf when it's built. Right now it's in my stash hiding from my wife Don Edited August 12 by Donny 5

I was also at the press unveiling and first track test of the Volvo Estate at Silverstone, as a track/spectator marshal! It was funny as they had a large fluffy doll of a white sheepdog in the back! 2
Keef Posted August 12 Posted August 12 All I’ll say is I was left unsupervised and Walmart had them on clearance 😳 6
