- Is that orange car The Judge model? I have an old one like that. — redlinederby
- yup, two of 'em...i'll tear out the engines and pass the rest on to holeshot. — model40fan
Big is one of the original Thunder Roller's. I have a recolor still carded, but I think one will be restored/customized and put on the auction block.
This weekend included my Birthday on Friday so I stretched out the celebration from Thursday evening to Saturday afternoon and had a pretty good Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightening and Racing Champions find.
1st things 1st though. On Thursday evening we went to the Twilight Tunes and one of my favorite bands High School Caesar was subbing for the evening! For the guitar lovers check out what he played for just one song.
Another fan of the band!
Mrs. Fox's selections for me on Friday. She finally found the Snoopy car while she was in Indiana last month.
Saturday morning we started out at the Denton Hot Rod gathering, before we headed to the Toy Show.
Adding an engine shot of the Plymouth...
- 26 / 27 Model T roadster SBC, track grill, 32 plymouth 3 window coupe, blown, ? make, small block. — model40fan
- I added a shot of the blower on the Plymouth — Milton-Fox
A few fillers to complete multi car purchases at the toy show.
The bulk of my purchases went to the loose Corvette display.
Found this one as a loose find with the JLs and HW above and on the next table a carded version for a buck less!
And a few more carded cars for the garagemahal.
This next trio represents a racer for the next Red Neck Derby races. (The lady who always wins races a green wildcat), another potential mail in racer parts car and the last going to a ROAK package for an RLD member.
This last car I picked up because I have always liked the livery. The seller said a friend of his from Japan sends these to him. They come off the top of a two pack of soda.
Hmmmm.... what is that '71 Dodge Demon with FTE's that I see in the background?
