What cars have you found lately?
Found this one today with an error,probably not even worth opening as wheel axle buckled
- I got a New Roger Dodger like that with a back tire askew, opened it and with a little persuasion it popped out. — Bent_Rod_Racing
- I already had same casting but thought this looked different — RalphsRacers
- I’d rather have a rolling car than a collectible — alva1370
- I agree,I've already got it just thought I'd have it as an extra — RalphsRacers
Racebait 308. Found this one in a box of cars I won on eBay. Still going through the rest, but I thought it was cool I found something from '83 with real riders.
Picked up a Classic Chevy Citation X-11. I see Porsches ever day but tell me when was the last time you saw an X-11 cruise down the Avenue? What do you mean you don't see them, "because they've all been turned into paperclips and soda cans?"
ok, maybe. But still happy to add this to the collection!
- I like random 80s and 90s cars like that! — ManiacMotorsports
- Yep that’s a classic you need to soup that baby up for racing give it a crappy paint job and send it out. Next, you should keep a lookout for a AMC gremlin.. — AbbyNormal
I needed four more identical cars for another round of some testing and was surprised to come across a premium Chevelle wagon. And then got a couple of Gordon Murray's. That will be heading to either France or Norway.
- Cool wagon! — ManiacMotorsports
- Yes it is totally cool and it’s gonna make a great dragster — AbbyNormal
- The wheels are tucked though — ManiacMotorsports
- That’s not really a big deal as I go on the inside of fender well and give it a good grinding with a Dremel tool. Then when I react this thing to get the real writers off of it or make sure the new axle is not too sloppy. — AbbyNormal
The local grocery store just put up an end cap filled with this series... Cool!
The price is $2 a car... not cool...
They have a coupon... Cool!
The coupon is only fifty cents... not cool...
Needed this one for Hairy Man race so I bought it.
- Nice - I got a deal for 2 on eBay — AbbyNormal
- Awesome, love those rally cars! — Sunshine_City_Garage
- I paid $2 for mine, not cool. — alva1370
- Well with shipping, etc. my two came to nine dollars. So that’s $4.50 each and that would be the convenience charge. — AbbyNormal
- Exactly... That shipping charge is the charge I have to pay because I don't have giant piles of cars or places that carry them nearby. — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
- lol. These are last spring's cars. They have a new series this year — ManiacMotorsports
- Hahahaha! Sweet! Those have cool Tires, Gotta keep an Eye out for them. — Bent_Rod_Racing
- I guess you never know what cases the distributor has kicking around! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
Rest of the eBay haul. Had this group as a kid.
Today's haul.
A friend found this for me at a yard sale.
- adult assy required? anyone here know an adult??? — dr_dodge
- very cool! — dr_dodge
- Well, I'm not one, so I guess I'll need help to put the stickers on! — ManiacMotorsports
- Sweet! — Bent_Rod_Racing
- lol, don't stick it to your eye,....or should eye.... — dr_dodge
Went antiquing with the wife today. One of the vendors I usually pick stuff up from is hanging it up, their two booths were marked 50% off everything. These two tractor/trailers were $6 total. Once I get some airbrush experience I'm gonna see about making a Bad Wool Racing Team Transport.
These were $22.50.
These were $0.50/each.
This guy is already drilled apart, body soaking in Citristrip and chassis being dechromed in Super Clean.
- In the $0.50 lot, what’s the black one front left? — Ruckus_Racing
- Ruckus - That is a 40 Somethin'. One of my favorite castings. — BadWoolRacing
- Black/white under the Custom Otto looks interesting. — alva1370
- Great idea for the big rigs. — alva1370
- Alva - That is a Turbolence. A Metal/Metal casting with a long wheelbase and low profile. I hope I can pull off the team transport dream, been thinking about that for a while after seeing others done by racers. — BadWoolRacing
10 Cars Today, & One of Them is a Ford Supervan, Race in Peace, McCylde...
I've been way too busy and have many cars to share. But I have been seeing the classic Batmobile from the TV series on many racks that I visit. I've been mainly picking them up here and there for gifts to hand out because they're kind of classic and cool. Well, I just pulled one out of the package and ran it down the track and while it wasn't the fastest, it was very stable as it negotiated the various curves and such.
I may keep a couple now. See how they fair once they're prepped a bit, but I'll be certainly handing the rest out.
