Found this gem at Freddie's. I check every time I go there for something new. It was the only one they got and I snagged it. Haven't seen another since.
It ran like crap out of the package so I wheel swapped it and did some tire clearance work, widened the front axle and it rips. "Dyno" Don Nicholson was a pioneer of chassis dynos and ran a few different race cars and Hot Wheels absolutely knocked this Impala out of the park. It even has little rivets around the windows.
What's this? It looks like I may have a small obsession regarding station wagons. I came across this 64 Chevy nova panel wagon while doing some perusing on eBay. Well I had to have it. These feelings, most likely come from the many hours spent somewhere in the back of a station wagon being driven by the old man. I know he had a Chevy Bel-Aire wagon in the late'50s and then several other Chevy model wagons in the early '60s. that's what you do if you're active Air Force with five kids.
I enjoy hunting down some of the older more obscure castings. Call me crazy because here's today's delivery Austin Healy that is metal metal, 41 Willys Dragster, fat fender 40 that is also metal metal,A Balistix, And of course, a grand Corvette.
I managed to snag these 4 premiums on eBay for 18 dollars.

Hmmmm looks like more new arrivals, let's all not mention this to Mrs. Abnormal. I always did have a soft spot for a Porsche 914.
Found this in an old tool box yesterday. She is a heavyweight and she needs a wheel swap. Red one came off the pegs a couple months ago.
My first ever STH!!!
