Re: Die-cast 67-72
`72 had a red and a blue,from what I`m told.I have a red `69,not sure what other years it could be.I just bid and won a vintage `65 El Camino kit.I`ve been saying I`ll sell all but my GM trucks.El Caminos are trucks,right?

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I just won this and have some more I'm waiting on. My wife is going to kill me. Oh well I guess if she does I'll have a bunch of models for my son.
Yes El Camino are trucks as far as I'm concerned. These things are getting up there in price. I found a boondocker Blazer for $89.00

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Thunderbolt!!!I built that kit back when it came out in the early`80s.I painted it to match my real Blazer I had.I saw those 2 on Ebay.That Thunderbolt is a complete Blazer kit(like Boondocker,etc.) plus the monster wheels/tires/axles.It even has the Trail 90,or whatever it is.I still have the box,but I gave the Blazer to one of my older son`s friends because he showed some interest in models.
The old truck kits are bringing good money.But,I see kit dealers sell them alot more than I see on Ebay.They`re all in the $100 range.The most I`ve paid on Ebay was around $75 with shipping.I got some in the $20-30 range.I just paid $25 for that `65 Elky. Correction:The Boondocker doesn`t come with the mini cycle.But,Thunderbolt and Bushwacker (it`s a Jimmy!) do.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
That`s a cool kit.Here`s that El Camino kit.The next issue had a cool drag version on the box.The was a version from the 67-72 era that was a construction company vehicle from the same company as a Blazer kit.I have that Blazer kit on that shelf.It`s called "Crew Chief"...

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I'm amazed at what everyone has. It's funny how people collect things and do it for year's thinking that know one else even thinks about it then BOOM everybody has it!!!

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Comforting,isn`t it? I started buying toy stuff that I thought was pretty cool and kinda kept it to myself and only maintained a casual interest.I hung onto some things from childhood.I have all my Matchboxes...quite a few.I`ve always been into antiques and started seeing old toys more.In the early`80s I saw a `56 Tonka pickup and thought it was cool and it made me realize how they don`t make toys like they used to...a serious lack of plastic.That thing has more steel in it than some cars!Well,maybe I exaggerated.I paid $25 and felt kinda silly,but I don`t care.Then,my wife brought another Tonka home,maybe a year later.I started looking for them and they started working their way into swap meets.It progressed to toy shows,subscription to "The Toy Box" (monthly classified),and getting to know collectors around the country.Once I realized other guys were buying these up it got sick.I have around 200 pieces now!!!I had to stop awhile back.Man,they got expensive.
Once I got into collecting those I got onto all kinds of other stuff,big and small.My kits were bought to build,but never had the time.It started when I was layed up,but once back on my feet they sat and sat and became older issues.Now,I buy older GM truck kits.But,seeing the original car kits is tempting me.I keep telling myself,"no,just trucks".I have to draw the line somewhere.I`m thinking to start selling my car kits.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I have some of my orignal Hotwheels I played with as a kid too! I got them when my Mom & Dad moved out of there house to Fla. years ago. I also got some stuff of my grandeparents also. No one else in the family wanted it at the time and we had just bought our house so we needed anything we could get. I just wish I wouldn't have blown up all those Promo's of my dad's when he worked for Chevorlet. Man some of those would be worth some money now.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Just picked up this at Wal-Mart today. I didn't look through the thread to see if it had been posted already. First time I have seen it. They had lots of the other cars in the series, but only one of these.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Cool!Yeah,it`s been discussed but that doesn`t mean you can`t talk about it or show it off.Your luck is better than mine.I have yet to find one.I like that one best out of the`67s,IMO.The paint jobs they are doing make the trucks look bowed up in the middle to my eye.They don`t really follow the truck`s true lines.I`d like to see one w/o stripes down the side.

I got my Boondocker kit off ebay too. I paid less than $20 for it because the guy had it listed incorrectly as a mid 70's. I used to love the plastic models. I 'd build them and then blow them up. Remember those kits with the little bodies and huge engines. Did they ever build a USA-1 monster truck in kit or diecast using the pre 72 body it started with? It seems like I've seen a kit, but can never find one when I search.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Good site.On Ebay there are two old truck kits under "Vintage" then "Chevy" to refine.The AMT 69 or 70 Blazer kit with offroad racer with cut down windshield on box and the MPC Chevy Fleetside.That`s the one with the white NHRA Official pickup on the cover.
Paul,I`d love to find that "Bandit" kit.It`s a reissue that I never see.Forgot about it to tell the truth. Mike,thanks for the offer.I`m just not that excited about this`67 truck at this point.I guess if I saw one on the pegs I`d buy it.I`d prolly customize it,though.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Nice!They are approx. 1/16 scale,like Tonkas.Could you post the company`s contact info that`s on the box?I want to get more info and to see if they are still producing them or not.With what the dies cost,I imagine there will be more.Unless they`re out of business.You don`t know if these are recent or not,do you?
