Re: Die-cast 67-72
[QUOTE=FRENCHBLUE72;2829093]Thanks tim thats gonna look good on my shelf^^^^^^^^^^^^ still cant believe I paid that much for a hot wheels,but I just could not let you have it...................
Man,I felt like a terd for a minute.My intentions were to win it,not drive the winner`s price up,of course.You believe me,right?That Custom Fleetsider is one of the original Redlines...original Hotwheels,period.Under $50 is cheap in that condition.It says something about the 67-72 trucks that they made a customized version back then when they were new.Real new,like they hadn`t even come out with the new blunt hood yet.Like I said,these trucks have been a favorite since their debute.I remember being facinated with the artwork on the AMT model kit. Maybe next time The other one was called the "Sky Show" and they are way pricey for sure.I`drather have this one.A little more down to earth you might say. I just looked at Ebay models last night.How`d I miss those?I think I`ve fond some before that weren`t picked up on my search.I go to Models//Automotive//either Trucks or Vintage//then refine it with Chevy Trucks.I think when I go with just Chevy it turns up more.I guess I`ve missed some good ones from being too lazy to sift through "all" the Chevy listings.I do collect El Camino kits,too.I usually find them in Vintage under truck.I bet I`ve missed alot that way though.

Re: Die-cast 67-72

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Andy,those turned out nice.The red one looks like a concept of your truck`s paint job.I`d really like to add at least one to my collection.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Wow!I`m using that search.I`m sure I can end up with one.
I found it on Ebay: Another custom job on a`62...blackwall Real Riders.It`s riveted back together,so I`ll give it a paint job.Although I`m torn.I kinda like having them altered other than paint.So,they appear as they could be a version by Hot Wheels.I`d like to have this guy`s diarama... What do you guys think?Paint,most likely stock-like,the way I like`em real?Or,leave paint and have a variation of the same truck.I could have a pro-street,4wd,and a custom. Here are my others: Or,imagine a color like this with the Real Riders.I`d use a different original color.Like red w/ white top.Definately more one-off this way.And suttle,the way I like it:

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Ok I think I may have finally collected all the blazers that are out in die cast for the hotwheels size.. I am missing still the john deere blazer with the green top and the matchbox 69 blazer. Anyone have any ideas as to if there are more out there that are not at a stupid price?

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Hey WES. Did you see that Marks-Collectibles10 on eBay is no longer a registered user? This is the guy we bought the JL Blazers from and had problems with.
Bump for your post also. Quote:

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Not all White Lightnings have white tires. Sometimes it just has a white interior and/or white base. There's a whole list of different options, which I can't remember right now.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Good looking collection. What did you do with the extra set of red von dutch rims? Those would look good on either one of the actual high profile trucks.
If I run across two on my quest, I will let you know.

Re: Die-cast 67-72

Re: Die-cast 67-72
The top and bottom on the left are original High Profiles. I bought several extras of the High Profiles, cut them open on the back side; swapped wheels/chassis and put them back in. I'm going to try my hand at modifying the extras. Right now I'm working on making a duelie, using the rear fenders from a Hot Wheels custom 69. I cut the fenders off with a dremel tool. Haven't figured out how to attach them though. Maybe some JB Weld?
I'm also working on some extended cab Hot Wheels custom 69s. Not having much luck with those though. Last edited by 90\87Formula; 08-06-2008 at 11:39 PM. |
