Re: Die -cast cars
A few more pieces recently added to the collection...
The Shelby 1:64s in chrome are both 1/1,000 pieces given out at the SEMA show. The Aston Martin DBR9 in Gulf Racing colors ran at LeMans.

Re: Die -cast cars
If anyone here collects 1:64 diecast from mid 1990's -2000 I have about 1,000 to sell at a very reasonable price. Racing Champions mostly, trucks, sprint cars, lots of others. My brother-in-law had amassed a huge collection before his passing. Email me if you want details.

Re: Die -cast cars
Did you have them signed or did they come that way?

Re: Die -cast cars
Both were sent to me signed from Shelbys Childrens Foundation. I bought the red GT500 Super Snake on eBay, which is the only place you could get it at the time. It has been discontinued right after I got mine, and long before the scheduled run of 427 units had been sold, as you can see mine is #108. The 427 Cobra Super Snake was sent to me by them when another piece I had sent them was damaged and they returned my item (signed), slightly damaged in no way due to their fault, but they did contact me ahead of time and sent the Cobra as a way to help with the pain of my treasured poster being wrinkled by the shipper. Both have CSCF certificates of authenticity.
I do have a one-sheet ad that Carroll signed for me in person, but naturally there is no cert. or anything other than my word that he did it. In addition, I have two books signed by him, a photo I took in Dearborn of one of his hats signed by him (and Richard Petty, his black hat is also in the photo), and a different Daytona Coupe poster signed by him.

LOL ! ! I don't think I have ever been called an "uber-collector" before Thanks for your kind words on my collection. I took a look at the link above and had to laugh. The collection pictured belongs to a good friend of mine here in Wisconsin. It's such a small world these days. Pat's collection is amazing. The rare and unusual items he has picked up over the years is something to see. And to top it all off, he is in the process of building a ground pounding '65 Mustang fastback and he is also restoring his '68 Shelby GT500 KR fastback. Take care and have a great week all !

Re: Die -cast cars
Hi All,
I took some time today and posted a bunch of new pictures of my Mustang collection on .... http://www.garageforums.com/forums/s...hp?t=85&page=8 The new pictures are a few posts down on this page. If you haven't seen the post before, you might want to take a look from the beginning. I have a Mustang toy collection that is now over 4000+ items. Let me know what you think of it. Thanks. Take care all and have a great day. Scott |

Re: Die -cast cars
Unflipping believable. Very,very nice. I think I would call it more of a museum than just a collection. Congrats.

Re: Die -cast cars
I was thinking the same thing. That's more of a collection worthy of a toy museum than anything else. You could charge people to view that collection! That's very impressive. How many years has that collection been growing and what was the "first" item?

Re: Die -cast cars
Glad to see you posting up, Scott. As you can see there are a lot of fans of your collection here. I wasn't aware you were already a member of the Registry, but obviously we haven't heard much from you in a while. Now get to posting, you've got a lot of catching up to do!
(do take the time to chack out earlier posts in the thread, there's a lot to see, not all of them Mustangs)

Re: Die -cast cars
That is truly a master collection you have assembled. Do you ever tell people you have over 4000 cars parked in you garage?

Re: Die -cast cars
Auto Art did the '03 TR 1:18 diecast. I don't know if any of the regular diecast stores online have them, but they show up pretty regularly on eBay. The AB one is the hard one to find and bring strong money, the TR (as were all of them) were in the $60 range when new. Seconary price aare similar if not a little lower for most colors other than the AB.
