Last week I asked the manager of my local Duane Reade if I could buy their display box once they were done with it. A couple days later he called me and told me I could have it! It’s been a blast stacking cars into this shelf the past few days.

I recently found this Veyron in my childhood box of toys and can’t figure out what makes these such coveted pieces.

This time it’s the #98 Jim Robbins Special, a 1969 Ford Torino Talladega raced by LeeRoy Yarbrough. I built this from the HW Flames Torino on the shelf these days.

The Ford Torino Talladega was a staple of NASCAR in 1968/1969 and 1971/1972. NASCAR’s aerowars began in 1968, with Dodge running the Charger 500 and Ford with the Torino Talldega and Mercury Cyclone II. The stakes were raised in 1969 when Dodge introduced the iconic Charger Daytona. Upset that Plymouth was not…

Inspired by Hodinkee’s “Bring a Loupe” series of what vintage watches are on the market, I’ve decided to do a new weekly series of posts highlighting diecast deals I find on eBay.

Somehow came across 3 RS6 Avants at CVS.

I adore the Porsche 917.

This little guy started life as an afterthought in an eBay lot of unloved diecasts. The no-name Hong Kong casting is crude, lacks detail, and was in bad shape. However, the shape was perfect.

I’ve been getting a lot of budget diecasts from the 70's and 80's. These are some of my favorite finds. I bought these all with the intention of restoring them, but a couple are too cool to tear down and rebuild.

It’s been a great week.

My wheel supply is running dry.

I love Lesney Matchbox cars. I love them a lot.

I came to work to find 3 packages on my desk. Beautiful!

This is a 1/43 Lola T70 from Minimodel OXA.

In 1/43 scale. Unfortunately I do not know the manufacturer. The diecast might be made of stronger stuff than the real one!
