    Would there be any interest in either a 1/24 or 1/32 scale 1974 Ford Pinto. :laugh: :laugh: I know where I can get a few for about $8.00 Cdn.

    You guys might also try your local independent drug store.:TU:

    Joe,

    Here is some of the stuff I found per our conversation. I'll find some of those tow riggs evantually. I know when I was in Tenn the Target on Gallatin Road in Goodletsville had quite a few of them Maybe there is someone close to there. It's right out of Nashville. Anyway I found allot of them there. I have been also running across allot of the Blue GS's. I'll be putting a few of these up for sale. Don't worry Joe I'm putting some in the destination Jersey bag.

    I went to 6 stores looking for tow trucks today not much luck.

    Here are some more. I found these when on vacation with the family. There were allot of these. I was going to buy every Buick one they had but my wife was getting tire of my antics of just doing bathroom stops and gas stops when I seen a Walmart or Target and even K-mart signs on the expressway. There was a bigger selection of die cast cars down south. It was getting out of control for me.

    South Florida is no better. I have not seen the dark blue, I've only found one green, and a couple orange so far.

    I'll keep looking, and if I come up with any extras I'll let you know Joe! Happy Holidays!

    I've got to stay out of the stores, there are to many cool die cast cars out to buy right now.

    My 7 year old son and I have a battle every time we hit the toy section, he wants trains and I want cars:pp

    First was the white then yellow (or vice verse) then Red.
    Then blue, green and orange.

    The dark blue was part of the blue release, I guess they ran out of one color and subbed another.

    I must have had 20 red ones... I only have 2 left as I gave them to all the little kids I know and told them it was like my car... wish I had to keep a few more red ones.

    Sorry Joe, I should have been more specific. I still only have one green and none of the dark blue. I have plenty of orange, yellow, white, the lighter blue, and red. If you need some red ones PM me with with your address.
