Check out my Collection (Partial)

I am new to this board and I wanted to get some pics up so people could check them out. This is only part of my collection because I moved to a new apartment a few months ago and I haven't been able to put my shelves up yet so they are still boxed up. There is one model in my collection that I am currently madifying. It is a 1948 Ford Convertable. I am adding wheels and interior from a Chevy SSR concept and and engine from a 1966 Pro Street Nova with custom peuter intake and carbs. Please feel frre to ask any questions about any of the models.

The '57 chevy is a 1:24 scale Danbury Mint model. Danbury Mint is a well known company that makes all sorts of collectables. This model is highly detailed. It costed me around $120. They also produce a '55 Chevy pro street that is 1:16 scale. The cost of that one is $199. I ordered that one also but sent it back because I was getting a new apartment and couldn't afford the model at the time.

The 360 Modena is a Burago.

That kind of sucks that it's gonna cost me at least ~$130 if I want to get one. :eek:

There is one on Ebay right now for over $150.

It just looks too cool to pass up though...

You can order it direclty through Danbury Mint for $113 with stretch payments. I bought that model with soemthing like 4 payments of $28. (I might be wrong) If you read "Scale Auto" magazime Danbury Mint has an advertisement with the yellow '57 on top. They alos have other muscle/custom cars in the ad.

No offense, but I think you guys are crazy for spending over $100 on a die-cast car. I collect them, but I dont spend over $50, unless it is a special edition or something.

I'm pretty cheap. I buy almost everything on ebay for less than twenty bucks. Just got an Jag XJ220 for $5.50. You just have to search for the people who forget to put 1:18 or 1/18 on the name. Often they never get bid on. :smoka:
