Hot Wheels Exchange! Hoorah!

This is my first set of Hot Wheels Exchange offerings.

This is a BMW 850i from 1990. It's blue.

Here's a Cadillac Cien from 2002. It is silver.

This is the back end of a (purple) Porsche 911 GT1-98 from 1999. It's still purple.

This is its purple side end.

All I know about this one is that it's from 1988, it is blue and it has flames on it. The internet does not have much more info. Can't find it on the Wiki, can't find it on die cast replica collectors' sites, and it has no name on the bottom. It is blue and has a big wing. Some don't have this wing. This one has the big wing.

This is a Saab 9000 Turbo. It's my favorite die-cast, but if there's something really cool I might part with it. Probably not. Just wanted to show off. It's white and came standard with Goodyear Eagles.

All are open for trades. If it's a good deal for me and a good deal for you, let's make a deal, and everyone wins in that deal! Deal!

Interested in the GT1 and the M1. Whatcha lookin for? If you look back in my posts, I have a post with a listing of cars I have to trade.

I just looked at the thing I called an M1, and it's actually an 850i or something like that.

That Saab is part of a special line of Matchbox cars. I have a beetle and something else with the goodyear tires as well. Quite cool!

And the BMW is definitely up for trade, and I'll take a look at your stuff. The Porsche might be Frosted's (who else would already have asked), but if he passes we can trade there too.

Yeah, my mom got it for me for my 16th birthday because I asked for a Saab 900 SPG (in jest). She thought that it was the same car and she put it in the driveway and walked me out with my eyes closed. Did the same with an old Mustang Hot Wheels the next year.

Alright, I checked out your post and my five top picks are (in descending order): one of the GT2s, the 2000GT, the 8C, the DeLorean and then the Celica. Any of those still around/trade fodder?

Looks like SteyrTMP beat me. Man that guy is fast! That's a very cool 8 series. I dig older casts of production vehicles, such as that one. Let me know if you have anything else in that vein!

saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars > hethoughtofcars
04/03/2014 at 02:05

If we don't come to an agreement I'll alert you. I need to list my others, but I think I have an old Mercedes 380SEL somewhere. I'll get another listing up soonish.

I've gotten a red 8 series as well if yer interested.

SteyrTMP > saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars
04/03/2014 at 02:12

Ok. I'm always looking for more 911 GT1's, I just got two from someone... I thought it was Frosted I got them from in the beginning... Hrmm.

Once I have more than one, I'd like to have someone paint them.

Frosted > saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars
04/03/2014 at 02:14

That's an awesome thing to do, your mom sounds coo.

BTW here's a link to a post I made that links to both of my latest HWEP posts. http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/big-hwep-oppor…

All are still here. I haven't had any bites yet. Email me once you figure out about the GT1. MaclarenII at Juno dot com.

saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars > Frosted
04/03/2014 at 02:17

Are you interested in that GT1? If so, I'd be interested in the Mercedes 300TD. My email is rt (dot) smith (at) gmail.com (I think you can figure that out)

Frosted > saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars
04/03/2014 at 02:20

Sadly the 300TD isn't for trades, it's one of my favorites from back in the day. I found it covered in black sharpie and spent a good two hours cleaning it up. Anything else interest you there? If not, I have many more posts I can link you to...

hethoughtofcars > Frosted
04/03/2014 at 02:21

Well of course I'm interested. You know how I love the European cars. How old is it?

Frosted > hethoughtofcars
04/03/2014 at 02:22

It's old and not in perfect shape and has a silly livery.

Kinja'd!!!

It's also a Matchbox, not a Hot Wheels, dunno if that would bother you.

Frosted > SteyrTMP
04/03/2014 at 02:27

Yup I sent you my orange one, but I'd love to have the purple on in my collection (trying to get a full set of Le Mans cars currently, have several LMP prototypes and GT1 cars, including a MB CLK GTR LM.)

SteyrTMP > Frosted
04/03/2014 at 02:36

Nice. Wish they'd make 'em all... 962, 956, 787, Speed 8...

04/03/2014 at 03:00

The S7, the Challenger Daytona and the Enzo are all enticing. I don't blame you one tiny bit for wanting to hold onto that Merc: it's awesome.

Frosted > saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars
04/03/2014 at 03:18

Interested in the 850 and the Cien if they aren't spoken for...

The 850i has two interested parties already, but I'd trade the Cien for that F50.

Right?! I already told this story once in the comments here, but this was my 16th birthday present. I told my parents I wanted a Saab 900 SPG, and they, not being car fans, got me a die-cast 9000 Turbo instead. My mom walked me out to the driveway with her hands over my eyes. She did the same on my 17th, but with a '69 Mustang. Die-cast as well... :(

d'awww, awesome still :]

We all had to buy our own jalopies growing up in my house. My sister busted ass to buy a 1991 Ford Probe. My brother saved up forever to get an old 1995 T-100 work truck that was beat to hell. My first car was actually free, but it was at a junk yard sitting for 3 years. If I got it running, I got the title was the plan. I got it going and drove that spider and roach infested 1986 535i home :]

My little sister was the lucky one when I bought her a clean 2001 Mercedes-Benz E320. Fast forward to last month and THIS happened.

That is rough . I'm currently saving up for either an NA Miata or a classic generation 900 Turbo. My friend/acquaintance just bought a lemon of a Thunderbird Landau Special as his first car. He went from saying "the engine runs strong, the body is straight, and there's only one rust hole" to "the engine runs, the power steering pump is shot, but the rest of the steering system is perfect, and there's some body rust" to "the engine turns over, the steering system is a little shoddy, and there is no OEM paint, only rust and heavily oxidized primer" in a week's worth of explanation. He spent more money on cheap aftermarket rims than on the entire car. I'm still a little jealous, to be honest...

If you want a purple GT1, I might be persuaded to part with the duplicate I just found.

SteyrTMP > saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars
04/08/2014 at 03:31

Which GT1 is it, and if it's the 98 (my lesser favorite), is it a Speed Machine, or regular Hot Wheels/Matchbox? Whatcha wanna trade for?

saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars > SteyrTMP
04/08/2014 at 10:16

The GT1-98. It's a Hot Wheels, identical to the one in this posting.

SteyrTMP > saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars
04/08/2014 at 12:36

Ok. What do you want for it? If you decide soon, I may get to send it out today.

That blue MINI is looking good to me.

SteyrTMP > saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars
04/08/2014 at 18:59

that's not for trade. The first pictures were just showing carsshe had. If I see more of them, I'll probably add it to the bulging Wal-Mart bag of trade cars.

saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars > SteyrTMP
04/08/2014 at 19:04

Ahh, shucks. Do you have a post of tradeable ones?

SteyrTMP > saabstory | fixes bikes, breaks cars
04/08/2014 at 19:42

Yeah, just look back on my posts, the same one has trade cars, I think, but I know I posted three trade posts.
