Some of you may have seen that I sent a teal (teal!) BMW M1 to him last week that he's going to repaint into something awesome. In return I received this sweet '64 Plymouth Belvedere in classic Petty livery with black wheels (I say they're steelies). After the jump are my other recent additions, all available for the right trade.

I live in NYC, where for some reason the few big box stores within reach have really shitty Hot Wheels selections. So I do a lot of eBay shopping to satisfy my needs for limited edition castings or ones from the 90s. Without further ado!

Up first is this beautiful Ferrari 308 GTS.

Jaguar XJ40 (have to admit, there's a litle overspray from the headlights on the front bumper)

Mercedes 380SEL

Chevelle SS Wagon

Nissan Skyline H/T 2000GT-X

Lincoln Continental

Honda Civic

K5 Blazer

??? (This one came from my parent's attic)

Why they go with 308?

Same goes with my 500SL.

Is hot wheels having difficulities to source a 560SEL and 600SL back then?

Yeah, not my favorite. But I'm a sucker for stock-looking diecasts.

Yeah, they limited vintage is really nice.
And because it's vintage, it's only consist of cars from before 1990's, and i like it!

this car is stunning. I'd bust out the shaky hands and tiny paint brushes to get a little more detail in this grill, can't beleive its all just blue

That lincoln is sweet. The one they made this year is ridiculous. I want a nice clean one like that.
