...because growing up can be boring! Hot Wheels is releasing the classic Firebird again. As I know some of you really like this car and even have a history with it, I thought I'd pass this along...

I never want to grow up. If any of you guys have inside information to getting these models made or designed I really want a Sport 350 model made in any brand or what ever I havent found one yet and I know they would sell good :yes:

Well, what I would do is get one of the new release Esprits (it is yellow with a black wing)... tape up the windows, sand it back a bit, and spray it grey/silver with your airbrush. You can decal the 350 markings...

This is only going to fuel the fire of this car! I'm certain that this will be next rediculously expensive muscle car. Especially the "Bandit" look a likes.

Missed this post, that Firebird looks cool.

This was my favourite Hot Wheels as a kid. The Dixie Challenger :).

It's a 1970 challenger and made by Hotwheels in 1981. It came with the loop the loop track. Had years of fun :).

Heck, that thing itself is a classic. Any idea what it would go for? (Not to say you should sell it)

My barbie doll was a Cindy and I had a thing for playing with farm animals/horses :ohmy: Cars came later when Dad would demand I held the socket on a nut while he was on the other side wrenching on what ever car he was working on. And thats where it starts!

At least 50p, so 90 cents.

Went to a car boot sale this weekend (they're quite popular in the uk) and went crazy buying toy cars for my kids (but really for me). Got loads including an original 1969 Matchbox Lotus Europa for 20p, Vauxhall Guildsman, Lincoln Continental 1962 and Mazda RX500.

My favourite Matchbox was a 1971 Hairy Hustler, which I remember nicking in 1976!
