New To My Collection

[CorvetteConti]

You guys have no idea how long I have been looking for this car. Very limited. Funny, I have asked my well known diecast guys and they have never seen this car. Last time I saw one was 2 years ago...this time I bought it! The Dale Earnhardt Platinum Edition 1:18th C5-R......hope you like....

If you ever have any duplicates that you want to sell, give me a ring. Love your collection!

I have the same model and I'm afraid to remove it from the box.

I didn't realize this car was 2 years old.

Did you by chance pick up the 24K plated model as well, it doesn't look as good as the platinum, but I you can't have one without the other.

Thanks for replying to the PM.

[CorvetteConti]

Yes Hummpdady I have it too in the 1:18th version...if you have the Platinum car....it sells for $400-$600......hang on to it & enjoy!

There is two plat. selling on ebay right now item # 3108277894 , I guess I can only copy one item at a time, that's nice car, and the thing is; hope yu like

[CorvetteConti]

wish I got mine at that price...shi*!!!!!

[hummpdady]

Now thats a very low price for that model, I think it will sell but for a couple of hundred more, if not I am going to feel like I got ripped.

[hummpdady]

Does anyone have an idea of where I can pick up the Texas C5R, I can't find them anywhere Thats the last one for me and I will be done until they release the new models.

I just wish they stopped making diecast models, this stopped being a hobby long time ago.

[CorvetteConti]

I know....everytime they come out with a new one I start blowing more money...gotta have it, gotta have it! It's crazy...BUT, a Hell of a lot of fun too!
The Texas Car...is that the one with the yellow/white and black in it?.......Don't recall the diecast on that....sorry

I am just starting to get into the scale model collectable cars. I have only 2 problems, where to put them and how do you buy more w/o getting into trouble with the wife? Bill

[CorvetteConti]

Here's the case I put the new one in....I even have the Dale #3 Brookfield Corvette....keep that locked up,(at home) afraid some goof is going to steal it. Yep, I had some freak steal two of my Franklin Mints a year ago....I have a camera in the office now.....

[70boss302]

Now that is looking good bro! Bill

[hummpdady]

CC,

Yep thats the one, all yellow with the black and white over the hood flowing similar to a flag. That case look superb, is that a giovanni? I love when you guys post pics of your collection, it gives me some great ideas. Keep up the great work.

70Boss,

These models will transform an ordinary cabinet into something special, I picked up three encased cabinets with glass doors from Sam's they were on sell at the time, I need to put them together sometime, just been to lazy to do so. They look plain as hell, but I'm sure the addition of some models will make them look that much better.

As for the wifey, your on your own there buddy
