Welcome to my Hot Wheels and Diecast Site! The objective here is to show my site for my reference as well as for others to enjoy and then to also provide a Hot Wheel's diecast reference on various aspects about Hot Wheels such as history, wheel variations, special editions, etc.... A lot of this is from my own research, while other info is compiled from various other sources into an all inclusive reference site. My collection is always growing. I do not try and collect one of everything, so my collection does not grow everyday or necessarily every week. Just my Hot Wheels 1/64 scale number at only about 1,300. Since I collect other makes and size of both Ferrari's and Camaro's, they would probably add another 300-400 cars to my entire collection. I believe in collecting what you like. Quality is always better than quantity. So go ahead and feel free to browse through the menu system above to see my database of current cars, pictures of some of my favorite Hot Wheels to some of the history of Hot Wheels and those who produce them and then some miscellaneous information about castings such as wheel types. If you have any ideas or questions for or about my site, please feel free to email me. Thanks and enjoy and come back again!
So what do I collect, well....
Ferrari's (all castings), Camaro's (all castings except for a few of the 80's and 90's model castings), Corvette's (all castings except for some of the 80's and 90's model castings), All Funny Cars, Cobra's, Cuda's, Jaguar's, VW Bugs and Baja Bugs, Unimogs, Tow and Ramp trucks, Hiway Haulers, Hydroplanes, Heavy Weights (except for the s'cool bus), Gran Toros Ferrari cars and a few misc. others, select Redlines, and then a few other odds and ends (mostly older blackwall cars like the Bubble Gunner and Rock Buster). I also collect other diecast as well. I collect all Johnny Lightning Camaro's, just about any good looking Ferrari castings such as Playart and ModelBox and Bang to name a few, and Jada Camaro's. Most of my collection is 1/64 scale, although I have a number of Ferrari's in 1/43 scale. The 1/43 scale was popular in Europe along with 1/50 scale. The largest scale of diecast cars I collect is 1/24 scale and that has been limited to just various Camaro's from Jada , Ertl, and Maisto. Never thought I would go that large because of the amount of room they take up but they sure do look good if done up right.
UPDATE:
HOT WHEELS CORVETTE COLLECTION MAY BE AVAILABLE!!!!
Am thinking of getting rid of my Hot Wheels Corvette collection. I have already gotten rid of one of the holy grails in a trade. I haven't listed them really anywhere other than casually putting out some feelers and whatnot. Is kind of tough as there are some really cool cars in this set. Some pretty rare ones too! They include various Corvette castings from old to new. Redlines, Treasure Hunts, convention cars, etc... Total there are about 225 cars. If you think you might be interested or know somebody who is, then we should talk. Would prefer to sell them all as a group or at least two-thirds of them rather than one or two at a time. Will consider partial trade(s) in the deal as well.
NEED MORE FERRARI'S!!!!
I would like to really get my hands on the HW Convention Ferrari's! There were 2 different castings with one being the Ferrari 308 and the other a F40. If you by chance have anything that you can add, please get in touch with me and we can discuss trade or buy.
Have you all seen the awesome Ferrari Racer series that Mattel has been producing? Not all have been released in the states, but in total so far, there are 72, not including some variations. Awesome detail, wheels, paint, etc... This series is for more than the Ferrari enthusiasts, but all collectors. I do have some pics of them in the gallery section of the site, so check them out. If you have any of these and want to get rid of some, I would be interested in ones I do not have. I also understand that there are some that are exclusive to Europe and I am in need of those as well.
Check out the new Galleries!!!!
