Hotwheels '70 Camaro Funny Car 'Gangreen' from 2009 Drag Strip Demons Series

Hotwheels '70 Camaro Funny Car 'Gangreen' from 2009 Drag Strip Demons Series

P1010500

This is probably my favorite Camaro out of the few Camaros done for the Drag Strip Demons series. Paint is pearl green. Sits on Mags wrapped in Good Year real rider tires. Body lifts up to reveal cock-pit and motor.

This blog, a side blog and other castings I collect

Before I committed to starting this blog I thought about what I would want to show and tell about. I went back and forth over strickly blogging about diecast models of Camaros and Firebirds or a combination of different castings I collect. 
In the end I decided this specific blog will be about diecast Camaros and Firebirds. I have a few thousand pieces to show and tell about with just the Camaro and Firebird. A little over 700 Johnny Lightning loose Camaros alone. So it should be fun moving forwards with this blog. 

Anyway, been thinking about the other few castings I collect on the side. So I've decided to make a side blog. Not sure of a name yet. But will tell you what you will see in it:

Shelby GT500
Ford GT40
Shelby SuperSnake
Lamborghini's
American Graffiti
'41 Willys
'32 Ford 5 Window Coupe
Datsun's
Skyline's
Ghostbusters
Back to the Future
Baldwin Motion (my hometown)
Newer Corvettes 

Looks like a lot of different castings but I don't have much. The cool thing is I have them from all the major manufactures. 

Hotwheels
Matchbox
Johnny lightning
AutoWorld
Tomica 
Jada
Fast wheels
Ect..

Also, I collect variations, errors, preproduction pieces, prototypes, transitional pieces ect.. I am not so much of a cardboard collector. I like to hold these cars in my hand. Check out the detail. Roll them across the table. So most of my collection is loose. I could guess that I have a few hundred carded pieces but never sat down and counted. 
It doesn't matter if you collect loose or carded you are keeping this hobby alive!!! 

Till next time....
