Thrift Store Diecast Tour: Ford Mustang

This Mustang would totally rock--except it was missing a rear wheel.  I'm not great at assembling models so I passed.  It was only $1.91 at Goodwill.

Thrift Store Diecast Tour: McLaren F1 Super Car

This diecast McLaren F1 Supercar has seen better days.  But, it's waiting for someone to buy and restore it or for a kid to get a little more play out of it.

Thrift Store Diecast Tour - GTO

I found this diecast Pontiac GTO sitting on a shelf in an Atlanta Goodwill.  It appears to be a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge.  It's probably made by Muscle Machines.  Since it's just waiting for a kid to grab it, I let it be.

Welly Nissan Skyline GT-R Pull Back Car

Here's another cool looking pull back car from Welly.  It's a Nissan Skyline GT-R.  These are very cool die-cast toy cars.  Just pull 'em backwards and let 'em GO!

Welly Jaguar S-Type Pull Back Car


Say hello to my little jag!  It's a toy Jaguar S-type that I picked up at the grocery store for $6.  It's made in China for a company called Welly.  It's actually a "pull back car."  If you pull it backwards and let it go, it will zoom across a table top or kitchen floor.  For a cheap toy, the interior is surprisingly detailed and the doors actually open.  Jaguar created the beautiful lines and some people in a Chinese factory made it affordable. Pretty cool!

My '57 Chevy Thriftstore Find!

I found this Muscle Machines '57 Chevy at the Thriftstore a couple of weeks ago for less than $10.  It was definitely a keeper!
