1968 New Matchbox model!

[BroadwayBlue]

if you guys can believe it i actually took the red with white matchbox car and did it up to match my car (red with black) ill upload a pic soon i think youll like it. I painted the deck lid stripes, filled in the tailight panel, and the "chrome" accents throughout. Not too bad i think. They're a lot harder to paint then it looks

That came out great! Nice job!

And I thought I was bad for buying a dozen!

My son is getting 1 of each color, including blue, for his 4th Birthday at the end of the month

The one with the most toys wins !

So far I have only seen the silver one up here in Canada. They always seem to show up a year or so later than in the US.

No luck today ...

Took my 15 year old grandson to a Hobby and Toy Show here in Victoria today and although there were a ton of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars there was not a GT/CS to be found ... in any colour ...
:sad:

 

[stangfan]

Al, do you have the gray one that came out earlier? I don't think we'll see the newer issue of Matchbox GT/CS cars in Canada for a while yet, unfortunately.

 

[BroadwayBlue]

Well I have to confess, with the lack of time and the cost of gas, instead of running from store to store I took the eBay route.

The prices aren't outrageous on them. When you factor it in it's not a bad deal. If you're not buying a large quantity this isn't a bad way to go.
Right now on ebay you can get them for about $4-5 a car including shipping. Sometimes if you buy more than one you get a discount on the shipping. I got all the colors including a blue one this way.

Here's a list of recent auctions

You don't get the enjoyment of the chase but you get what you're looking for.

No, I don't have any of them ... just had a look since we were at a Toy Show. I did get my die cast model back though and now the interior has been repainted black to match our car!
:wink:

I found a red one today. I first went to a Toy R Us and was completely empty. Stopped at a Wal-mart that I was thinking of passing by. Went to the Matchbox section and noticed it was almost empty. I went back for another look and to my surprise they had one left. Now I have the silver, red, and green. And I have a 1:24 scale as well. And I have a friend who is going to custom make a card with all my information on the back. He perfected photo-shop.

Finally found 2 60th anniversary GT/CS Mustangs today in Houma, La. I went from having zero to having 8 in 2 day's.
Still waiting on my custom card from my friend. My custom card is a matchbox type card with a car that has my information on the back and front. With a picture of my car and myself and my car in Biloxi, Ms. So far it looks exceptional.
