I am forever looking on e-bay for 1/43rd plastic diecast on e-bay I can use for slot car conversions. I have found some interesting things in this category.

I have also noticed quite a bit of HO plastic diecast and much of it seems to be going for good prices. I just thought some of you may be interested.

hey Mike, I found this at a flea market:

It says BuddyL on the base, which is held on by 2 Phillips head screws. I'm figuring it came with a car carrier and another Camaro. It's a PERFECT fit on a Mattel chassis in the long wheelbase position. I was going to snap a pic of it on the Mattel chassis, but of course the camera batteries quit right after this one...
