This has probably been done,but I'm bored... So what kind of cars do you specialize in collecting?

Specialize?

Khandy Khrome
AC and S/C Cobras
GT40s and GTs
Topper Ferraris (Frantic and Custom)
1977 Special Edition Trans Ams
LightningFest stuff
Johnny Ertl WLs
and a bunch of other stuff.....

Does that defeat the idea of specializing?? :freak:

64-74 cuda`s,challengers,69 darts,superbirds,and daytona`s are the castings I`m trying to get all of each and any variation of any of them.Last month the only casting I finished all of was the 71 cuda conv. I do plan to get a few of the new fury`s when they come out,I `ve been collecting a few of the latest series of mopar releases,and a very few select other mopar castings,like the 69 charger,some gtx`s,roadrunners,300c`s,etc. ,but on these I only get 1-2 of those castings. Of course my collection would grow if JL ever makes more of my favorite cars,on the top of that list is a 71 cuda hardtop,with the 70 conv and 72-74 hardtops behind that.

No specific model. I collect cars/trucks that look realistic or that I have seen on the roads or in magazines. Also collect the hot rods and customs that JL makes.

Still trying desperately to get every JL 1/64 Mustang casting. Other than that I just branched out into BWF and some HOW.

I will collect anything I think is really cool. I might go out looking for JLs and come home with something different. The last thing I bought was a Signature Models 1:32 scale 1953 Nash Healy. I saw it and thought, "Whoa! What an awesome car!", so I bought it.

mopars mainly, but I have some of everything
I'm mostly into the old muscle cars, but like late 50's heavy metal chrome and a few of the 70's cars too, I have almost no interset in newer cars

Everything.

Ford Mustangs and Toyota Supras are always sure bets with me, but I will collect any 1/64 model of a real automobile. I buy a few concept cars, and every once in awhile one of the Hot Wheels generics will catch my eye (but that's rare!), but the vast majority of my collection is post World War II production models.

Started off easy enough, Chargers and Goats. Really not sure where I lost control. Working more on flames now. Not just the black ones. Flamed cars in many colors works for me also.

Everthing. I have about 100 Ertl 1/16 tractors, construction equipment, and several semi's that my older bro gave to me for x-mas one year. Still have all of my HW's from my childhood over 120 of JL's. I collect various JL's-VW's, Chevy, Ford, Dodge. I collect just whatever i like and that suits me just fine!

it's very much like ivy,the plague,a leaky boat,cancer,fungus,weeds,wildfires,capillaries,nos ehairs,tree roots...you know.

It innocently starts out as one specific collection, then spreads,branches and floods into other entities of junk saving.

I have more Mustangs than anything else, Jeeps are a distant second. However, I've always bought anything that caught my eye. I have almost no foreign cars, but I enjoy all sorts of American models including trucks.

I`ve changed my collecting habits slightly since this thread came along.
It`s now just regulars and wl`s of these with no tampoed series included[monopoly,etc..]
cuda`s
challengers
69 daytonas
70 superbirds[new casting only]

and a few select regulars [maybe 1 car every couple of months]
no more darts either :thumbsup:
