Nice pics! :thumbsup: Who is the manufacturer of the car?

man your makeing me like broncos now :thumbsup: !

awsome car!

Too bad it wasnt a 78'Bronco. Ford Bronco's are my fav truck of all time. I like the bronc though. Very sexy!!

Nice detail on that one!

Very cool Brian. Who made that thing?

I'm about sure that it is a Matchbox. They released a set of 6 early 4x4s - Bronco, CJ2, Land Rover, Scout, Power Wagon, and I think a Blazer - all in original colors. I have the set. Then they released a set with logos on the trucks, and added things like fishing rods and coolers. I only have the CJ from the second set. The Bronco in the 1st set is dark green, with a white top.

Correct, it was Matchbox that made these. As Scrambler mentioned, they made a set of 6, a very neat set of cars by the way I might add. I'll snap a picture of the chassis later, its completely accurate to an Early Bronco suspension and drivetrain. It was these broncos and the JL broncos that got me into diecast.

Any idea what year it was made?

That was one of the last sets before Tyco sold Matchbox, so when was that? I don't remember at the moment, but I'd guess about 5 years ago. Some of those 1/43 Matchbox Collectibles castings show up in WalMart from time to time, but they're not detailed out as well as the original, direct mail pieces.

The green Bronco originally came out in 1999, followed by the Marlin a year or two later, then the red Bronco in 2002.

Being a fisherman myself, I think that is really cool. Nice find :thumbsup:

Picture of the chassis, its extremely detailed and as accurate as can be!

WOW!

I never saw this one or the red one mentioned. I really like the opening rear tailgate and the fishing poles...what more could a guy ask for!

Thanks for sharing, and by the way...NICE pics!:thumbsup:
