Great Find - I'll give you .50 cents for them!

Looks like good custom bait to me. Congrats on the finds.

Not trying to offend anyone, or the cars cause they are cool..

But are people attracted to older diecasts, regardless if they are all paint stripped and such? Cause I got a couple pretty cool cars that are missing paint kinda like those, like my Firebird :)

That question is completely up to each collector. Some will not buy a car if it is not perfect in perfect packaging. I know someone else who has the motto "Condition only matters if I have one already".

I am somewhere in between. If it is a cheap variation I will wait for a good model. If it is a 'rare' model I will take a model in less than great condition. After years of collecting I am slowly moving towards wanting very nice models.

I am a loose collector and condition does not matter to me one bit. I like to get cars that appeal to me and get examples of all errors of cars. As for the redlines in question, I only have 4 redlines, including these.

So say if I have a VW Drag beetle, there are some scratches on the body, will someone want it?

Redlines, as in any HW with wheels with redlines on them?

Sweet. That bird is a very nice candidate for a resto.

Yes, any HW's with a red line around the wheel is concidered. But the redline era is from '68 to around '75 I think maybe a few after

It depends, do you have a picture? Somebody might want it.

1977 was the last year for redlines.

If I like the car, a few sratches won't hurt my buying
