Picked these up tody for a qurter each. Ferrari Berlinetta looks worse in pic than in hand. Dont know what the cab is from or what type of trailer goes on it and the silver one says "Super G.T." on the base with what looks like BR 35/36.
Anyone have anymore info to add?

The truck is missing a fuel tanker trailer and is #63.
The Porsche 910 casting was originally released around 1970 as casting number 68,
but that is some strange '80s release of it. Maybe a Chinese release or a pre-pro??????? WEIRD!
I'll be interested to see what this one is all about for sure!
To I.D. that will take someone far more qualified than myself!!!
Always love seeing the #75 Ferrari - nice one - you stole it for a quarter!

It is still going on sunday. Not just any car show. The car show of the year for Houston. It is the World of Wheels / Autorama. Lots of show cars and lots of vendors selling everything from diecast to car parts and about everything in between.

Yup, you know it. :wave:
And you can bet I'm gonna keep bumpin' this thread until someone can properly identify that Porsche!!! Does it have a black plastic base?
Where are all the Masters of Matchbox?!?!?!?

Here we go, Dave:
- Info on the Super GT range:
http://www.mboxcommunity.com/cfalkens/Matchbox/Catalog/Gt/ChFGTIndex.htm
"The Super GTs were based on earlier Matchbox 1-75 Miniatures castings from the 1970s which had been simplified to eliminate interiors and working parts...These models had numbers prefixed by "BR" (for "Budget Range") assigned to them, whereby each casting was assigned two numbers denoting two different livery styles. Both numbers were cast on the baseplates."
- List and photo of all the Matchbox Super GT Porsche 910 releases: http://www.mboxcommunity.com/cfalkens/Matchbox/Catalog/Gt/GTbr3536/ChF-GTbr3536.htm
The one we seek is second row, fourth from the left.
Thank you to Mr. Christian Falkensteiner for his excellent resource.
