Well, last night I went out die-cast shopping, and found a lot of new Matchbox and a couple of Hot Wheels at K-Mart. As I went to enter the cars into my Excel spreadsheet, I realized that I was pretty dog-gone close to row 1000. And, indeed, I hit it! Here's my 1000th car:

Anyway, I've won two contests here at HT, and I haven't seen any on here in a while, so I figured it was my turn! (I know it's a lot to read, I tried to bold all the important stuff).
The contest is to guess the brand and casting of the vehicle currently in row #222 of my die-cast collection's Excel spreadsheet.
Your only hint (for now ;) ) is how the spreadsheet is organized- each car takes up one row, even each duplicate has its own row. Every time I finish entering a new batch, I alphabetize the list according to the brand of the car being replicated. For example, a Ford Mustang might be on row 300. Well, a Volkswagen Beetle would have a higher row number and a Chevrolet Camaro would have a lower row number. C comes before F comes before V.
As an example for a guess, I would need a brand, car, and year if applicable. Johnny Lightning V12 Vanquish would be acceptable, but Johnny Lightning Ford Mustang would not. Since JL has only ever made one Vanquish casting, that would be all the info I would need. Since JL has made many Mustangs, you would also need to include a year (1987 for a Foxbody, for example) and body style. If you want to know whether or not a guess is valid, feel free to PM it to me and I will tell you what else you should include if you need to.
Each member may submit one guess between 12:00AM-11:59PM each day. If a member posts more than once in this period, only the first post will be valid, the other(s) will be ignored. Also, posts may be edited, but ONLY BEFORE THE NEXT POST IS POSTED. All posts edited after the post after them is posted will be void. Guesses may be in text or a picture of the casting (any release).
Also, I will intermittanly be giving hints, so be sure to check for them ;) I don't want this contest to drag on forever.
PRIZE- One regular Treasure Hunt Viper from this spring's K-Day and one loose Treasure Hunt 1932 Ford Model A Delivery from 1999.
