Nice collection in all four posts Floydfrog. I really like the RCCA cars, I picked up 18 different ones over the weekend at a $1.00/each. I didn't get any of the ones you need or I would have worked out a trade with you. I thought I was doing pretty good with the ones I got plus ones I had until I saw all yours. I have never seen the 57 Chevys before. I will have to keep an eye out.

You did really well getting those for a buck each. I never knew these cars existed until about a year ago. Saw some posts by sschevyman1 showing some of his & I've been on a mission ever since trying to get all of the 50's & 60's cars from this series. I consider these cars some of the best in my entire diecast collection.

I only need 6 more to finish the "Legend" & "Collector" series cars, but these are going to be a tough 6, mainly the Joe Weatherly Pontiac. It doesn't show up often on ebay, but when it does it's not cheap:)

I've got all the '63 Fords as well, but I didn't post pics. Including some variations, there are 26 that I know of.:)

26 !!! I thought I was doing good with 12 of the 63's.
Was there only the 6 different castings all together?

Yes, there were only 6 castings of the 50's & 60's cars. There was an early 80's Thunderbird casting in these series also ('83 I think).

The '63 Fords are:
# 0 Dan Gurney
# 0 Tiny Lund
# 06 Larry Frank (white wheels)
# 06 Larry Frank (yellow wheels)
# 06 Larry Frank (Southern 500 Promo)
# 11 Ned Jarrett
# 21 Marvin Panch
# 21 Tiny Lund (solid red roof number)
# 21 Tiny Lund (unpainted roof number)
# 22 Fireball Roberts (Lt.Purple w/white roof number)
# 22 Fireball Roberts (Dk.Purple w/white roof number)
# 22 Fireball Roberts (Lt.Purple w/red roof number)
# 26 Curtis Turner
# 28 Dan Gurney
# 28 Fred Lorenzen
# 29 Nelson Stacy
# 31 Ralph Earnhardt
# 32 Bristol Raceway Promo Car
# 34 Wendell Scott
# 52 Cale Yarborough
# 54 Jimmy Pardue
# 54 Ralph Earnhardt
# 57 Dick May
# 66 Johnny Allen
# 87 Curtis Turner
# 92 Circle Track Magazine Promo Car
# 92 Bristol Raceway Promo Car

I guess there are 27 that I know of, not 26:)

wow, thanks for the list.
I would like to get a Gurney and Roberts one.

Do you have any of the later (I guess) Action versions of the castings?

I have one. A very accurate sample of Phil Bonner's 63 Galaxie.

I've heard of a 5th car in this series, but have never actually seen one. Dick Landy '65 Dodge:)
