All are 1/43 scale (about 6" long). Who knows, maybe a fellow HT member would be willing to part
with his/hers if they have one.

Hard to determin. There are so many that I'd love to add to my collection. It's more like I have a holy grail for each diecast manuafacturer. But if I had to pick an overall one it would be a Buby Mustang II in any color.

Nice dragsters! My collection (of redlines) sort of revolve around my Sugar Caddy collection. Only the pink one could beat this my orange one.

In my Matchbox collection The Hulk chooses his favorite ride.

Probably a Tomica Prelude or any die-cast EP3 Civic SI (I'm not aware of any that exist).

The Shelby Cobra with the race decals. Definately not the rarest car ever, and I've got it in the packaged set, but I've been watching the bay for a while for a loose one. They usually go for more than I am willing to spend. Maybe one of these days when I find the boxed set for a good price I'll get another one and open it...

Whoa!! That is one helluva RAOK!!
My Holy Grail is the R-Rated version of the West Coast Choppers '54 Chevy. (144 made)
It sits in a protective little showcase on top of my keyboard. It's the one car I'd save if the house was on fire.

Oh, and it was also RAOK'ed to me.

Mine are any HW Customized VW Drag Truck and Drag Bus. I got a 2006 Classics Drag Truck recently. :thumbsup:

One of the finest looking 1/64 ever, IMO.

My Holy Grail is the green version of the Shelby G.T.500 Mustang pictured below (with certificate of authenticity). I've been looking for one for almost 20 years. I saw one on eBay about 2 years ago, but it sold for over $1300.00.

I would have to say that my holy grail cars would be most of the older Lesneys/Matchbox that I had in the late 60's/early 70's as a kid. Wish I still had them:)

I don't have a holy grail any more. I got mine (a Corgi set) a long time ago and now I just collect what I like.

A couple, not sure they're holy grails, but high on my list is a Tiger Wheels Shelby in white, and one of the original Topper Mustangs. Have cursed myself endlessly for being too cheap when I knew the prices were reasonable.
