My son had a violin lesson today and right next door is a Hobby Shop that I haven't been to before. After his lesson we decided to go in and have a look. They didn't have any 1/64th cars but did have a section of some 1/18th's and a couple of Greenlight 1/24th (2 to be exact). Well one of the Camaro's happened to be this lovely Green `69 that I have wanted for a long time. It was priced at $24.99. Flat out made my day. :) It's number 15 (my Wife's Birthday) Woo Hoo:thumbsup:

Thanks guys. It was a great feeling to find it sitting there. I hope to have it in the collection for a long time. I felt the same way when I found my first White Lightning, unfortunately I lost it with a bunch of others in a house fire in 2000. Someday I will replace it when I find one.

Hey Bill, Thanks.

My first White Lightning that I ever found was this one. Found it at Toys R Us. It looked really good with the white tires. I wish I still had all those cars that got torched. :cry:
