No Redlines or Toppers here, these only go back as far as the mid 70's, but i think they might qualify as vintage diecast... got the whole bunch at a junk store for $1.

Couple of unusual cars here, if nothing earth-shattering... the silver Mustang II is a Zylmex, they call it a "Cobra Street Racer". The Ferrari Dino is by Ertl, and it has a Cannonball Run logo on the hood (ewww). It surprised me that the engine cover opens. Also a surprise to me was the black Lamborghini Countach by Playart which has opening gullwing doors. The red Countach is a Kidco, and I assume it was a Key Car since it has the hole for the launcher in the back. The brown Camaro says Hot Wheels Scorchers, and it's missing the rear tires. What was the deal with Scorchers again? I vaguely remember they were motorized, but how? It looks kinda like it had to be a pullback motor, but there's a large round coin-shaped section on the bottom that makes me wonder if it was something else... The 928 is cool, I didn't even know that Hot Wheels ever did a 928. And the Mercedes and the fire truck will probably join my kid's box of beaters....
