So up till now, i've been only a jeep/fj40/bronco/offroad type collector, But i'm starting to branch out.
Besides a few odds and ends castings of cars i've owned, or have dreamed of owning i have very few cars.
I am still really new at this, and am still not 100% sure what to look for when you say :$uper, or hidden TH. i get where they say treasure hunt on the bottom, but have yet to find one of those...
Anyways this is what i found today at the local wallyworld, "rollbacl" priced @ .88c

Welcome to the addiction then!

Your continental is neat. Mine was only black and white, not that blue.

Hi Jdogg440
Nice First Haul :thumbsup:,
Can never go wrong as long as there's a cougar in the bunch. lol
You even grabbed one that I let slip through my finger the first time I seen it, the Green Gran Torino Sport, Although I id manage to get the variation.

But I am still looking for the green one.

Welcome Jdogg440! Is that Limerick NY??

 

[Jdogg440]

Maine.

thanks for all the welcomes.

Can someone shed some light to the "$uper" finds? i am not in it for the collecting, and i'm really only going to buy what i like, but i'd just like to know more about what is out there.

 

[Jdogg440]

Here's some old ones that have been in a drawer for a bit

 

[Harold Sage]

Okay Jdogg440 I'll try and shed some light on the "$uper" for you.
The '$upers" are upgraded versions of the regular ( Better paint job, better rims and Tires.) In the picture below the regular is on the left and the $uper is on the right.

Hope this helps.

I started off collecting only emergency vehicles and have since branched out. My girlfriend now just shakes her head as I come away with at least five new models everytime we go to walmart. Those are some great hauls and Harold I got the green torino in my collection.

That Rally Rabbit with the window halfway down is pretty cool. Who makes that green Amigo? At least I think that's what it is. It has funky wheels.
