![]() Today's car of the day is Muky's Ferrari 308. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Ferrari 308 GTB ![]() This is one of the few Muky castings to be completely original and not copied from a Hot Wheels Redline era casting. The casting is extremely crude, but that was a Muky trademark- even their Redline copies are much cruder than the original Hot Wheels versions. ![]() Like Buby, Muky was based out of Argentina.

It might be a crude casting, but it is part of diecast history. The paint looks like Wally World cheap red paint. |

Red paint! I like the color as it is soooo close to Ferrari red!

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

That casting almost looked familiar, but I don't recall ever having a "Muky" or any other casting made in Argentina. It's not bad looking! But this once again confirms that me collecting all Ferrari's would have been fruitless, as more and more I've never seen keep popping up. I gave up that idea years ago. Thanks, Swifty, for once again amazing me. Was Buby and Muky pronounced Booby and Mooky? Then they should added Flooky and Goopy. Or Hokey. Soupy? ......I know, SIT DOWN, Ivan!! HEY ZACH! Watch out on the cheapshot for Wally World paint!! I've used their paint on customs and it's as good as anyone's enamel!! They've got a few decent rattle can colors.

The paint looks pretty good for a Muky! The Redline knock-offs have some of the most godawful finishes ever... |

Actually yes. On a side note, even with safe search on I don't recommend Googling "Buby". |

![]() Thanks for the pics! This one is almost the same angle, and really helps to show how poor the Muky casting is. |

Evidently the current results are a far cry from the results I got the first time I Googled it years ago. That's a good thing... |

Suffice it to say this one wasn't exceedingly popular the first time around. Let's see if time has helped it? |

I own one of these, and this is the first time I've noticed the tail lights. They look convincing, if one didn't know what they were supposed to look like. |

Ferrari’s have been my main collection since I started collecting in 2000. The switch flipped to include so many more brands when I joined here in 2014. In that time, I’ve scoured this site to try and find any Ferrari’s I didn’t know about and have added most. And four years later I’m still finding cars I never knew about. I had no idea about this one. Off to eBay I go to start searching. |

This isn't the worst generic Ferrari ever, but it's still terrible. |

From Argentina with uniqueness. Muky models were definitely below the quality of the ones from Buby but still when I had the opportunity years and years ago to get some Muky models I went for them - direct from Argentina. Never had this Ferrari but then have never been much of a Ferrari person.

I agree. After ten years, aging hasn't made it any finer, either. I can easily pass on this one in a loose car bucket at a swap meet and not have any 2nd thoughts. |

I assume that Muky and Buby were the sort of cars you could get in a 20-pack at K-Mart for 5 bucks? This one looks like it MIGHT be worth a quarter. I'll pass - I much prefer the Hot Wheels 308 I found in a grab box at the CARnival a couple of years ago at, as I recall .50 cents or 5 for $2.00. I'll pass on this one, thanks anyhow. |
