If you have a photobucket or another web hosting account for pics. upload your pics to that acoount, then do a copy pic, in your reply here simply paste the pic from photobucket in the text where you would want it. It is easy now that I know how. If you don't have a photobucket account simply register its free, and follow the instructions there on how to upload pics from your computer. www.photobucket.com james |

I know the ones you mean. The value depends on a couple of things - for example did the box come with it? With most Made in Japan Tomica, the value can more than double if you have the right box with it. With the Dodge, the value of the Police version is often lower than that of the plain one as the plain one is rarer. Being American cars, they are more in demand amongst American collectors. Whatever the case may be, at GBP 7.00, you got a decent deal. If they're boxed, you got a bargain. Edited by diecastdingo, Mar 1 2009, 05:33 AM.

I got a blue Dodge at home - as I said, the civilian ones are quite hard to find. |

They are great models! I wish they still made some US models, since that is basically only what I collect. But then, I can rationalize that I am saving money since I don't have to buy any to feed my collection |

Oh - GBP 7.00 for the TWO? I thought seven each was good. That's a bargain - definitely! |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Yes, definitely got them for a good price. And they're both awesome little cars. I've had the blue/white Lincoln since I was a kid.

The scale should be on the base of each. From memory, both are roughly 1/74-1/77, so they will fit in nicely with other 1/76 scale vehicles. |

To be honest I would not have a clue on how rare or its cost. This has been in my collection since 1985 and I have another that has been with me since 1977 in the same condition.

I have them both - the "standard" ambulance in red and while as above, mint loose probably between US$ 10-15, more with the box. You can pay more than US$ 100.00 for a rarer colour version if you want... The Sedan probably a bit more, US$ 15.00 upwards I'd say for a minter. If you find the Sedan dressed as an Ambulance, you found my "holy grail"! They're mega rare.
