Nice finds as always, you pick the good stuff!

That ERTL Ford Coupe is one I've been looking for, but it looks like that one has already been in an accident!

Anyone know where that Coupe comes from? (Segment wise, if it is?)

Jermaine,i know the headlight bar is loose.i believe that it can be glued back into place.i am not sure if there should be a hood emblem on the bar above the radiator.
allowing for the above two flaws i would say this is in pretty good shape for a piece of loose 30 year old die cast.

I've seen it packaged as a single and as part of a (4? car) set, but the name of the set is escaping me at the moment, probably something like American Classics or some such.

Those are definitely 70s era graphics on the Kidco Chevette!

Gotta love "Hemi 440" on the Kidco wing car...the Hemi was a 426, the 440 wasn't a Hemi!

Thanks for the info guys!

And thanks for the additional pictures Dan, it does look a bit better, particularly since both lights are intact.

30+ years old and played with, definitely not bad!

Sad, the guide Spennyman posted above has two cars I have. Suppose I have a soft spot for these things!

Dan, add the Buick police car to my box please. The two Kidco items in the first pic stand out to me - esp the winged Mopar which is not easy to score. Sweet hauls.

This.

I overpaid for one.

Just...don't ask. I got screwed by currency exchange big time. And then half the cars showed up broken or I discovered the previous owner added details (and not very well at that).

I was extremely not happy with that transaction.

The good news is it wasn't a member here.

Wes,i believe that the "american classics" where issued by Yat ming.

Zach,buick added to your box.

on to the two kidcos.
i still have a note here reminding me that i told sean that if i came across any kidco chargers he could have
the 1st shot.Zach if we cant work a deal then you are next in line.

on the chevette i was going to put it as a c9.5 but then i noticed a crack in the right side rear glass.i will add some pics.Zach,check the pics and let me know if you are still interested..

Did the 1:1 Chevette ever have quad headlamps?

That's because it isn't a Chevette, that's a Honda Accord as JustDavid pointed out earlier in this thread.

That's the version of the Charger I have (I need the red one) so I will let Zach have that one.
