CRAGSTAN Corvette In A Small Lot

$7.99 shipped to my door bought me this little lot. It works out to $1.33 per car.

I was mainly interested in the Cragstan, since they have been popping up all over every few months here on Swifty's, and I wanted to see one for myself. I find that it is extremely similar in feel and the way it rolls to Corgi. I'll likely put the plastic car and the two train cars into my sell box, as I only got this for the 3 larger scale models. I do mainly collect 1/64scale, but if I really, really, really like a model, and it isn't 1/64th scale, I'll pop on it anyways.

It also came with....
1. a broken Corgi trailer
2. a Ferrari made by Mercury
3. a caboose made by Midgetoy
4. A tank car made by an unknown company (it has cardboard wheels!)
5. a plastic car made by an unknown company.

Does anyone know anything about the Mercury Ferrari? I found out tonight when washing and drying my new car acqusitions that the Mercury has oiled bushings in the wheels. While drying, the heater heated up the oil. When I went to pat-dry it on my pants to see if all the water was dried out, I got these little flecks of oil on me. I also notice it's held together with flathead screws, as if it had some other purpose (like those Aurora Cigar Box cars).

Sorry to necropost, Husky, but if you want to part with the Cragstan/Sabra 'Vette, hit me up on here or deviantART and we can trade. Just FYI I'd be commissioning a restoration like with my Imperial.
