Just took a big chance on this auction, but that gold car and that red car look an awful lot like 2 Jet Wheels Corvairs along with a Cougar. Can anyone identify the pink AMX? Playart? I think the other bidders were distracted by the Matchbox Pontiac and HW Sizzlers. Closing bid was $88.87. I'll be crossing my fingers until this package arrives. I'm also happy about the Cigarbox T-Bird and Speedy ![]() ![]()

Wish I could help you on the Corvairs, but I'm not familiar with them enough to ID them, but I spy two gorgeous red Ferrari's, the Matchbox 250 Berlinetta and a Speedy 330 P4! If you are willing to part with either please let me know! |

Ben, I need to compare the Matchbox to the one I already have, then I'll send you new pics. The speedy, unfortunately, is MINE! |

No problem! I have a different numbered version of the Speedy already, so one will have to do. You will love it though, the base is the best part, with a big Ferrari logo on it. |

Who makes the car with the Red Cross? The military trailer? Is the blue car a slot car body? It is sad that many were melted with some idiot with a lighter. |

That would be a Husky or Corgi Juniors Studebaker ambulance wagon with the sliding roof torn off. The green trailer is also a Corgi Juniors. It goes great with their red farm tractor. If you are referring to the blue car with the black striped hood, I think it's a Mini Lindy Maverick. |

Yeah...the purple Poncho is a great find by itself. Are the two wreckers Lindbergh? Even if they aren't what you hope, you got an awesome score. The yellow/tan one sure looks like a Corvair from the angle, not sure about the other. I see the red Corvair now...good eyes! |

The two wreckers are Lindberg - the first picture top right is definitely from the AMT/Mego/Jet Wheels family.

Eric, should I ever kick my diecast addiction, you can buy my drugs off of me. They would look great next to your drugs. I will definitely post pics for all of us to enjoy. I've enjoyed your collection many times (Love the Buick!). |

That and the blue No.1 car above it are Hot Wheels Sizzlers. The No. 92 car is a Speedy Ferrari. |

I didn't even see the blue one! I assume it's a Ford GT40, correct? |
