Snagged this for $41 plus shipping. I'm excited about the Eldorado. Any tips on sticker removal? I believe that's a Mini Dinky Jaguar, Impy Rolls and a Siku Mercedes. I've got a Man From Uncle car but this one might be better. I don't know what the larger gold roadster is, Dinky?

On a side note, that sweet Husky truck and antifreeze Silhouette are yours for a mere $41. Any takers? ;)

Support your local demo derby.

In 48 of the 50 states that purchase is considered theft!

The last holdouts were Wyoming and New Hampshire, and they just had a special session to agree with the other 48 that, yes, this indeed does constitute theft. The FBI, CIA, and Department of Homeland Security have been duly informed of this infraction, but I have it on good authority that they would be willing to grant a pardon by sending me the Siku Mercedes and Impy Rolls.

Seriously, that is a fantastic score! Congrats.

I'll know better when I get them, then I'll decide what to keep. Will let you know!

They are originals. You can tell by the wheels (very nice on the Nomad!) and the metallic paint toning.

I just blew up the picture now noticed the toning. Nice finds on the red lines antifreeze is a little tough to find on a decent Nomad.

Tasty to say the least.

The Nomad alone nearly pays for all of them. Then toss in the Topper Eldo! Sticker removal on Topper is difficult, always wants to take paint with it. I might try soaking the car in warm water with a mild soap ... And cross your fingers that no paint wants to fall off. The gold roadster does appear to be Dinky. I think the Husky is a Corgi Juniors version,also its missing the container on the bed. The Siku is nice, it could have jeweled head lights, hopefully they are intact. The Man From Uncle will hopefully include the plastic red rocket, they are usually missing. Then the Mini Dinky ..
Gimme!

Great score,looking forward to closeup pics when they arrive.

Cheers
Eric
