Why not attempt to restore it? Then it could again be a nice show piece! |

I'd agree. It isn't old as a Regular Wheel, and likely not worth much, even in good shape, so I'd say it wouldn't hurt to restore it. I have several that are in awful shape that I'd like to restore, but don't know how, or just am likely to goof up. Good thing is, most of those, I found later in good condition (and cheaper than the beater), so I don't need to display the poor condition one.s Edited by cody6268, Jan 12 2015, 02:11 PM.

This one seems to have endured many many many hours of fun....old Matchbox are made that tough, and then it's a Rolls, and Mbx doesn't do them anymore. |

I found one of these in only slightly better shape, and I can tell you it cleaned up very nicely! |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Cars like this are great candidates for reclamation customs--not exactly a 'restoration" but a good cleanup, paint, decorate and re-wheel if needed. |
