2015 starting off good. Scored lots of nice cars here and found 3 cars I have been searching forever for. I completed by Kyosho Ferrari castings and Aurora Cigar Box sets.

Nice Charger, they are hard to come by with the window posts intact. Does anybody know what year it represents ... Its a trick question.

That's awesome! Congratulations! Those Kyoshos are tough ones for sure. I'd love to find that P4 myself eventually but I'm not holding my breath.

If you look at the round tail lights yes they are only found on a 68. Thing is, the split front grill is found only on the 69 ... So its a 68 1/2 LOL.

The design department dropped the ball on that one.

just like AW's Charger slot car.

I'm pretty sure I've seen some in the past that had 68 side markers and bumble bee stripes but the 69's grill.

I like the Dydo Display case. Where on earth did you get that?
Any pics with cars in it? Curious to see it in use.

I'll put the 22 Dydo in this weekend. I am not sure if the 330 P4 came with the display. The instructions for the case were on the back of the car card and they were packaged together.
