Greetings everybody! I am doing my part to make sure everyone is aware of the Swifty's Garage 10 Year Anniversary Contest. I want to make sure no one is left out-of-the-loop on this!

Lots of great prizes available, and all it takes to enter is a basic, mainline Hot Wheels or Matchbox car selected for a "demo-derby / banger race," mailed to Swifty.

Click here for all the details :link:

They would need to be packaged to officially qualify, but here is a sampling of eligible models that could be raced by the Matchbox collectors here at Swifty's!

I hope everyone here will join in on the fun, and here's a great excuse to frivolously bump your post count: chime in here to keep the topic active for a week or so, to ensure all the Matchbox collectors here are aware of the contest. Even if you have nothing to add, you can always post a bunny with a pancake on her head.

When was that challenger made? I want to get one, but I checked eBay and the only one was sold for $50. Any idea why?

The Challenger is from the 2012 mainline. Excessive demand for realistic models is the only reason I can fathom for such high prices today.

I have looked into it more and apparently it was scheduled for the mainline, but it was only released in a 9 pack before Mattel changed their minds about making it.

Of course, I had to choose a Matchbox model for my submission into the contest.

Looking forward to seeing how it does!

Here's an article from Lamley about that particular version of the Challenger... http://www.lamleygroup.com/2015/05/holy-grail-acquired-2012-matchbox-dodge.html

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
So far I've received two Matchbox models and five Hot Wheels models. The advantages Hot Wheels would normally have on a track should be moot on the banger track, though so few get raced I can't say for sure.

My car went out today. I folded the card a bit to make it fit in a box I knew would qualify for First Class shipping. First class costs less than $3, and barring getting lost, etc, has a delivery time of 1-3 days. I'm all the way in western Arizona, and I was told my box will be at the Swifty's Garage PO Box on Thursday.

So, for you procrastinators out there (like I am), there is still time, but go NOW!!!
