I only have these two, but I am going to look for the open boot one. Thanks for the info.

MOONEYES BUG! :wub: Gotta get me one of those!
Th e YELLOW M@@NEYES can be found in

=Very Dark PURE YELLOW no name base
=Very Dark PURE YELLOW name on base

=Light Yellow ( greenish yellow , pale ) No Name on BASE
=Light Yellow ( greenish yellow , pale ) Name on BASE

I actually rate 3 different YELLOWS in me listings documents
Yellow 1 , yellow 2 , yellow 3
==

WM Zamak
There is also a short run of tampo colour of WHITE ( not SILVER) on tge words

And these too have both bases but one is more uncommon

I only have a few of The uncommon base compared to having tons of common of Th e WM Zamak Raw

I have lots of pieces all together ,don't have a complete count yet ( mind that I collect ERRORS , SHORT RUNS , Erriations and Commons

I will finally get to be tackling these ALL LAYED out together on the table , which at me old house never was able to do except in small 3-20 groups to compare/ SPOT


Pretty common at new time to find MAss angle slides or level but way low ( possible 1 side or even both sides )

Thanks coldpop!

Always liked anything Mooneyes!

We regularly do some business with Mooneyes here in Santa Fe Springs (they buy parts from us).

Did you know...

Moon Speed Equipment "paused" after Dean Moon died in 1987, then stopped momentarily after Dean Moon's wife died. In the early 1990s, Shige Suganuma, a long time Mooneyes dealer from Japan and close family friend of Moon, restarted the company as MOONEYES USA which continues to carry on the traditions of Dean Moon today

I first met Shige about 15 years ago - he's an all-around nice guy, and a big Toyota Crown enthusiast. We're lucky he's kept the Mooneyes brand alive all these years. :thumbup:

Yep, an opening boot. That's why I bought it. I learnt there was a variant after reading this thread. Cool !
