Coolest Hotwheels ever?

Finally got my film developed. Here is my HotWheels Bronco with a purple motorcycle on the tailgate:

Here is my HotWheels Mantis F150 and my revised Mantis F150, with the Mantis rubbed off and painted over and a plexiglass tonneau cover:

Here are my Tonka SuperDutys. The one says "We're Right Behind You, Boge Trailer":

Here is one of my '40 Ford drag trucks:

These are all available in stores if you look really hard, but the drag truck currently is available in silver and blue. Got a mid 90s F150 4wd monster truck on the next roll.

I've never been a hotwheels fan. Give me the 1/24th plastic models any day.

Slothshady: Like you, I got rid of my cars from when I was a kid. I too would sure like a '77 F100. Had a real one once. Best I have seen was around a 1980 model year by matchbox--short box, step side with roll bar and big tires, but it seems a bit distorted and dosen't even have the side vent windows.

Dustin, I got my Harley 5 pack. Thanks to you or I wouldn't have known it even existed. Found it at a grocery store of all places. Strange thing is that, unlike your pack, it says Harley Davidson across the front at the bottom.

Glad to hear you found one, mine is different because it is in a Canadian package. All Canadian cards and packages suck they don't say gauranteed for life, and never have the series name or number on the front.

Went to Motor City Collectables for a couple more Highboy F250s and saw two Harley trucks in single packes, the 40s drag truck and the '56 panel. Guy wanted $13 each. I did not buy. Later, at an old toy store, found a couple 30-year-old Matchbox (Lesney) '67 F100s--extremly cool! We paid $8 apiece for these. Will have photos to post in due time.

Don't even think about paying $13 for the singles I've seen them in Walmart already, give it a couple weeks and they'll be everywhere.

No, I don't need the singles that badly, though I would like the '40s drag truck as I don't want to open my 5 pack. I am collecting the drag trucks and have four now, silver, red, yellow, and just got a blue one the other day at that used toy store. Was at Meijer's (Michigan chain dept store) Sunday am and they finally after a long time had a lot of new cars out, including the Ford Thunderbold race car with cowl induction bubble hood, and Plymouth GTX and Road Runner (yes I like Chrysler muscle cars too).

I was in Walmart the other night and there was 5 Harley 5 packs hanging on the pegs, my first instinct was to buy them all but then I decided to leave them for someone else that was looking as long as I was for them.
