I found it at a local flea market, but they are also showing up at Walmart and Toys R US just be patient you'll find one. P.S. It's a full size Bronco mid eighties.

Great. I like the full sized bronco better anyway. I actually have every truck in that pack but in different colors. A white Bronco, the navy blue Mantis '79 F150, a black with racing striped '2000 F150, a two different '56 panels (white and a grey), and three different '40 drag trucks. But to have them all in one pack would be great! Went to Toys R Us, Walmart, and Meijer this week, but no Ford Truck 5 packs--yet. Heading over to Motor City Collectibles later this week to see if there are any older F150s available. Don't forget, Matchbox is still putting out the '56 F100 too. And I just got a couple red Matchbox Explorer Sport Tracs with opening tailgate and bed extender.

this is just too cool.........i was wondering if their were any mini car collectors left.......can anyone tell me what happened to matchbox? they used to make realisic looking cars, now they are going the funky route much like hot wheels. I have prolly 1000 cars i've collected since i was 2, they're mostly all in a rubbermade tub, and most are matchbox. I'm now sixteen, so most were made in the 70's and 80's.

Hang on to your hot wheels! Back in 1992, I thought I was getting rich when I sold my collection from 1967-1974, all in like new condition, for about $ 5.00 each. Years later, when I got a price book, I found out what they were really worth. Especially the 30 or so 1973 enamel paint models and all those redlines!

Not a Hot Wheels, but cool anyway. Just went to Motor City Collectables yesterday and got a (I think it is Racing Collectables) 1959 F250 "Highboy" 4wd in 1/64 scale. It is black (actual '59 color) with opening hood and a V8. Not sure what V8 would have been in it. My books show 292 Y-block for the '59 F100, but F250 may have had larger displacement, perhaps 252. Still lookin for the Hot Wheels Ford truck 5-pack.

Yup, my all time favorite was called "jethreat" issued only in 1970 (ahhh youth). I still have it, although its beat to hell. I was at a meet and a fellow was selling collectible matchbox and hotwheels and I asked him about this one...thought it would be cool to get one in good shape. Can you believe almost $500 bucks!!! Oh well, my old one has more "character" anyways.

If your knuckles ain't bleeding you did something wrong.

'72 F-250 "Hi-Boy" 4x4, Dana 60/HD44, FE428 @ 400+ ponies , 4-speed, custom suspension w lift, mud on black.
