Just know that some high end cars graphics have a different installation type and this doesn’t work

Really? I guess I never tried to take the tampos off of anything but $1 cars. I have a $5 50th anniversary premium car I could try. 

Pop culture, retro and car culture all have a cleared over graphics package iirc. The basics have a direct print that can be cleaned off.

Thanks, good to know! I'm not sure I want to risk messing up one of those, but I'll dig through my stash and see if I have one I want to repaint anyways.

James Bond Diamonds are Forever Mach 1 Mustang. My personal favorite Bond movie, Bond car, Mustang, and car chase.

Awesome! You should open it and detail it up like I did!

Would you be interested in a how-to video converting one on your own?

Not really, I customize ten or so cars a year but really I just buy what I like.

Picked this one up, and it sure is fun to play with. Nice strong wing too.

TAS Batmobile for myself and a Maverick for my dad. He had two back in the day wanted a third that he was going to build. 

This was after sorting through an entire 1x3 dump bin looking for the white Countach pace car because I saw a red one. Also almost picked up that rally 911 and a 32 roadster, although the roadster was fully open engined and I want a high boy. 

That was all at work off the clock. 

That Countach is such a nice casting, I wish they'd make a non-pace car version of it, without any crazy graphics. I just want a "plain" Countach.

^ I still have the Matchbox Greyhound bus I got as a kid in the 1960s, I wonder if this current one is made from the same tooling.

Nothing special about this Honda I picked up today, but it was only 69 cents at Walgreens.  

Just so we are on the same page, that civic is a Super Treasure Hunt, 1 in every ten cases or so. Pretty hard to find, really good find!

I didn't know that, even better!

Uh, how do you know?

Well, it has real rider rubber tires. The pearl paint and if he lets the car fall away from the card he will see a gold TH flame printed on the card.

You are correct, sir.

I just checked completed auctions on eBay, it appears they are selling there for around $30 to $40.

Yours has a rough card, as do the three I’ve found (all bent the same way) but it’s still an awesome find! Congrats!
