Wow! Two things spring to mind.....

1. I don't really have a beater collection problem
2. Many of these look better than most of my 'good' ones :lol:

Wow !! so many I am missing - VW camper, Pickford vans, Aston in red etc etc . Why not sell them, seems a shame to repaint them when a lot look so good and some of us don't care if unboxed etc as long as displayable.

I could sell them, average $5.00 for the nice ones. Or repaint them in rare or custom form, average $25.00.

I didn't really study the pics, but that early Commer ice cream truck has the early decals (as can be seen by the long roof decal). That one is a little too hard to find to repaint (if the rest of it is in as good a shape as the top of it).
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Most of them are too good to paint, is that a white interior corsair in the first picture (bottom row with the boat on)

The lavender ice cream truck and corsair are both repaints. All of those to the right of the snow tracs are ebay rejects and will be listed again at some point.
I stocked up on some, the popular ones.
