Here are my mint #55 and #59 I got these in the 90's on ebay. I guess they have increased in value.

Here is my green #53. I've had this since the late 60's. Just bought it from under the counter at Hudson Bay or Eaton's I can't remember. Has a little play wear on the high surfaces but still nice to look at.

I remember when I got this car. Hot wheels were coming out and Matchbox was switching to Superfast. I was always a loyal Matchbox fan Hot Wheels were too goofy looking, so my Mom bought this VW. The box showed a white VW and this was red. I complained to my Mom so eventually I got a white model. Who knew this would be a rare piece. This was one of the last ones I got as a kid. My brother who is 6 years older quit collecting by this time.

Here is a mint #55 in dark blue non-metallic. I got this on eBay at a super price of $100.

This #62 pale yellow did cost me some money in the early 2000's, over $1000, but still well worth it I believe.

Another beautiful and rare variation TNT. There have been a few of these Cougars shown here over the years, so they had to have been an early very short run. I say this also because they were found in stores as their earliest shipments, not simply models used as salesman's samples found in tiny numbers. We have had reports from Forum members that these odd colored Cougars were found in both Africa and California as brand new boxed Toys. It certainly is a very exciting model to show us here, Thanks! kwakers :o

These are simply wonderful models TNT and it's great that you have decided to share them here so that we can admire them. Many of us can only dream of these minty and rare variations.

That's interesting because the cougar came from California. Traded some Marvel comics too for it. Maybe shouldn't have done that because the comics have really shot up in price.

I have done the honors and changed it to 'TNT's collection', as I think "Numi" has a good point.
