Great lot out of StLouis

Post by Butlercustom »

Found a guy selling this lot. Knew it would be a good lot but was pleased when I got it home and looked at it in detail.
There were more in the lot but they have already been dispersed into the collection. Bought these off a young man who was given these from his dad. He had to sell them for rent money. Almost felt bad buying them but hey he needed the money.
All the cars were in almost mint condition and included five really nice redline hot wheels as well. But enough already. I think the story speaks for themselves.
In case anyone has one I am looking for a dolly for the M 9 Inter-State truck. Willing to buy or trade for one.

Lovely - particularly like the yellow GT and the Orange Label M9 - both on my 'one day I'll have them' list.

The yellow GT is one of my favourite RW's (makes mine look so poor in comparison, image below). This is one RW that i am determined to find a minter of before i die!!

You did very well with your purchase some very nice models there

From what i understand the forum has some restrictions on the size of the image you can post to acheive the best viewing result.

Many members use Photobucket to post images on the forum very succesfully, In my case I always edit my images prior to posting and I use "paint" editing software (which is preloaded on most computers running Windows) and reduce the original image to no more than 500 x 300 pixels and then i "save as" the reduced image to a seperate photo file ready for posting to the forum. Job done!!

PS i used the "paint" software to edit your image with a reasonable result.

By the way welcome to the forum Greg, great to have you on board.

Very nice Mike! You think the color is different than mine or maybe just the lighting?
