I know it's not a real model, but this Speed Champions Ferrari 512 was like 300 pieces!

The Lego stuff is so awesome! I want the Jeep Rubicon but they are so pricey.

From low rider to gasser. Dig it.

This one started life as an Ertyl. I gasser’d it years ago so I don’t remember where the engine, wheels and other parts came from.

I dated a girl, whose father had a tubbed pro street 57’ like this in black. It was such a beast!

Ian, was it you or Luke that has a real life resto of the 510?
My first car was a 1970 B-510 wagon. Loved that car!

Here is a work in progress. Hot Wheels Vintage Early Times body, an Altered ego dragster base, and a vintage Roger Dodger Hemi engine. Real Rider tire set and keg from a miniatures accessory set.

@OddJob that was Luke. Man I hope he’s ok.

Here is a Datsun 620 from my childhood. That truck brings me mixed feelings. I remember standing up in the cab while my mom or dad drove. The ole arm across the body was the only seat belt. When I got older, we took that truck two hours up to Salina Kansas to hunt. With a topper on at the time, my brother and I would ride backwards in the bed in bean bags, with the guns and ammo, and the birds when we came back. The worst was getting waken early in the morning to go hunting in Salina, eating donuts on the way, and getting sick once the “ride” was over. Dad was not a happy man when we arrived ill, but he kind of set it up that way. Oh the memories. Im the shirtless kid, standing with my cousins that lived a couple blocks away. Behind that broken garage door, sits my first car. 1968 Mustang that I drove through high school.

My dad had a '68 (I think) B-510 back in the mid '80's. He lived on the Olympic Peninsula and would have groups of Japanese tourists taking pictures every time he went into Seattle. It was apparently quite the collector car in Japan, even with miniature Vice-Grips hanging down while clamping two of the brake lines shut...

 

[OddJob]

I had brake line issues as well. Managed to hit about 2 parked cars, trees, stop sign posts,a year in the 3 years I owned it.

Thank you! @OddJob

While on the subject of Datsuns, this has been begging for my attention. I watch Hobby Lobby for deals, and have caught a few. I usually buy two and sell one.
