Of course there are some cars I would LOVE as a model that have never been made as one or never been made at 1:18 like the OG Taurus SHO, Lincoln Mark VII or VIII, 2003-2004 Mercury Marader, Lincoln LS. I've seen a few but they are pricey may wait till Christmas to buy for myself on that one. The one glaring omission from my collection that's not a Ford is a Delorean DMC-12 another favorite of mine. I also really want a 60s Continental to add to the pack. I ordered a 60s Marauder on eBay but it arrived damaged unfortunately. I'd love to get a 1970 Cougar Eliminator that's my favorite muscle car. Every once and a while I treat myself to one. If money was no object I'd have a whole hell of a lot more, I love the attention to detail on these. Of the Fords I have the following:ġ956 Ford Sunliner (2 of these one restored and one distressed was a special 2 pack.)ġ995 Ford GT90 concept (2 of these actually its my favorite car of all time a white and black one) I have them on display in my house in 3 glass cabinets. I have a large collection of 1:18 model cars I have been collecting since I was a kid. He is a Mopar guy so there are lots of other historic Plymouth and Dodge drag and street cars all in excellent condition with the original boxes. He still has a few Fords remaining and tons of GM and Mopar cars including Bill Jenkins and Sox & Martin drag cars.

I got several iconic Ford racers including Parnelli Jones' Ole Bull Baja Bronco and his '70 Trans AM champion Boss 302, three of Ohio George Montgomery's Mustang and Willys gassers, two '64 Thunderbolt drag cars driven by Phil Bonner and Les Richter, the '67 Fairlane Georgia Shaker super stock drag car driven by Hubert Platt, the original '70 F-250 Bigfoot monster truck, the '68 Shelby Trans Am Mustang coupe driven by Jerry Titus, a '66 GT40 MKII in Gulf Blue, several Boss and Shelby Mustangs including a '69 Black Jade Boss 429 which is identical to the actual car I owned back in the mid '70s, an R code 427 '67 Fairlane, a '70 Cougar Eliminator and the '68 Steve McQueen Mustang from the movie Bullitt.

It was rated at 300 hp (224 kW) and was mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. A new engine, the 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE V8, was the standard and only engine initially offered in the Thunderbird. With the early Midland unit, ten screws were used around the circumference of the front housing to hold it to the stamped steel rear half. A friend is selling off his approximately 400 piece collection and I was able to cherry pick what I thought were some of his best Ford pieces. The Thunderbird was redesigned for 1961 with styling that gave the car a unique bullet-like body-side appearance. The ten-screw booster is a description used for the Midland-Ross cast aluminum-bodied version used mid-'61 through '63 and, according to some, very early '64s. I picked up 18 Ford 1/18 scale die casts this past weekend.
