anyone have any of these matchbox cars?

Anybody ever seen one of these? the grill looks like a 70 Challenger and so does the rear end. but the side view looks more like a 71 Charger (notice the louvers in the rear quarter window) it has a 1970 Mattel date on the bottom. Is is also a Hotwheels. Just wondering cause I picked it up at an antique mall last weekend for $2.00

I have one also and a variation of the one posted, it has a solid center section.No rebel flag.

Thought I remember matchbox making a pink Charger funny car that the body lifted up?

Found this on Feebay.

Yes. I have several variations of each. There is also a PC Dixie Challenger that is minus the Stars &Bars on the roof. That Chally with the plastic roof has known several incarnations, as well.
I like the pink funny car better than the original Orange Peel. That one is in sweet shape, is it restored?

Looks original.

I'm pretty sure there's a Red Rider in a box in the basement, but I never liked those exaggerated models.

I love Red Rider & Cosmic Blues!

here's all my orig one's from when i was a kid.... i have all the newer one's that i buy upstairs, in a big old trunk. i usually only pick up the muscle cars now.. not all the funky lookin one's.

wow, your collection looks just like mine before i gave them away. many of the same cars too (like that gold pull back thing).

fwiw, they aren't worth much unless they are in mint condition with it's original box.

I have an oddball 3D series blue 1970 Dodge Daytona with orange stripes and a 22 on the side. Still in the box.

Here is a picture of some of mine.  The Thundershift 500 track was really hard
on cars back in the day.

I never went for the unrealistic looking models from Matchbox,Hot Wheels or Johnny Lightning, I always wanted my cars to look like the ones onthe street or TV.

Im also guilty of losing my collection to hammers, But I also would throw them as hard as I could against a concrete wall and assess each impact as to the realism of a collision.
