So where are the miniature wing cars?

[held1823]

Seeing the passion several others have for these unique cars, I'm surprised to have not ran across more toy and memorabilia postings. I have a decent sized wing car diecast collection, and I know I'm not the only one who collects them, so where are the photos? A thread showcasing some of the offerings out there would be pretty cool, I think. Am I the only one?

I got something similar called eagle race 1/43 and others  as seen in tote in front of coronet on hoods of both cars.Trying to thin collection down .As no longer have room

A friend at work gave me this old half filled avon bottle last week.  Somewhere there was a thread on them if I remember correctly

I have a couple of closets filled with 1/18 scale & smaller diecasts & models.  I also have a few bigger 1/10 scale versions as seen in the pictures compared to the last 1/18 scale diecast that I purchased... the #71 K&K Daytona that I bought at the Aero Car event at Monster Mopar.

Great stuff! Nice to see them start to come out of hiding. Here are a few of my 1/18 scale Daytonas

1 of 1 prototype that Diecast Deals received from Ertl for final approval. changes made before production included closed headlights, redline tires, black interior, and correct A-pillars.

the muscle machines daytona is a custom piece, made from a regular charger. castline never offered a daytona in 1/18th scale.

Lots of interesting and collectible pieces in that mix. That clear slot car body is the only toy from the links and photos so far that I do not have. I've seen it a few times, but haven't bought one yet. In your bottom left photo, there are three larger scale Daytonas (white, yellow, green) that I've never seen before. Are those wood carvings or?

I remember getting a red SSP "Super Stocker" 'bird for Christmas as a kid, but the wing met with disaster on the school playground. Over the years, I've gathered five of the six colors they came in. I'm missing the orange one, but that color is hard to find on ANY ssp, let alone the 'bird.

The old thread that you linked to was one that I mentioned in my first post. I almost added to it, but didn't want to drag an old one to the front page since interest in it had waned. Wing car items are all that I collect, and I have over 1000 different pieces. I like sharing and exchanging photos of the toys, but do not know how receptive the folks here are to the idea.

Here are a few vintage Daytona model kits.

I have several 1/18 scale wingcars but I'm still trying to find a 1/18 scale black Superbird. I think it was an American Muscle diecast. Anyone have one that they would part with?

[held1823]

There are two options for a black one. The Ertl "Blackbird" car came without the vinyl top, and 402 were made. A later, and more easy to find, release came in Johnny Lightning packaging, after JL was taken over by Ertl. This car is the Ertl casting with a few detail changes, including the vinyl top. There were also two different black chrome cars, one being an early chase piece and the other released by Diecast Collectibles.
