I have added a few 993s to my collection as of late. Much easier to tell the wife you just purchased a GT1 when it's on a slightly smaller scale.

Nice collection, where did you source the 993 RSCS model (White Car Pic 4) Have been looking for a 993 with a full clubsport wing package for along time.

Nice! I would have to say that I have more 993s than anything else in my collection.
Love your real one bye the way.

I collect old Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. I like the rarer muscle cars from the first year run from Mattel. Here's a few that I have pictures of...

Space is always an issue... I need to buy a new case as I can't fit any of my recent UT 993 purchases in. I like the quality of the CMC models:

That is some vintage stuff. I had a lot of the older cars when I was a child. My idea of fun back then was blowing them up.

Thanks for sharing.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
You have some pretty significant cars there. I can understand why you would need space as you play in the big leagues. I agree about CMC. Very nice. Dare I ask where your significant other allows you to keep them?

Check out Replicarz if you haven't already. They are a pleasure to deal with and have a good selection.

I've been admiring that AR Cab diecast since you first posted it! If you are interested in selling...PM me!

I can't find any online...if you don't want to sell, maybe give me the model # or something off the box that might help my search?

Would you or anyone else be interested in the ultimate Matchbox Porsche 911?????

It's the RARE gold metal bodied red striped tire 911 given out to the top selling salespeople at Mattel back in 1974. Only a few were produced and we have one that we'd like to sell.

I have a Martini & Rossi 935, but one of those Tamiya models that you have to assemble.

Around Christmas seems the appropriate time to tell the story of my first Porsche.

Your story sure brings me back. It's funny how many of us can share a similar tale of our childhood. I used to trash most of my cars, but I always drew the line with my Porsches. Those cars could take me away for hours.

I don't need to tell you what a wonderful Mother you have.

If you haven't already done so, I recommend that you build it. Taking the time to disconnect from your daily life once in awhile can do wonders.
