Decided to pad the stash at HL before the coupon went away and while the sale was on. Been wanting all of these for a while, just never pulled the trigger. Wanted a Foose truck or two, but they didn't have any at the store I visited.

Picked up a few things today. 29 Ford and supplies from HL and the LHS.

A complete unstarted 66 GT350H off of FB Marketplace during lunch for $10 ( only a two minute walk from work).

And supplies from the Dollar Store. Not a bad haul today for $45.

Later-

Nice models...and are they sitting on the trunk lid of a third generation Mazda 3...with a manual? Thank you Mazda, for being like that.

Scored a load of nos resin and detail parts from a local from fb marketplace, and another load of rebuilders/parts cars from a local collector, he hates early cars so I get these fairly cheap!

there is work involved to get these though, I have to sort and re-stack through piles of bins to find them.

Yes, 2016 S Grand Touring. One of the few instances of the top trim level vehicle being available with a manual in recent history. You can still get a manual in the new Premium trim, but only in the hatch. And the dealers don't seem to be ordering many. When I got mine, one dealer had at least one manual sedan in each available color on the lot.

Someone on some board had that emblem as an avatar, and I found an Etsy shop that sold the stickers.

Very nice.
I had a top trim 2013 Elantra Hatchback  manual a few years ago. I have a 15 Mazda 3 hatch now, but, sadly, a slush box. But it’s my 106 miles four days a week commuter, so it’s ok.

Anybody else get an "AMT" '64 Belvidere packed this way? The body, red taillights, Slant 6 runner, exhaust and Slant 6 transmission runner along with the interior floor pan, door panels and dash were all unbagged with the flippin tires tossed in on top. The chassis, suspension, V-8, and other bits along with the chrome and clear were bagged.

Parts box of built miscellaneous trucks....

Found at the bottom of the box.....AMT Chevy 1500 SS 454 (stock wheels not used) and the AMT Ford Lightning (not the current release as it has the correct tailgate...haven't found the drivers side headlight lens yet)
