Hot Wheels - Custom '69 Chevy Pickup

One of my first reviews of a pickup truck. I found this one along with the Mini Coopers and Steel Flame lowriders that I recently reviewed on this page. I was surprised when I found it in perfect mint condition, with no scratches, at the bottom of a box full of cars. Still looks brand new, as if it just came out of the package. So I'm thankful, and decided to keep this one.

I have to say, I adore the striking bright green on this thing, and the red lining rims. I just have this thing for color variations like these. It's amazing! The front fender is actually metal, making the whole model quite solid. The chassis is so.. shiny! haha It's just bright silver! Seriously, like brand new!

I just researched that there are a few latest models of these that were released in 2012. So I'd probably grab one if I can hunt them down. Wish me luck!

History

I used to collect Hot Wheels models before, especially these 1:64 scale models. When I was growing up as a kid, I used to play with them a lot when I owned a Hot Wheels city set (you know? The ones with the plastic-made roads, with different sets such as the Car Wash set, Car Park set, Police Station set, etc, which could be joined up with all the roads). Oh how I miss those days playing and growing up with those. Then one day as I was near the end of my high school days, I decided to sell my Hot Wheels collection as I needed the money. But my mistake which I regret to this very day, was not knowing the true value of each of my models. And so I sold about 113 1:64 scale models for only RM100. I feel like kicking myself every time I think about that day.

Now I've just grown into the 20's, and I feel proud in starting my Hot Wheels collection again. It's been tough, deciding whether to get into the hobby again. But here I am, doing what makes me happy! And I'm sharing with all you readers here, my collection.
