I just found this thread and I love hot rod toys!! The bulk of my collection is slot cars, mostly HO. As I find my pics and take more, I'll post 'em here. 1st up are my reproduction Aurora Thunderjet Hot Rods. These were repros of the Super Modified made by Dash. I took the wings and side pipes off and will put Dash Hot Rod sidepipes and keep the nerf bars.







Now I gotta start looking through this thread to see what else in here!

Here's a Buddy L traveling zoo truck that my father and I just got done modifying. We dropped it around 3/4" and made a wooden bed for it, also in the picture a thimble drome tether car and, a Structo dump truck.

 

I used to love these as a kid. This is the cleanest one I have now:

This is one of my favorite slot cars!! I got this at a toy show years ago. I had to switch out the rear tires to run it, the originals are too dry to use. It hasn't been on a track for years:

I prefer my hotrod toys customized:











All are 1/64 scale.

 

I too love hot rod toys. Check this one out. A friend of mine got it at a flea market. We've all seen this model before but this one has a special decal.

coool thanks

 

I collected a LOT of toys as reference when I was working in the toy industry, but I've slowed down my collecting a lot since I retired. Mine were more open-wheeled race cars than hot rods, but I have a lot of both:





...and a couple of Pinewood Derby cars:



I made those two, but on the rare occasions that I find a nice one at a garage sale, I buy it.

 

I dig the custom slots man, way to cool.
Heres a couple shots of some of mine, not near as custom as your stuff but I love em.

One of the shorter lived HO slot car manufacturers was Riggen. My favorites were the Mr Hot Rod Series

That's a toy? Looks more like a model. Way cool.

This was purchased as a kit. No chassis or tires. I didn't care for the wheels supplied so I replaced them with a "spinner" type wheel. It is supposed to be able to show off the engine under the hood but I chose not to put it in. The hood is hinged and does stay down while running. It also comes with a matching trailer that I will not use.

Do home made "toys" count ?
If so I attach a pic of one of displacement activities.

As far as I'm concerned they do! And that is a very kool one!
