Guy had a whole table with tiny cars, tanks, planes & boats

They have a 1988 copy write on the bottoms and it looks like a L98 to me

Pretty good shape for 20+ year old toys.

$1.00 for that C-4? A bit overpriced I think. They are out there and it's a buyer's market. Interior looks like it's a bit lacking, non-factory trim stripe, rear hatch is tinted a bit much. You didn't mention how many miles but it's amazing what prices people hang on cars theses days - and sometimes unknowing buyers shell out the foolish money and buy anyway! That's OK though, makes mine worth more if that type of price keeps getting accepted! But I would have kept looking!

I used to have a bunch of those. I know I still have a couple. The guy on the commercials who talked really fast was so cool when I was a kid.

Found this at the grocery store. Had to take paint thinner and clear some ugly tribal patterns and the words "Racing Queen" off of it (guess they think a c4 is a girls car?), and it cost three times as much as a real hotwheels, but I have my car up on my desk next to the 89 batmobile.

Definitely a "small" block. (Did I really say that?)
