Dale Jr black #8 die cast

[doozer]

i would have more cars than i do right now, but i have no place to put them.

nice collection tid, even if they are Dale Sr. or Jr. cars. i am impressed. are they all yours?

Thanks. Dad buys most of them, but I contribute some.

That case on the left in the bottom picture has Harvick and more Sr. cars, there is a case of Jr. Busch Series cars, and the wall to the left of the top picture/right of the bottom picture has shelves full of random cars.

my grandfather had a nice collection of cars from years past that i got when he passed away, some worth a substantial amount of money, just sitting in their boxes at my parents house because i have no room for them.

Ours were in boxes for quite awhile, but we finally broke down and bought some shelves and cases for'em... my uncle actually made that shelf that the Sr. cars are in.

a few years ago at the fall race up in Bristol, i decided to make a quick stop by the Kurt Busch merch truck. this was after he announced he was going to Penske and everything was at least half off. i picked up 3 of his cars from the 2004 championship season for a total of 100 bucks. i got a few hats and a hoodie too. it was a nice little haul. i have a few IndyCar replicas as well.

i can't justify spending the money on some of them just so they can sit in a box.

what's the difference between the regular 1:24 scale and the 1:24 scale preffered?

I'm not sure what you're asking... we bought the majority of ours when the company was Action, and they were just the basic car. They also had an Elite series which was much more detailed, but also cost about $40-50 more. I think we only have 1 Elite car. I'm guessing the Elite Series is now called Preferred... just more detailed on the inside of the car with the hoses and lines and so on in the engine plus the hood and trunk teathers and whatnot.

Anyone know where I can find one? I've looked all over the place and can't find them no where other than Ebay....I'm thinking about making an Ebay account to buy one but I'm not sure if I wanna do that....I know they're hard to find but any help would be greatly appreciated

Just got mine yesterday and I must say it's sweeeeeeeeet:dance2:

that's what i wanted to know.

:good!:

Personally, I don't think the Elite/Preferred Series' are worth the extra coin. Once you have them in a case and just look at them from the outside, you can't tell a difference.

i noticed that at least at the NASCAR.com store, they are all the same price, most of them anyway.
