Are there any Diecast viper collectors here?

DiecastViper

This is only my second time to the site and first post. I am a diehard viper collector and was looking to see if i am just missing posts on viper collectibles here or is stuff like that not posted here? PLMK and pint me in the right direction. I just love to talk about these silly toy cars since i don't have the $$ to get the real thing. The viper has been my passion since it was first shown in the cars shows back what 14 years ago? I was just 13 then and the desire for the car just grows more and more as the years go by. My goal it to have one by the time i am 40. 13 more yeas to save. Thank you all for the time and please point me in the right direction. David

Viperclub.org has a section specifically for collectibles. Not much activity in this area generally at this site.

Good luck on reaching your goal.

I gave up trying to collect everything. Got too expensive. I've found that I'm much more happy buying common 1:18 cars and painting the color combos I like. in the end I know it's rare because I made it.

Finally collected all the Autoart 1/18 Vipers. Thank you Ebay.

I have a fairly decent collection of various cars but in recent years I have only been collecting hand built Ferrari models.

Craig is right...way too many too try to collect them all.

I've been collecting only the black RT/10 (Gen I) cars. This way, when I'm not in the garage, or driving my real one, I still get to admire her. [img]/images/graemlins/thumb1[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/dude[/img]

Sweet!!! This would certainly be the sharpest paint scheme on an SRT I would imagine that Dodge may do one day!!! [img]/images/graemlins/thumb1[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/thumb1[/img]

$10 is a deal. I want that one but have not found it yet for under $20. I keep watching at BJ's and Costco for it. I did get my black SRT at BJ's for $9.99

I only collect 1:50th and smaller. I have about 450 - 500 different models. Probably would have been a good down payment on a real viper LOL. Thanks for the replys.

There is that one guy who sold one of his hotwheels and bought a GTS.

Chris Marshall I knew him before when he was "just a diecast collector" He now collects 1:64th vipers along with his 1:1 scale viper. Very cool guy! TTYL, David

I have a pimp x-mas ornament of a Viper with Santa...don't remember who got it for me though lol.

Otherwise I have a ton of model cars, used to collect, only 2 Vipers. Have a bunch of Franklin Mints and now that I think about it damn that was alot of money (Franklin Mints). All packed in the garage, I was planning on building nice mirrored racks to go around one of the rooms for them but never got to it. Figure if I get a new place this summer, want to find one with a game room that I could do that to.

edit - fuck this is a 5yr old thread, that has to of set a record for a thread bump

LOL. Well, maybe the guy is a lot closer to getting a real one now that 5 more years has passed!!
