I went to an Antique Show today, toy vendor was there, and remembered to bring some of his nicer stuff for me, as I was looking for AMC-related slots. He had a whole box full of Jammers cases ( the clear ones wal-mart used to sell before they pulled them due to a lawsuit ). Anyway, I wound up buying 6 slot cars, a Javelin, a Willys truck and car, and a few others as you'll see below -
A shot of all 6 at once.
Here's a picture of a Lesney car trailer someone has converted to use with slot cars. has the rubber tires and rims off vintage Aurora type slot cars. Nicely done!
Here's a cool Tyco car, not sure of make or year, got to be a real early Tyco slot car, on the trailer. The other Tyco is the big black with flames Willys car. The milk truck is a hard-to-find item, got it for $40, he also had two vintage slot tow trucks, but at $80 apiece I decided to hold off. Seen them go much higher on Ebay, but had other items to buy today, so left them for next trip perhaps.

The 41 Willys trucks make some on the nicest street rods I've ever seen... Done correctly, they are awesome! Same for the coupe...
Jerry, Do tou have any of the AFX Matadors?

Hi AMC_Gremlin_GT,
I really like the car on the trailer. The trailer looks like the matchbox #43 Pony Trailer base.
They did a good job on that.
Thanks for sharing.
