  • Nylint "Do It Best" Home Improvement Semi Truck and Trailer new in box. The truck's cab is made out of plastic and pressed steel. The trailer is all pressed steel. The side of the trailer reads DO IT BEST home improvement products, Best Quality, Best Value, Best Selection. The side and front of the cab reads DO IT BEST ALL ACROSS AMERICA. I purchased this example from the 'Do It Best', Roselle (Illinois) Lumber Company on Irving Park Road in the late 1990's. There is a special vertical Roselle Lumber magnetic business card attached to the front of the trailer. This almost qualifies as a private label toy, never removed from its original packaging.

  • Produced by RC2 Collectibles in 2005, the 1971 Dodge Hemi Rod Shop Challenger SS/DA 1:18 scale diecast model car is part of the Supercar Collectibles series of custom, limited edition cars.  This MOPAR diecast model is a true-to-scale replica of one of the cars owned by Gil Kirk's famous Rod Shop. The Rod Shop was a well known Speed Shop in the Columbus Ohio area.  In 1971, Gil Kirk and Jim Thompson got together with Chrysler and formed an all Dodge race team. The scope of the team was considerable, participating in many of the sportsman classes and Pro Stock. The highly-detailed model features an opening doors, trunk, and  hood, steerable front wheels, and a beautifully detailed interior and chassis. The dimensions of the car are approximately L-10.5, W-4, H-3 inches. The window box dimensions are L-13.75 x W-6.5 x H-5.75 inches. The car is still in its original packaging. Never displayed and the box only shows minor storage wear. A must have for true collectors!
  • Replacement Battery Cover for the Marusan Cadillac This listing is for a tin replacement battery box cover for the battery operated version of the Marusan Cadillac. The cover is often found missing from the Cadillac cars since the attachment is not permanent.  As you can see, this new cover fits perfectly and looks great! A side by side comparison shows very slight differences between the two covers. My replacement has a larger piece of electrical board installed and the tongue latch is a bit longer for a better hold to the car. We prime the cover before finishing it with an automotive lacquer that matches the Marusan black color. The painted cover is then given a final polish. Just remove the cover from the packaging and install it on your car. Absolutely no disappointments with this part!

  • Yonezawa Champions Racer Replica Box, Agajanian This is a brand new, high grade replica box for the large Champions Racer #98 car or the Agajanian Racer of the same size. A good friend lent me his pristine original box to take dimensions and photograph the image. As you can see, the artwork is flawless and crisp. I added a bit of distress to this example so that it would look more age appropriate to the car. (Car is NOT included and is NOT available for sale at this time. It is shown for clarity and to demonstrate fit inside the new box.) Much attention to detail was employed in the creation of this replica, such as the exact box dimensions, folded seam lines for all panels, the return legs for stapling, the correct image size, border reveal and so much more. The last 4 images are of a straight forward crisp box with now additional detailing or aging. I'll be happy to age and distress upon request. As you can see in my photos, the box looks fabulous when displayed with the Champions Racer.(not included) And because the box fits the car perfectly, it's an excellent bit of protection for moving or storage. Even if you don't have the car, the box is an excellent display piece! Very few original boxes exist and seldom show up for sale. When they do show up, they're almost as costly as the cars themselves. I only have a few of these fine reproductions available so don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed!
