Glad I found your site! I'm only into 1:64, but almost everything 1:64. AHL was out during that period of time I wasn't collecting. Diecast collecting seemed somewhat dead at the time, but thank goodness it had just exploded again over the past couple of decades. All the stuff I dreamed of as a kid is out, and I have the pocket money for most of it! I passed on the Regal when I saw it, and wondered if that was going to be a rare mistake going against my better judgement. The Chevy Van is PERFECTION for the classic loves like myself, and the Sierra is another home run. M2 went from being tired out with terrible quality control to running on 8 cylinders and being fully competitive. I'll take all the stock, classic Chevys that they can turn out. I'd like some 60s and 70s cars that haven't been done elsewhere, but we all have wishlists. Mattel is fully aware of the collector market, and has gone nuclear with its attack. Their product lines for Hot Wheels is mind boggling. I've bought the 1/64 Mercedes SEL, but I wish someone would make a stock, showroom W108 Mercedes in 1:64 scale. Thanks for sharing these finds.
I have a few AHL models, they are hard to find in the UK, I have never seen that Ford Tanker before, if I had, I would have bought it, I do have a killer Stanley Tool yellow Mack truck and a Hersheys Mack truck from different years by AHL. I agree, they are well made and worth the money. I just got hold of 3 premium combat medics at mainline prices, so I switched the bases, with nicer livery mainline versions. Its not a straight swap, as there are some differences in the casting, but I made it happen, with some filling and cutting. I have only been able to get one M2 G10 van as yet, the Competition Cams 4x4 version, but I did get two. I hope to find other versions, but its not looking like I will find anymore, here in the UK.
That Regal is nice very close to the Racing Champions version. I bought 1 in the late 90’s or early 00’s at Biglots. No luck finding M2 trucks in any local stores.
I quite like the 1:43 HW, but they are quite pricey, none have shown up here yet, the orange one interest me, what car is that?. Thanks for bringing these to my attention, I agree with your cash value thoughts on diecast. I open my stuff like you, as resale has little interest for me, but I don have some rare stuff, I could sell if things get tight, but I would never find them again.

I liked the video. Loved the vans. I'm into mostly "nerd" cars and buses. I subbed.

Please do some 1/18 models
