Welcome to Toy Car Collector's site of collectible vintage toy cars.
My name is David Williamson and I share your love for Hot Wheels, Lesney Matchbox, Topper Johnny Lightnings, and any other toys made in the 1960's to the late 1970's.  I have been a collector since I was eight years old back in 1966.  My interest in toy cars began to grow again in 1982 when Mattel introduced Hot Wheels Real Riders and Super Heroes.  

The mailed version of this list was first published in July of 1991 and the web site started in 1995.

To see all the toy cars I have for sale right now you can choose from the menu titles to go to the name brands that you are interested in.  I also publish and mail a monthly printed list.

Once you find something you are interested in
just pick up the phone and call to order and pay by Pay Pal, Visa, Master Card or Money Orders.

Do you have questions???

4/23 I just spent 7 days at the Hot Wheels Nationals convention in Dearborn, Michigan.  Conventions are a really great place to meet new friends and share the hobby of collecting Hot Wheels and other car related things.  There are always lots of cars to buy as well.  For me this was my 43rd convention since 1991.  I just can't get enough of them and hope to go to many more in the future. 
4/16 I am looking at a nice collection of Redline Hot Wheels this week and hope to bring it home and post some of them here.  Keeping my fingers crossed for early 68's and nice blister packs.
4/9 added 9 models to the 1971 Redline Hot Wheels selections
4/6
added to the 1968 selections for Custom Eldorado, Custom Volkswagen and Ford J-Car
4/2
added to the 1978 and newer Hot Wheels selections.  This weekend I went to a local toy show where a long time collector was selling all their 1978 and newer Hot Wheels.  I picked up a lot of really nice models.  For instance I picked up the 1986 Race Ace, 5 colors of the Mustang Cobra including the rare Blue color, a Blue Hot Bird and 4 colors of the '56 Hi-Tail Hauler.  I find it interesting that pretty much all Hot Wheels up to 1985 were very cool.  Later in the 80's and pretty much all the 1990's and all the way to 2007 there just is not the level of cool in the cars that Hot Wheels made.  I think they started to get back on track in 2007. 
3/31 added to the 1968 Hot Heap selections
3/30 added 12 Redlines in Blister Packs to the 1974 to 1977 selections from a collection of 60 Redline Blister Packs that just came in from a very long time collector who acquired most of his cars in the early 80's, these are super nice and I am hoping to be able to get more in the future from him
3/28
added 12 Redlines in Blister Packs to the 1970 Part 2 selections
3/21 added 6 Redlines in Blister Packs to the 1969 selections
3/19 added 12 Redlines in Blister Packs to the 1968 and 1969 selections.  Also I made arrangement to purchase a nice collection of about 60 blister packs, some to add here and some for my collection.  I usually find my Redlines in package at the twice annual conventions but lately the offerings of blister packs there have been small, over priced or in not great conditions.  Last convention I think I got 6.  I prefer minty packages and cars.  Would sure like to find a stash of 68 Customs in Blister packs....  
3/16 spent the last two days breaking and un-breaking my computer.  I wanted to install more memory, and upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit.  While removing the old memory chips I did something, don't know what but the computer would not start and there was a trace of something burning in the air.  I have been assembling my own computers since 1977 and never before broke anything.  Then while removing the CPU I bent some of the pins.  I was able to straighten them with the edge of a razor blade, magnifying glasses and magnifying light.  Naturally my first few hours of attempting Windows installation did not go well but eventually I got it going.  It is always difficult to fix anything with the upgrade versions of Windows rather than the preferred full version or the restore disks that come with a ready made computer system.  I enjoy choosing all the parts myself and putting them together.  The system is fully functional now.
