I have a few of the green ones from the late 80's early 90's I forget which, mine are green.

Hot Wheels Deuce. Bet that is easier to park!

I used to make display cases and go to the national toy shows about ten years ago hto wheels is still pretty big business. I only have a couple hundred left in my collection. I keep getting rid of more of them. I prefer GMP myself. I have a beautiful pre-production '69 GTO Judge from one of last shows I went to.

Looks like mine. Green body tan tops. But its a M34

, so I thought I would rectify this oversight.
I found this vintage 1983 Hot Wheels Troop Convoy on ebay about a month before I recovered my deuce and had to have it. It cost me a whopping $2.
The only beef I have is it's not as detail-correct as I'd like it to be. It's got fuel tanks on both sides, no exhaust stack, and the drive shafts are on the wrong side of the diffs. (I know, I'm picky) I'm toying (pun intended) with the idea of getting another one and making a bobber out of it just for S&G.

Actually, that truck would not have had an upper exhaust as it is an M34 Reo. I own about 5 of those.
