QUESTION: What is the most expensive model in your collection?
14/11/2012 7:35 am
One I way overpaid for almost 15 years ago...
It is the FM's 1941 Lincoln Continental, Ford Motor Company Edition. It's not worth anywhere what I paid for it, but I like it anyway. The 2nd would be FM's 1956 Lincoln Continental MK II in white, probably overpriced too. But I love that one, might of paid even more to get it.

My two GMP 1965 Vettes, at $279.95 each, are definitely the most expensive.
However, I got my two by trading mostly older Ertl releases. I couldn't afford to purchase them!

TFM 1967 Corvette convertible with red Swarovski crystals.

That depends...............
Are we talking value of the model as it sits now or the highest price I paid to acquire an individual car?
I think the highest price I've paid for an individual car is about $400.00 for a 1:12 scale Cobra but I have been offered more than that for some of my custom work like my 1965 Sebring winning Chaparral
