The metallic green Silhouette was a bad ass car.

I have one of those.

I have well over 1000 Matchbox and Hotwheels cars, most in those cool vinyl Matchbox cases. I know that as a kid I defaced a few Matchbox by painting them but I have so many that are still used but original. I have been trying to find out how much they are worth as I'd like to get rid of them.

I also have a bunch of the original GI Joes and things like the Fire Truck and others that all still work.

Trying to find out were I go to get a good price and not get ripped off.

There's tons of Matchbox on e-bay, it'll give you a ballpark figure of how much they are worth. Also check out website as well as this one. These sites have tons of info, some stuff I didn't know about and I've been collecting Matchbox for over 50 years.

Great! Do you happen to have any of the old original Matchbox models when it was the Lesney Co.? They’d be worth something in the right locale.

We got all our Matchbox and Hot Wheels at Ed Schock’s Toy & Hobby Shop. It was heaven for kids. Ed also had the Estes rockets with the solid propellant. And a great selection of Revell plastic model warships.

All of which met their explosive demise in the drainage ditch after being shot up by BB guns.
