My Original Hot Wheels and their replacements!!!

Hello! Welcome to my memories. These cars actually belong to my brother, Jerry and I. I had to disclose this to avoid a lawsuit... When I went to college, I took our cars with me because of our youngest brother, Gordon. It was kind of selfish, but Jerry and I raced them a lot, but were very careful not to hurt them too bad (except for our very first ones, which I have to admit that I painted them when they got chipped up) and I was afraid that Gordon (he was a lot younger) would smash them up if I left them behind. I am very glad I did this because I wouldn't have them today if he would have inherited them. At some point, Gordon left his cars and all of our track (which included the Flying Circus box that we stored the track in) at a friends house. He played there a lot so didn't bring them home all the time. Well, they had a fire in their basement and all his cars and our track was destroyed. So, I feel I saved our cars from certain annihilation! Unfortunately, I stored our cars in a metal box, stacked on top of each other... It is odd that some of the cars remain in great shape and others were utterly trashed. My goal is to get a mint exact color replacement for every original car that Jerry and I had. I have cars to trade if you have a better example than the one I have pictured.

Classic '32 Ford Vicky (Jerry let it smash in to a brick... Well, we had the race track setup on my grandpa's garage roof, so the car was moving kind of fast. We needed the brick (and tape on the track joints) to hold the weight of the track, so it didn't slack when the cars went down. He was holding a pillow in front of the brick, but the car went right under the pillow. It was my favorite car at the time. I tried bending the fender back, but didn't want to break it off.)
