    Vintage Tonka Cars

    Got these three nice Tonka vehicles, 1960-70ish in a yard sale for $3 each. I learned that these toys are hard to find and those offered online are just in fair to good condition, yet highly priced. Glad to have found them in such a great condition!

    Those cars are in great shape and I think you got them for a great deal at $3.

    Be advised that there are serious Tonka collectors and restorers out there. Even just a part like the frame of a car can be sold online.

    Oh no, the Ebay ones are not my toys. Those are just examples of the same toys offered in Ebay as a comparison of condition and price. Thanks for looking.
