Found a 1968 Chevy Nova and probably enough money to pay for it.

Also 2 hearts, a bullet and a piece of some kind of lock in the park.

The larger heart has Sheila engraved on it and the small one was a piece of
a locket i believe. It has an anchor and USN on it. No doubt it probably belonged
to a sailor's sweet heart.

Show better pics of the Nova. If it's one of the older Hot wheels with red line tires you may very well have found a great score worth much more than all the other stuff combined.... Here is a 67 Camaro for reference. But.. keep in mind too that most of them have been reproduced in recent years. I don't know how to tell the difference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-ORI...85124?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item461d0cbe44

Thanks NHB, as you can see here it does have red line tires. But probably a reproduction because underneath
is stamped a copyright "2003 Mattel, Inc.

Nice finds and great color for a Nova of that year.
Thanks for looking NBY. Yeah it is a nice color. Wish I had a blow up size setting in my driveway. It'll make my driveway look pretty. :laughing7:

Bummer. I see one majoy difference that stands out right away too between that and the originals. The old ones have a bright Silver colored metal base and the rivets are different. Cool car though. I agree a real one would be cool to have. I happen to have a real 67 Camaro in the garage. Fun stuff.

You're fortunate to have one. Back in '74 a friend and I used to run around Yuma, Az and San Diego and all in between in a '69 Camaro SS 396. It was clean as a whistle inside and out. Yellow exterior w/black interior and convertible top. We thought we were pretty cool driving around in that. At least we felt cool; even in 115 degree weather. It was his car, but I drove it almost as much as he did. Sometimes we'll swap cars to impress the girls we dated. I had a 67 Mustang.
Now look here NHB, you got me going on my old and more careless days.:laughing9: Thanks for the info on these hotwheels.
