My mom and dad brought down on their visit to Florida. I just ordered a muffler exhaust for it because this one is missing. My mom said she bought it for me I never played with it. So it has sat in her attic since the early 80s. I believe that's when it came out. Looking at it overall it's in pretty nice condition. And it has the wagon and Its kinda hard to to sell it now! Just wanted to share. It looks like a fun toy however I'm sure my son would break it in about two minutes! Other than a couple scratches from being stored it looks like it's new.

You waited till you got older to play with toys? Interesting, that means all of your toys from then are new and all your toys now are worn out.....:laughing7:

Great condition and more than a toy - I have dug several hot wheels cars while dirt fishing and have a good collection going on.

No I didn't play with it. I cleaned it up and then probably going to sell it on eBay. I think that's the only toy I have left from being a kid. I collected so many worthless baseball cards instead.

IT IS A NICE TOY AND YOU KEPT IT WELL. SOME CHILD WILL APPRECIATE IT SOME DAY. I HEAR YOU ON THE BASEBALL CARDS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO I DONATED A FULL SIZE TRUCK LOAD TO GOODWILL.

Man I wish I bought coins at that age. Can you imagine when all your buddies were laughing at you for buying coins they were buying baseball cards. But nope nope couldn't see the future. I would spend a couple hundred dollars a month in fact I think I just worked so I could buy baseball cards. Luckily my parents did buy me some coins when I was that young. although most of them were the yearly proof sets that are worth like five dollars. But they did buy me this trade dollar but it opens up it's like a locket or something it's cool. And a roll of peace dollars.

I collected comic books and still have 1000's in boxes and sleeved. Wife wants me to get rid of them.

That looks like it's an ERTL scale model. The ones worth big bucks are from the 60's and 70's, but it still looks like you could get a good $50 - $75 on Ebay. (maybe even $100 if you got super lucky)
It's all up to you whether you want to sell it. I know these ERTL vehicles are still fairly popular now, however not as demanding as say tin toys or 60's Tonka toys.
If you save it, it could potentially increase in value, or decrease.
(Personally, I think it makes a great shelf piece!)

I agree with you completely. The only problem is I have no room on any shelf. As it's all loaded with stuff! I think you're still sit on my dresser when I was younger. But my dresser now has a fan on it and about 300 other things.
