Tomica's Inglourious Basterds

I had always assumed that these six Tomica cars are the oldest in my collection. For as long as I can remember, they suffered from catastrophic corrosion. The other trait they all shared-- they're all two door mid-70s Japanese coupes.

    @josh: Sorry, I threw them away after taking the pictures. They kinda look like health hazards, don't they?

    Was the Skyline 2000 GTX with a rear hook? I miss the one I was having when I was a kid.

    @Anon: Yes! The hook is for towing trailers. Because what else would you do with a Skyline?

    Look so close to the original cars.
    Rusty and used I'm glad you through them away as they might give you a headache trying to restore them and you sound like you wouldn't cope with a ache in the brain
