Yes I do collect diecast cars. I keep them in a Curio cabinet in our computer room. They mostly are Rusty Wallace diecast with numerous paint schemes throughout his career. I also have several Davy Allison’s(RIP) #28 Texaco Havoline paint shemes. I also have some NHRA diecast of John Forces funny cars(Castrol), Don “The Snake” Prudhomme MGD top fuel car and a bunch of Larry Dixon’s Top Fuel Miller lite cars.
Add: I also have a small collection of 18 wheelers with various paint schemes & sponsors.

Yup, Im trying to get one of everything, NHRA, Grand Am, Daytona Prototype, IRL, F1, Nascar, Late Model. Just need Moto GP bike and NHRA TopFuel.
I really liked this year’s Jeff Burton car. The Orange was the actual AT&T orange, but when i figured it would be CATerpillar next year, i decided not to.
My favorite is my raced version of the 2001 Chevy Corvette raced by Andy Pilgrim, Dale Jr, Dale SR… (and i cant remember the 4th.) at the Rolex 24 hour @ Daytona

i have 465 die cast cars. i know i do. i went home yesterday after seeing your question and recounted all i have. it’s 465.
which one’s my favorite you ask? i have a few, but to choose one, it’s David Reutimann’s 00 Domino’s 1:24 scale car. the second would be Eric McClure’s 0 Busch Hefty 1:64 die cast car (it almost resembles the General Lee car from the Dukes Of Hazzard.).
there is also a Die Cast car i like, but don’t have would be Jeff Gordon’s with light blue color car with the Loonie Tune’s Bugs Bunny / Pepsi logos.
if anyone of you reads my answer and have the Jeff Gordon’s Bug’s Bunny / Pepsi car to spare, i’ll buy it off of you. i prefer the 1:24 scale, but if you have it in 1:64, that would be okay as well.

Yes I have some and my favorites are, Dale Earnhardt’s Peter Max car from the 2000 Winston that Dale Jr won, a Kevin Harvick first win truck he signed in silver, Dale Jr’s (original) Winston No Bull car from the 2000 Richmond race (#0067), and his All Star Game car from July 2001. I was glad I bought it before the race because after he won it the cars were too expensive.

My favorite is not replaceable.
It is an autographed “Battlestar” Texaco Thunderbird Davey Allison drove his rookie year.This car was a limited production for Texaco distributors only,a Texaco Express Lube was going to throw it away and I took it.Value was in 4 didgits when I had it checked about 5 years ago.

Yes I do have a Nascar die cast collection. Purchase value is about $13-14,000, book value around $32,000 but I haven’t checked that in years. I have 1:64, 1:24, and a few larger. My favorite is a separate collection of every car Dale Jarrett ever drove, plus transporters and other memorabilia. Stopped when he left Yates. It has gotten too expensive to buy since I retired………… thanks for asking… Rocket

I do have some but I do not collect religiously. I currently have three but would like to add a couple more. My favourite has to be Casey Mears’ 41 Target pink breast cancer awareness car that Casey autographed for me at an autograph session. I also have Kevin Harvick’s GM Goodwrench car, just because I loved that car so much and miss it even more. My newest acquisition is AJ’s silver 84 Red Bull Car. I so love that silver car (and the driver is not so shappy either …)

No I don’t have any. I did once build a birdhouse that looked like a NASCAR garage complete with checked flags etc and right next to it on the base I glued a small Kyle Petty #45 Hot Wheels car……and wouldn’t you know it someone stole that car right from my birdhouse garage.
This was awhile back but I still have the birdhouse, (faded) still minus the car.

yes. I have been for 12 years. Between my dad and I, we have to have a couple hundred die casts at least, about half of which are good brands. My favorite is Jeremy Mayfield’s #37 purple KMART/Little Ceasers car in 1996, which I managed to track down and purchase on ebay.

Yes i do……I have a couple dozen or so Harvick 1:24 scale from Goodwrench to Shell, Aol, Oreo, E.T., Resses, Hersheys and more. I even have his truck series diecast from when he first started racing in the truck series before he was in busch or cup, that one is old….As for my fav. one I have a set of #3 Dale Sr. diecast that are the gold limited edition, I really like those so it would be a tie between those and my autographed Resses car….
GO HARVICK & RCR!!!!!

I would, but it’s impossible to find any good ones around here, and I’m too paranoid/lazy to buy them online.
Out of what I have, my favorite’s probably this 1/24th scale Dale Jr. car that Motorspors-Authentics made that I have. They’re worth the $70 you have to pay for the things, that’s for sure.

Yeah. I have my whole bedroom covered in Matt Kenseth diecast. Some 1/24 scales. Some 1/64. My favorite is any diecast with his 2003 championship on it. I also collect newspapers from all his cup wins. I also like his IROC championship car too in the 1/24.

no, but i think it is really cool. If you watched QVC last night, you saw that Jeff Gordon was on, and they had a die-cast car 4 his 2009 racing year, but it was covered. You dont get to see what u r buying until you open the box! How cool is that!! lol

No. I came close to buying some the other day in a parts store but turned out it was the owners personal collection. I have a few NASCAR items though.

i collect 1:64 scale model die-casts – almost all from either team calibre or now action racing collectibles, and as many of those from their top series (e.g. platinum) as possible. i have about two dozen or so dating back to when i contracted “nascar fever” back around 2002/2003. the majority of them are kurt or kyle busch, but as of “racefest fontuckit” a few weeks back, i have at least one first full-year COT from every team in the chase except those from rcr. i couldn’t find the jeff burton merchandise trailer, and kevin harvick, well, i’ve begun to like him a little more, but not yet enough to buy one of his cars. and bowyer, well, that’s another story. i should probably buy all three to complete the set, but the thought of buying a clint-mobile… eeesh.
my favorite of the bunch, tough call. i’ve got kyle’s rookie cars in both busch series and cup, and one of them is autographed. i like the liquid color version of his m&m’s car from this year as well. i’ve got four kurt busch cars (97 and 2), all of which he signed for me a couple weeks ago. i’ve got a 2002 or 2003 number 17 car signed by both matt and robby reiser i like a lot, as well as an autographed david ragan rookie car.
but if i have to pick one i like the most i guess would have to be the special limited edition commemorative set from the 100th race at darlington, 2003. it has two cars in it – the tide car of ricky craven and the rubbermaid car of kurt busch, and they are positioned one slightly ahead of the other at the start/finish line within the plastic. i wish they were the other way around, with the rubbermaid car in the lead, but that wouldn’t be very accurate. i got kurt to autograph it; now i just need to find a way to get ricky craven to do the same and it will most definitely be my favorite.
