My in-laws are having a baby and since we have almost all car names in the family  I thought a cool gift for him would be a car for each car name person - and one of the dogs (Porsche). 

I’ve been on eBay, Mercari, the googles, and I can’t find a good mix and match source. Any leads here or any sellers?

Granted, some of these will be hard to find, but:

Devin

Audi

Dana (badging only)

Ford

Cooper

Tucker

Shelby

Eleanor (71/3 or 67 mustang — Gone in 60 Seconds)

Elise

Mallory (badging only)

Porsche

Devin, Tucker, and Dana will be tough. I found some MSD branded but no Mallory. I'm surprisingly light on Shelby, but I have Ford (Torino even), Eleanor, Elise, and Porsche:

I was just cleaning up my collection today to post a bunch up for sale. Let me keep digging.

!! Very cool!

I have leads on a few of them if you don’t find them:

I got one of these for my little five month old Mallory for Christmas. Unfortunately it has rubber tires so she can only eat at the packaging for now.

It looks like I could come up with a Dana 18 wheeler, though I’m not sure I want to spring that much for it https://www.ebay.com/itm/Racing-Champions-DANA-100-Anniversary-2004-Diecast-Plastic-Truck-L2/303665022417?hash=item46b3d885d1:g:I3YAAOSwyrBfRUgk

 

And a possibility for Tucker

I really thought I could find a Dana-sponsored Nascar truck, but apparently not in 1/64th scale. Here's a big one though: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nascar-Super-Truck-Series-1-24-Die-Cast-Truck-20-Victor-Reinz-Wix/233837375338?hash=item3671cb2f6a:g:mEcAAOSwePdf6N-A

 

Edit: okay, I'm not crazy, they do exist. Just hard to find. This one is part of a large assortment, so that probably won't help you though.

Hot wheels currently has these on the shelf.  I found half a dozen at Target two days ago.

Audi, Ford, Cooper, Shelby, Elise, and Porsche should be easily available at any big box stores that sells Hot Wheels. I just picked up an Audi, Ford, and Porsche last week on sale for $0.89/ea. I saw a Cooper and Elise and maybe a Shelby within the last couple weeks. The harder ones to find should be easy enough to find on eBay. Maybe start a saved search on eBay that will automatically send you notification when one is listed?

Hey, so uh, I won that large collection of nascar trucks on ebay. I would be more than happy to give you the Dana truck if you want it. Let me know and we can work it out once they ship it to me.

Well tonight I finally shot off a long-ago promised slot car to Javelin along with my return address for any little vehicles that might want to live in the rust belt. I’m looking forward to the bomb too. 

They had a sonogram today and the baby is maybe two months from being here so once I get my mail it will be time to be serious about finding a Tucker. Still not sure about how to handle the Devin though. Maybe modeling clay

Nice! I'm already hassling my family about "did you check the mail yet??" for Indy' "Nub" Guy's stuff.

 

I don't know when the shower will be but it can't be long now so I bit the bullet and started buying up some stuff. I got a Tucker Torpedo for $8 from eBay yesterday. There's a Mallory car hauler on eBay I have my eye on, too. If I get that then little boy car cousin is getting the Corvette we already got for Mallory. I have searches saved for Devin cars, but nothing has come up yet. Years ago there was like an H.O. scale Devin. I shoulda picked it up then.

 

Also, I'm at post 999 now.

Whoa, Indy "Nub" Guy! You sent me the whole showroom! Very nice!!

Maybe they'll surprise us all and name their boy Gladiator, in which case I'm already set!

Current plan is to get the girls' silver nail polish out and turn one of those GT500s into "Eleanor" :)

Sorry, Javelin, I feel like I didn't really participate by only sending the one, now (plus random wire nuts I found on my floorboard)! :P

You have a real Eleanor coming to paint yellow.

Niiice. Eleanor is the future child’s sister so it’s only right that he gets both versions :)

Having a hard time finding if they made any toy Devins.  I have a full sized one in the shop but that doesn't help.
