Welcome lurker. Sound like nice cars and neat seeing the prices they cost back then. We need pics......

[bbbentley]

I guess no one is too impressed with the fact I have owned my cars for 33 years and have kept them original.

If you bought them new in 1969 then it would be VERY impressive! Lots of owners have them for many years and most want them original...well,maybe a tad Day2.

Welcome to the posting portion of the site.

Lets see pictures of them!! The L78 seems first on the list!!

Welcome aboard James. Sounds like some nice cars and the fact that you have kept them for many years is also cool.

67 Nova Boy, You are absolutely right!! Would have been nice to have bought them new,but I was only 7 years old when they were made (late 1968). Sorry for not being an 'old timer'(lol). I bought these when I was 18 in 1979. It was the best I could do with limited funds and an unsupportive family. Will post pics when I get software to do so.

Welcome aboard James!
All your cars sound great, especially the H/O Endura L78 car!
Love to see any pics you can share also the T-tag and details of the LB car.
Keep your eyes peeled here for the 499 and other stuff you need as they do show up here periodically, certainly not free but real ones and usually a deal compared to the going rate.
Joining up is cheap too also membership privileges include parts satisfaction for whatever you may purchase from other members.
