It's the civilian version of the Rallye one, produced to achieve homologation as a "road car". 400 made in 1976 by Bertone

Thanks dsl :smile:

I was not too sure if it was a civilian one that got the Rallye fogs lights or a Rallye that got a civilian paint job :whistle:

Nice catches :smile:

I haven’t found the 131 yet sadly. Nice Rabbit too :grin:

I see there are also 131s in livery and nice sets with the 037 and the transporter too: https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Fiat_131_Abarth

Thanks

I did not saw the 131 with its trnsport truck but i saw its two series friends

I suspect there must be really very few of those 400 131 Stradale road cars left in road-car trim. Most of these probably were stripped of their road-legal equipment right after production and went to rallying competiton for various independent teams/privateers.

ouch.. horrible thought but probably cruel truth..

Bought a bunch of Matchbox cars from the Dollar Store.. i just can"t believe that they have a better/newer selection than Walmart and Toys R US ...

Also bought a said-to-be 1965 Dodge A100 camper van that strangely has a license plate that says 1964 ..

I had to leave all my collections at home in Italy (for now) so let me introduce my first purchases in the new Country ....

Just for info if interested, Oxford Diecast seem to be having a warehouse clearance of old stock into the trade, including in 1:76 some ur-Quattros, S3 Cabrios, and TT coupes - this is their range but showing at normal price. Maybe some cheapies will start popping up in retail outlets/ebay etc??

I just bought the first issue of a new rally partwork, the Lancia Stratos winner of the 1977 Montecarlo Rally :amout:

It’s a model by IXO. I know it has some errors but of course I can’t say no to a rally Lancia, and anyway I find it a good model, especially for 5€ :smile:

There was also the first issue of this new American trucks collection: https://www.deagostini.com/it/collezioni-figures-3d/semirimorchi-americani
But I didn’t buy it also because of space reasons even if I was tempted :grin:

recently got a 1969 Ford F100

a 1966 Pontiac GTO wagon that shouldn't probably even exists..

What is supposed to be the first ever Batmobile but i doubt it was red and looks more like a Cord than the Caddy we have here

1964 GMC Panel that i wouldn't have bought if it wasn't pretty much the only way to have one ( i'm really sure that the Star Wars universe is filled with 60's cars... :roll:

)

1967 1/2 Camaro ? .. it has the sidemarkers AND the 1967 quarterlight window.. which is a fun thing since they took that thing off from the 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 ( my first non-Trans Am Firebird in a while , if not ever ) that i previously bought

Last but not least , Marty McFly's 1985 Toyota Truck , which cost me more than it should, i had to order them from a diecast store in KY , already sold out here

Now waiting for Optimus.. looks a little bit messed up ( maybe look better in real ) but the G1 Transformer fan in me just couldn't resist..

Maybe i should do something before i become the 2nd Canadian with a " Field of Dreams " .. :whistle:

nice..

They remind me of my Franklin Mint models I have. They issued two different series of 1950's cars and one 1960's. The Continental they used was black and they used a 1953 Studebaker coupe in maroon.
