Thanks! I'm gonna make a few more soon as I get more wheel sets, pm me your addy and I will send ya one.
The first 2 cars were originally Corgi castings, and I was so glad when Hot Wheels dropped the original Corgi castings.. The 348 Corgi casting they first used was even worse. Here are a few examples in the 2nd post. http://ferraridiecast.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=129
Todd-----The stores down here are loaded with them, let me know if you want me to pick some up for you..
I have a loose one available... and willing to trade for loose or carded red 575 GTC or anything else I don't have...
Todd - I have 3 that I'm about to return... including one with the variation of the missing "Ferrari" tampo on the engine cover... I'd be happy to trade..
It's funny how so many HW's Ferrari's have goofy little errors or rare variations. Here are a few common errors and variations. FE red 156 #2 or #36 on side (36 harder to find) / vari Silver 575 GTC rear wing loose / error Blue 512m Racer big and small 6 on door / vari Yellow GTO no logo on nose / variation error Red 575 GTC wheel vari (10 spoke htf) vari 512m hunt metal and black base variations (Blk VHTF) /vari and the list goes on...and on...
The 512m hunt black base variation is my favorite by far! I also really like these two which I'm currently trying to get. -Yellow '04 360 "Heat Series" w/ PR5's variation -Black '06 430 Spider w/ black int variation I just traded for these two variations yesterday... 250 GTO w/ painted vents variation and 250 LM w/ silver base variation.

I never even looked at the base on my yellow 250 lm's tell you mentioned it. I looked and have one of each...the other being black.
I like the painted vents variation! Picked up an Orange Go-Kart yesterday and finally found the F430 challenge mystery car which was awesome. Still keeping my eyes open for the new spyder variations.
Sweet! Ya I didn't know about it either until another collector offered to trade it to me. I believe the black base is the normal variation and the silver base is harder to find.
Nice score! Ya, I've been looking for the painted vents vari for a while now and finally just decided to trade for one. Now I'll probably start finding them everywhere!
All I have left to get out of those five is the Yellow '04 360 w/ PR5 variation and the Black 430 Spider w/ black interior variation. Hope to get the Yellow 360 next week...still haven't found the Black interior 430 tho.
Now that yall have brought the bottom variations to my attention I'll have to pay even more attention. I can't wait until my parents finally move into their home so I can rumage through my HW's in storage.
I remember when these were originally put out by Hot Wheels. I had bought the 328 GTS and the Porsche castings from a collectibles store when all the Corgi Castings had been released. That was back in '96. That is what started me collecting. I was up to more than 2 or 3 thousand in my collection. But I collected more than just Hot Wheels then. But another collector pissed me off in Wal-Mart one morning, so I sold everything off. I didn't think at the time to keep all the Ferraris, Lambos and other exotics. I have slowly been getting them back for the last 3 years. Here is what I need for my Project - 288 GTO - Red & Yellow 250 GTO - Red FXX - Red, Yellow & Black Any White Ferrari Any Green Ferrari If anyone has any of these, Hold on to them, don't go out of your way to buy anymore unless you want to. I have a bunch of extras that I will get posted when I get my office straightened out.
