Hot Wheels #11 Mountain Dew Stocker

[darkred87T]

I was up visiting with the Grandparents today (50th B-day party for my aunt). Well today before we left, I got sucked into helping my father fix the garage door and in the midst came across this. It used to be mine and I must have left it there when I was little. Pretty cool I thought:

I have one of those too. Here's how I found mine. I was looking at a Regal in the boneyard, must have been at least 10 years ago. Like everybody else I was searching the back seat for pocket change and there amongst the trash was #11. I think mines in better shape. I'll post a pic when I get home. I couldn't help but think that some Dad bought his son a minature version of his car or that maybe the kid wanted to be like Dad. I cry every time I pick up a HotWheels price guide. I wasted a lot money when I was kid. I cant think of how many of them I destroyed.

Mine was a daily driver, Lol. It was made in 1983 and the driver's name was Darrel Waltrip. I guess I have too much time on my hands or something but I find this stuff interesting. Here is one on ebay in perfect shape:

Here's mine. Its a little faded. Green on one side and kind of blue on the top and other side. The only other real Regal diecast I have in my collection is a Racing Champions Richard Petty Regal from 96. Ertl made a few DW #11 Dew cars too.

It looks like yours is in better shape and with chrome wheels. Mine has gold. Here's an ebay link to another version of it:
