I was into model cars and slot cars. My fave slot was the Ford GT40 (which had just kicked ass at Le Mans). I had ALL the Ed Roth cars, Don Garlitts' Sligshot dragster, Mickey Thompson's salt flat car (the Challenger) and I took my AMT classic model cars and modified them to suit my own personal ideas of what I would like my custom car to be (I still have X-acto knife scars on my hands from chopping tops, hollowing out wheel wells, etc.). My earliest memory of anything similar to a Matchbox car was a 1956 Ford Crown Vic Sunliner that came free in a cereal box when I was 6 years old.
