New to the Mustang Source Forums. Thought I would see how large some collections are.
I would guess I have around 500 Diecast cars. All sizes. Mostly Mustangs and other muscle cars. Some inexpensive, some not. I attached a pic of the east wall in my office.
What about you?

Nice collection, Brian. Not exactly sure how many I have, use to have more a few years ago, sold several of my 1/18th's. I have no place to put them all. Most of them are 1/64th scale. My wife would not be to pleased if I did put them out as my computer room is pretty much 90% Mustang stuff right now.
This was an earlier thread, Have added a few more since then.

Hey Brian, wonderful collection. I would think I have about 120 or so 1:18 scale cars. That is the only scale I collect. My collection is in 2 parts, my work collection, and my home collection. The work collection consists entirely of Ford based cars, and are in my office at the dealership I work at. Currently there are about 47 different Ford brand cars, Mustnags of course, T-Birds, Harley trucks, and a few Aston Martins, Jaguar, Panoz, Ford RS 200 street version rally, and an S7. I also have 15 GT40 models from Eagles Race.
My home collection has all the other cars I collect, which are mainly exotics, Lamborghini, Ferrari, M-series BMW, Mercedes AMG, Porsche, etc.. I also keep my Exoto Shelby Cobras and GT40's at home, as they are worth too much to have in my office. Again, you have a great collection, and a great area to display them at.

I have close to 100 all different sizes, I don't know how to display them but I have a few ideas. I want to turn my computer/Office room into a display for all the stang Items I have. But Hubby thinks I am nuts. Too Bad, he'll get over it. LOL

I have no idea how many 1:64 scale Mustangs I have; they're all packed away somewhere because I have no room to display them. I have 6 1:24 scale Mustangs at work and 8 at home, and I have about 20 1:18 scale Mustangs at home.
