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've got 2800+. There are 400+ Mustangs in my collection. I'm a light weight compared to some guys - I'm pretty sure JK's collection is double what mine is.

I've only got about 20 total
All of them are Mustangs, GTs, Camaros, and Corvettes.

My uncle has well over 1,000. Most of his are exotics and rare cars

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.

I collect almost exclusively 1/18th and 1/64th Mustangs. Almost time to display them, once the basement is finished next month. Pictures to come soon.
