Chevron Cars on eBay

eBay.com is the largest online auction site in the world. It serves as a great marketplace for individuals to auction off and buy goods. eBay is also a great place to locate rare items that are hard to find.

Due to the great demand for Chevron Cars, many collectors use eBay to find the toy cars that they want to add to their collection. Currently, there are about 117 Chevron Cars listed for sale on eBay. Many of the Chevron Cars on eBay are Special Edition Breast Cancer Awareness Cars, Retired Cars and Out of Stock Cars. Although some opening bids start as low as $.99, we’ve seen some Chevron Cars sell for thousands of dollars. A recent auction for the exclusive Autopia Gold Dusty Car sold for $2,146.21 with 41 bids. You can view the Gold Dusty eBay listing here (screen capture of original eBay page): Gold Dusty sold on eBay.

If you want to start a collection or give your current collection a boost, it is good to look for ‘lots’ or 'bundles' of cars. limited-bundleAs with all online auctions, it can be difficult to verify the authenticity of an item. To avoid ‘fakes’ always do your research, and be sure to ask the seller questions.

The Retired, Special Edition and Limited Edition Cars will never be made again once they're sold out. The good news is that several of the out of stock cars will be produced this Summer, so get ready to complete your collection. If you want to be notified about new products and back in stock items be sure you sign up for the Chevron Cars Newsletter.

In the meantime, if you are looking for a specific car to add to your collection, just go to eBay and type Chevron and the name of the car in the search box (such as: Chevron Patty).

William's Cool RV Idea

william-1-icon.jpgA very fine new car idea comes from William in Oregon. His Rodny RV is the perfect vehicle to drive across the great North American continent in with comfort and style. The eyes are classic standard issue Chevron Cars eyes, and the mouth has been drawn in perfect proportion too.

Best of all, William has thought of all the important details. The air-conditioner will come in handy across many southern US states. The best touch though is his portable Freez Boy Cooler! What is more important to an RV besides an engine that works? This is someone automakers around the world could learn from.

We'd love to see your idea turn into reality and thank-you for sharing this precious drawing with our many blog readers.

Thomas' Super Collection

thomas1-icon.jpg Thomas in California has been collecting Chevron Cars since he was little. He has cars which he got from states across the country. He has all the cars except Davey Driver. His siblings are also collectors (no word about if they ever fight about the cars . . .).

Thomas is most thankful to his grandparents for getting him the Chevron Cars and always adding to his collection.

Thomas writes: "I have some ideas of cars that I would like to see you make. They are a mail truck, an armored bank truck and a grocery truck. I think those would be fun. I used to have the garage, but it was made from cardboard and even though I had it for a very long time, it fell apart."
