I don't remember those at all.  but I was in my teens in the 80's, so dinky cars weren't on my list of things to do then.  Chasing girls was.

I had one of those. Man, they don't make tough little dirt-proof toys like that anymore. I ruined mine playing in the dirt, crushing hotwheels all day. Who knows what happened to it, heck, its probably buried in the yard somewhere. I also had a mini black one that came from a McD's happy meal. Found it recently in an old box of Legos, custom painted bright yellow. I probably painted it when I was ten. Cool find.

Some had foam tires but these kind had hard rubber ones. McDonalds did give them away in happy meals for a while..I still have the little k5 blazer I got with my McNuggets. Im guessing it was like 82 or 83 when they did that.

Did Hot Wheels or Matchbox ever make an Eagle? I used to have tons of those things and I cant ever remember seeing one....I did have a gremlin one though.

I have the whole collection of the little stompers.  All of them are in a box down at my Mom's in Tennessee, except for a white Dodge Rampage and a Blue dodge Rampage that are in the basement.  If I ever get back to visit my Mom I'll definitely pull the Eagle SX/4 out of the box.

83Eagle! how sure are you that they are at your mothers, how do you think she got the money for her round the world vacation. Didn't you see her on Pawn Stars or whatever the shows name is cashing in on a bunch of stompers.

Nice!  She'd have no idea if any of my old toys are worth money or not.

Was going through my parts car yesterday and found one of the small black McD's SX/4 Stompers in one of the parts boxes. Sadly, it is missing its rear wheels and axle, and looks like it spent some time in the bathtub - rusty front axle. Ha, its a parts car, found in a parts car. ;D
