I have two of these vans with surfboards.  Both of them have the surfboards that mount on the sides.  Womp Womp.

I have a fairly large hot wheels collection and have sold a few in the 4 digit range but Bruce's collection is beyond anything else. I've met him a few times at conventions and he is a pretty interesting guy.
