I had a toy when I was a kid and it would likely be in the early 70s. It was a car or truck that ran on a wire track and I can remember my brother making the wire go across the floor and up the wall so when you turned the truck on it looked like it was climbing the wall. Does anyone know what this was. It seemed like it had a lot of wire track. I had it around the time I had my Major Matt Mason figures.

EDIT I found it! Mighty Mike! Apparently the jeep didn't go quite a vertical as I remember, but I saw one on eBay in mint condition and I want it!!!!

Another toy from around the same time was a race car that had an automatic Get Ready, Get Set, Go light (Red, Yellow and Green). This might have been something for my Hot Wheels orange track. I'm not sure.

EDIT I have not found this yet, but it may have been a Ready, Set, Go light tree for my SSPs. If anyone knows of anything like that?

Lastly, in the late 70s I had a detective kit. The kit was a flashlight and briefcase all in one. It had pieces of it that were clear green plastic that lit up brightly when the flashlight was on. Of course it came with a magnifying glass. It had a fingerprint dusting and lifting kit and it came with cards with eyes, noses and mouths and you could lay them onto the clear green plastic grid and make facial composites. It may have had disguises too.

EDIT OK I also remember this kit was built very tough so it was probably Hasbro or Matell and you closed the case and the flashlight clipped onto the case to hold it closed. After the case was long gone, I used that flashlight because on a clear Michigan winter night, I could shine it upwards and the beam was like a giant white lightsabre.

Can anyone please help me identify any or all of these?

Thank you very much.

Zune

Does anyone have a Mighty Mike Jeep and if so, how much track? Just curious if it came with a lot of track or you had to buy track separate?
