2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
Type in "your year make model" and "1:64 scale" on ebay and I bet you can find most of them like that.

I know Matchbox made a 1:64 MGA, introduced around 1958. One would be lucky to find a mint boxed example for under $100 though.

Toy Chevy Silverado truck.
I remember I had a New Bright remote control Fiero when I was a kid, it was pretty cool - working lights and I think horn too.
I bought my son a New Bright Dodge Ram remote control truck,. quite huge actually. I enjoy playing with it too as it goes over anything!

Here's the toy I had I think it was a cheapie thing - maybe $20 or so new, but the detail was pretty fantastic to me, and it's pretty big, too.

In Poland I always wanted this toy Fiat 124p, remote (by cable) controlled and quite detailed for a communist mid 80s toy.

I have one like this, but in a nicer box. Should take some pics, it's pretty cool:
When we moved to Italy I got my first remote control car, a Ferrari Testarossa that only went forward and turned left in reverse only.

I remember those type of radio control cars, with the floppy antenna. I was really into radio control cars for a few years, I remember I had an elaborate Camaro my uncle bought in Japan, and of all things, a radio control Merkur that ate batteries.
Here's my cable controlled gullwing, probably worth a little:

It actually does work - the lights even work, but I haven't ran it in maybe 20 years.

The BBC notes that "Like most VW vans of its vintage, it does not operate under its own power."
We ended up buying some other sets which I promptly built and played with as my son is only 3.5 years old. He likes Legos too but he's too young to build off instructions, so I get to have the fun of building stuff and reliving my childhood.
Actually most of the Legos we have are my sets I saved from the 80s when I was playing with them. I get to relive my childhood! :shades:

We've noticed! :shades:
That is one of the greatest blessings about having a son- building Aurora monster kits and Monogram hot rods, collecting die casts, watching old science fiction movies, going to the Indy 500... My wife said I have never had a second childhood because I never grew out of my first one... :P

I noticed some of the prices are outrageous, small sets that would be priced at around $20 new today, are like $50-$80. Unfortunately I neither have the boxes or instructions. I have to download the instructions but can't get the boxes

You'll never find those boxes, just enjoy the toys. A few years ago I found a very basic set at a yard sale, 1989 (set 6591 - dragsters), mint in box, original price like $5. It brought $50 on ebay, I was pleased.

There is a larger model that is even cooler:

I didn't see that episode, but wasn't that "James May's Toy Stories"?
I wasn't into it, so I sold them off - I think I got maybe $250 for the lot. The early boxes are really hard to find.

I want to say my kit even had a simulated engine with a moving piston - the mechanical detail amazed my young eyes, but it was a chore to assemble.

I have seen custom Lego builds of a fintail, W123, etc. My brother became obsessed with that several years ago, building military vehicles - but the fad passed.
Back in the 60s, Lego made HO scale plastic toy cars that were stored in little bricks. Here's a fintail:
