Chevrolet Custom Camaro smalto bianco (1968)

As soon as this blows, Hot Wheels began producing automobiles in 1968, with a selection of 16 models. Qualche tempo dopo questi stampi furono rubati e riapparvero in Argentina and successively in Brazil, selling with Esdeco Muky Superveloz. One of the model's queries was the Camaro, a new automobile for the time. The project produced a replica of the Camaro in white, which was initially sold only as a prototype, however, causing an error, resulting in a furore messi in sale at the public, ritenuti essere il primo modello Hot Wheels prodotto.

Il pink beatnik bandito (1968)

Questo modello, basato su un'auto costruita da Ed Roth, è uno dei 16 originali del 1968 ed è piuttosto popolare. Tuttavia, Hot Wheels ha rilasciato poco più di 100 unità dipinte di rosa, rendendolo il colore più raro e attualmente venduto per un massimo di 15.000 dollari, sempre in ottime condizioni e preferibilmente nella confezione originale.

Volkswagen Custom Beetle (1968)

These Volkswagen Beetles belong to the first 16 models produced by Hot Wheels in 1968, with a front-mounted V8 engine. One version of these Beetles was the one with a printed sunroof, but some came open, and these could cost up to US$1,500.

Python/Cheetah (1968)

The Python was a very successful fantasy model in 1968, based on the Dream Rod produced by Bill Cushenbery. However, its original name was Cheetah, but Hot Wheels discovered that this name was already in use and so the first prototypes had Cheetah engraved on the base. Today they are extremely rare, as most were destroyed at the time by Mattel, and could be worth US$10,000.

Pink Beach Bomb Rear Loading (1969)

This is the Holy Grail of Hot Wheels. The brand has always been in search of automotive culture to produce its cars and, therefore, has always produced many Volkswagens. One of the rarest and most valuable Hot Wheels models is the pink Beach Bomb Rear Loading. This is because this model is a prototype that was never launched and only six or eight copies were produced, for the company to give as gifts to its employees. I had two surfboards and they were narrower than normal, meaning I couldn't use them on the HW slopes. To launch it on the market, the body was widened. These examples disappeared and today only one is known to exist, which sold for US$72,000.

AMC AMX Ed Shaver Custom (1969)

In 1969, Hot Wheels released a limited series of the AMC AMX Ed Shaver Custom, which were only sold in the United Kingdom, as the racer was sponsored by Hot Wheels and was only available at events where the team participated. Nowadays they can be worth around US$4,000.

Mad Maverick (1970)

This was one of the models in which Hot Wheels did not verify the use of the name and launched it in the early 1970s as Mad Maverick. But Johnny Lightning already had the rights to that name, so Hot Wheels had to change it to Mighty Maverick. Still, some prototypes and pre-production models with the Mad Maverick name engraved on them survive, and today they can be worth up to $20,000.

Red Baron (1970)

In the 1970s, Red Barons were Hot Wheels' best-selling models, but for some reason, those with a white interior were rarer to find and today they can be worth $3,000.

Evil Weevil (1971)

Using the Volkswagen Beetle molds that were not stolen, Hot Wheels produced the Evil Weevil, with special wheels and colors. Due to the fact that it was produced in small quantities, mainly in magenta and purple colors, today the price can reach US$3,000.

Blue Roger Dodger (1974)

The Roger Dodger series, based on the Dodge Challenger SE, was quite successful for decades and still exists today. However, in 1974 very few blue models were produced, possibly even a mistake on the part of Hot Wheels itself, which today can cost up to US$8,000.

Poison Pinto (1976)

The Poison Pinto, based on the Ford Pinto Van, was introduced in 1976 and has since been produced in different versions from time to time. The first copies, in perfect condition, can cost around US$200.

Golden GMC Motorhome (1977)

In the late 1970s, Hot Wheels released a replica of the GMC Motorhome. The rarest is the gold-painted version, produced in around 30 units, at the request of General Motors itself to give away as a gift. Today they can be worth more than US$3,000.

Spiderman Heroes (1978)

Sometimes, Hot Wheels releases models with decorations from famous films or comics, and an example of this is the Heroes Spiderman Van, produced for only two years. Today, a copy in perfect condition can fetch up to US$150. It doesn't seem like much, but it's more than 150 times the original value.

Side-Splitter Funny Car #271 (1995)

Not all of Hot Wheels' most valuable cars are from its early days, like this Side-Splitter Funny Car, number 271, released in 1995. What makes them valuable is that there was a printing error in at least 12 of them. It is known that there are six copies with this error, which could sell for up to US$3,500.

Scooby Doo Mystery Machine (2012)

Although this is the least expensive model on this list, it is also the most recent, launched in 2012. In a short time, Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine became worth around US$80.

DeLorean DMC-12 “Back to the Future”

This is also a very popular model, with Hot Wheels producing it in several versions. The one with the highest value is the one with rubber tires, better quality details and a special color, which can be worth up to US$300.
