Original Hot Wheels 1968 The SWEET 16 - Sort of....

Hot Wheels 1968 the “Original 16” - sort of! In this video I present a set of the first 16 Hot Wheels. But what is funny about this is that the guy who ordered wrote down Custom Firebird Twice so I thought that was just an error. Then later after pulling all the cars together I realized that he must have meant Custom Fleetside! So he did get a Custom Fleetside but that model is not featured in this video. Now that I did that I find it to be funny!

Thanks for confirming the distinguishing differences between US and HK models 👏

Exactly, the Hong Kong cars weren't washed off very well before painting that causes toning.

That VW is stunning, one of my favs, a sliding sunroof, get out of here! Another I LOVED was the 1969 Paddy Wagon.

I think I have a custom mustang addiction! I just collect them only, I sometimes wish I collected one of the cheaper models! 😂

@toycarcollector Жыл бұрын

The problem with Mustangs is they really did not make many to begin with and the ones they did make are mostly HK Red. USA models are so scarce. Collectors even when selling their collections tend to hand on to the Mustangs and Camaros so they do not circulate through the collecting community like other models do.

Custom Corvette should have 4 medium sized wheels.

Not with the hong Kong model. Smaller tires on the front were the norm in 1968

My first Hot Wheel was the custom mustang in gold but the hood louvers were open , how rare was that variation?

@toycarcollector Жыл бұрын

That model is call the "Open Hood Scoop" Custom Mustang. It is very valuable. It came in Gold and also Red, both are Hong Kong made, not USA. They are expensive. I see on ebay that a beater condition brings $100 to $200 and a minty Gold $600 to $900 and then there was a super sweet red one that brought $1600.

Your US Ford j car base is awesome. You said the US bases weren't nice. Can you show us a set of sweet sixteen just in US cars and show us the bases? PLEASE!!!@

Dave, how often do you come across ice (light) blue, near mint or exceptionally excellent cars with beautiful paint? I would imagine those rare few have taken up residence in your personal collection....

@toycarcollector Жыл бұрын

Few and far between. Will have to look and see what I have. I do know I have a Light Blue Whip Creamer in blister pack. In the past when I would get one I would sell it because of the high value. I once had the most beatlutiful Custom Corvette in Ice Blue but sold it at a convention in 05 for 2k. Today I would keep it if I found one.

Hi Dave. Can you explain the year 1967?

@toycarcollector 9 ай бұрын

Yes, it was the year before 1968 and the year after 1966. Also it is one of my favorite years because my wonderful wife was born ❤️. It is also the year for the copyright of the Hong Kong designs for the original Hot Wheels.
