The Most Valuable Hot Wheels Cars Many People Have Sitting Around
Hot Wheels is easily one of the coolest toy brands out there. Who didn’t want to compile an awesome collection of these beautifully-crafted cars in their childhood? If you’ve still got yours, though, now might be the time to bring them out of storage. Why? Well, some of the vehicles could be worth a lot of money today. Keep your eyes open for the following 20 cars — they’re insanely valuable!
1. 1995 Treasure Hunt 1967 Camaro
Back in the mid-1990s, Hot Wheels released a brand-new line known as the “Treasure Hunt Series.” Now, as the name suggests, the cars under that banner were limited editions. Fans really had to keep their eyes peeled if they wanted one. Anyway, the 1967 Camaro was part of the initial run, and it’s pretty valuable right now. Someone offloaded theirs via eBay for over $930!
2. 1955 Candy Striper Chevy Bel Air Gasser
Boy oh boy, did Hot Wheels outdo themselves with this beauty. From the bright pink paint-job to the eye-catching silver engine, few cars can touch the 1955 Candy Striper Chevy Bel Air Gasser. The toy dropped in 2014 but people had to be quick. No more than 4,000 were ever produced. As a result of that, they usually fetch between $1,000 and $1,400 today.
3. 1975 White Mustang Stocker
While it might not be as flashy as some other Hot Wheels motors, the 1975 White Mustang Stocker is still a gorgeous-looking toy. The three stripes running down the body of the car really make it pop. As for the actual model, it’s said that the 1969-1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 was a big inspiration. One lucky collector bagged $1,299 by selling theirs through eBay.
4. 1968 Volkswagen Custom without sunroof
During a chat with the Fatherly website, Hot Wheels expert Mike Zarnock had this to say. He revealed, “The first Custom Volkswagens that were made in Hong Kong didn’t have a sunroof. [They] were only available in Europe, with most of them sold in Germany and the U.K.” The toys are pretty rare, especially those clad in colors such as red, copper, and green. They’re worth in excess of $1,500 today.
