Another great presentation of some classic Hot Wheels. The Stutz Black Hawk and the Greyhound MC8 are my favourites. Thanks for showing these and i cant' wait for the 1981 collection.

My earliest Hot Wheels I remember having as a young kid was a Green Baja Breaker, a lime green Bywayman, a blue Hitail Hauler and a yellow Pontiac J-2000. The first three cars had a Malaysia base while the Pontiac one had a Hong Kong base

I love these full descriptions of each year cars! Very informative and interesting. I wasn't aware of some of the different variations such as like window tints, etc. Keep these going plz. I am now more knowledgeable about my older cars, especially my black walls.

I really like this video. Since Mr O Dawg is the definitive curator of the Hot Wheels Museum, I hope to see these complete videos for EACH year. And the Hot Wheels Museum must start from its roots: 1968. I've been searching for wtffor's 1968 videos to no avail (not to mention 1969, 1970...). I know you're busy setting up the display for 1968. In the meantime I'll go to the Hot Wheels Museum gift shop and get myself a hoodie.

I found that blue Hot Bird with only 2 tiny chips on it in a flat at a car show swap meet last weekend as well as a 78 hi tail hauler and some other nice old Blackwalls. I asked the seller what he wanted for them and he waved his hand and just said “Take em” I asked him twice if he was sure. He couldn’t seem to care less. I’m still pretty stunned but as I’ve commented before I would never have known what I was looking at if it wasn’t for these videos! Thanks again!

In your opinion, how much would the hammer down be worth without the cab sticker. The hammer down sticker is in nm condition and the truck has a few flea bites, but overall really nice condition. Thanks. Love your videos, I've been watching for close to five years. Congrats on your channel growth as well.

I would say the Hammer Down sticker is the more "required" sticker of the two, and hence, I would personally consider your truck to be worth around $75 to $100

Thanks for the question! There is a variation but it exists in the 1981 to 1982 Malaysia year. Also, a very rare variation (forthcoming in a future video of mine) is the yellow tint window variation with white tampo's... an extremely rare car.

I just went through my collection and I have the hammer down truck both stickers are on it, but its in rough shape most if not all the edges are missing paint, both stickers are intact and in pretty good shape just a bit dirty! Is it worth anything in its condition?
@wtffor7 жыл бұрын
Absolutely it is! A true barn find, and with the stickers being the most important part, I'd say as long as your truck is not missing any wheels and just paint, it should still be worth at least $30.

The Animal on the side of the Jaguar XJS is Actually a Jaguar not a Leopard. I owned most of these models, the Greyhound Bus, the Vette Van and many of the ones you show. Perhaps my favorite Hot Wheels Car was the Stutz Blackhawck in Tobacco Brown, The XJS in this version and white, Cadillac from 84-85 mustard Yellow and an AC Cobra in Blue from Real Riders... Don't remember if 84 or 85 but it came along a Hot Wheels City, with Bank, Hospital, etc. In Mexico ; Great Memories.

What is the best source for knowing when a particular vehicle was released?
@wtffor7 жыл бұрын
I am your best source. I have researched the heck out of vintage variations. Countless conversations with informed individuals, and, may she rest in peace, the old Hot Wheels Collectors website, which I painstakingly spent months copying page by page (one for every car variation - so thousands). It took me years to do, and filled 30 massive Excel programs, but it was the only true source right from Mattel that once gave die-hard collectors such as myself all the info to be able to collect these cars on an extreme level and knowledge base. There was no price guide though, that has stemmed from my years of tracking and buying vintage cars on ebay and other online web sites.

If you need to quickly reference a common vehicle and don't need pinpoint accuracy when it was released, the Wiki pages online are helpful.

I hear ya! I am also in 'the boonies', but I can't include shipping costs as that would be far too restrictive to my worldwide audience. I can tell you that shipping to Canada for cars (mostly from the USA) is roughly $12 to $30 for just a couple cars, depending on whether the seller ships First Class or Priority.
