Hot Wheels Vintage SUPER VAN Variations

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Great video! I look forward to this series on different castings. Thank you for all the info my friend!

[@wtffor]

+GHOSTJERKER You are most welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting my friend!

[@DavesDiecast]

This is a great video O-Dawg! I know tons of people consider these favorites, Including me. You have great knowledge as well as a collection that tops them all.

[@wtffor]

+Hot Wheels CostaRica Thank you very much, what a great compliment! The Super Vans are also among my favorite vintage castings. Now if only I could get the Toy Fair vans from 1975.... but alas they are far too expensive and rare.

[@glipabazza9994]

Great video. I managed to get the 62 KGW Radio variation at the latest LA convention, mint in baggie with blue FC / H card, expensive but worth it. At the other end of price span, I also scored a good-looking fuchsia pink variation, made in Thailand, with "Super Van" on sides for USD 2. One of my favourite castings.

[@wtffor]

Great finds you got there, I bet that pink Super Van would fetch a good dollar on ebay, I've never seen one before!

[@glipabazza9994]

Thanks. Pink Van is a 2011 variation from the Hot Ones series. Comes with a black interior, unpainted metal base and Blackwalls. Pretty neat for a recent variation.

[@F4collector]

🏁🏁Great collection and Great historical information as well! I'm with you, I too love the Super Van casting. Thanks for sharing and posting. Tom (F4collector)🏁🏁

[@wtffor]

+F4collector You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@DNR5586]

Favorite Hot Wheels casting, good info on each variant. Thanks for posting.

[@wtffor]

Thanks!

[@burakdindaroglu8948]

That purple one with the bicycle on it has lots of things going for it: It is the most beautiful of the supervans, with very original color and an amazing deco (there is a bike on it fgs!). Just stands out of the bunch so incredibly. The desirability of that one would command high price regardless of rarity.

[@burakdindaroglu8948]

Oh, it's a motorcycle. I thought it was a jumping BMX.

[@Championdjk]

Excellent video! Thanks for doing these! Great info

[@wtffor]

+Championdjk Thanks for the comment and watching!

[@dreadnok320]

Insanity unreal ! To have all those super vans must feel great. I know how hard it is to get all of those vans. Dedication people love for the hobby . U my friend are doing a fantastic thing for this hobby. Putting all tease cars in 1place for people to see. I for 1 thank u . Cut off cannon van looks awesome. I need to get me 1.

[@wtffor]

+dreadnok320 Thank you very much my friend, for a fantastic compliment and comment on this video. I really appreciate the support and encouragement... it's 50% of what keeps me going (the other 50% is pure love for collecting diecast!) Thanks again Dread, it means a lot coming from you especially!

[@mannycrummett1206]

Thanks for the Super Van vid! Still looking for a few of the hard ones that you have in your collection. Thanks for sharing!

[@wtffor]

+Manny Crummett You are most welcome, and thank you for watching and commenting! Good luck finding the elusive vans in your collection!

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks!! found this video very interesting... can't wait to see more!!

[@wtffor]

+baremetalHW Thank you, more on the way in 2016!

[@MattMcArion]

Love those Super Vans Indeed ! ! ! I hope some day I get to have one of the blue Super Van with flames.

[@collectorsdream]

damn!! That's a lot of super Van's!! Great Video as always, and love your history details on it as well

[@wtffor]

+collectorsdream Thank you!

[@LamarFaciane]

What a way to start this new segment! I enjoyed the in depth look at this very cool casting my friend, I look forward to more in the future.

[@wtffor]

+Lamar Faciane Thank you, and many more to come I promise!

[@PaulWootenwrfcustomsdiecast]

Thanks for sharing didn't know some of that information about some of those variations

[@JustinTyme33]

I’m 4 years late to the party but awesome video. Thanks for sharing

[@skyboom64]

Everytime you do one of these collector videos, I'm amazed at your knowledge of the brand. You are an awesome mentor buddy.....keep up the great work.

[@wtffor]

+skyboom64 Thank you so much, that really is a terrific compliment! I will always continue to make videos like these, it is my passion!

[@skyboom64]

Canucks stick together.

[@veedubmatt]

Fantastic video! I'm sure this took some serious effort to make. As always, I appreciate your wealth of knowledge. Do you collect the "side marker/no side maker" variations as well?

[@wtffor]

+VeeDub As I understand it the side marker light variation was on the black Redline super vans, yellow and white Paramedics, and purple Super Vans... but I find that those variations are just too expensive to collect since from more then a foot away you couldn't tell if it had side marker lights or not. I probably should have mentioned the lights for historical sake, but I don't collect that variations so it was overlooked in this video. Good mention though, I'm glad you brought it up!

[@aceuh71]

I have a black super van with no side marker lights... I've had it for years and didn't realize there were no marker lights on it until today

[@billybbutter2780]

Hi WTFFOR. Have been binge watching your channel as I only just found it last week!!!!!! Seen your 1975 to 1989... a couple of others as well, plus this cherry!!! Man I love Super Vans... the rare ones we didn't see them here in Australia. I have several but what year I don't know now!!! Lol. Would love to see a similar video of the 1940 Woodie Wagon. Bloody Awesome collection & well displayed. Ps Alive55, Vette Van & Poison Pinto are favs close to my heart. " Any Ways" back to more binge watching to catch up. Cheers from Down Under.👍😉

[@that_VAN_Guy]

There is a Vette Van Video on My Channel, if you'd like to Check it out. In my "Hot Wheels Castings" Playlist.

[@TheSwords99]

Beautiful vans.

[@that_VAN_Guy]

I Consider this to be the Most Complete Vintage Super Van Video on the Internet! A Must Watch for Anyone that Collects, or is Interested in the Super Van Casting! Awsome Awsome Video! Would you mind if i Include a Link to this Video, in My future "Casting Spotlight" Video of the Super Van/70's Van Casting? Lots of Great info here.

[@bobbymillionaire1825]

Excellent video - as mentioned earlier in my comments they should have a Hot Wheel Super Collector award and one for a Hot Wheel Historian (researcher) because you deserve it. I realize these videos take time to produce but have you done one on Mighty Mavericks? If not could you do one on the Mighty Maverick? I have a few of them but the spoilers look different. And I don't know if they are original. I've been researching but your comments are valuable to this group. Thank you for your time and video.

[@wtffor]

+Bobby Millionaire A Super Collector award, imagine the trophy that could accompany such a thing! That'd be great! I will do one on the Mighty Mavericks, although I don't have many as most of the originals were pre-1973 spectraflame cars... I have all of the ones released 1974 and on but that's not many. I will none-the-less get to this video!

[@bobbymillionaire1825]

Thank you - I really appreciate your knowledge and time.

[@TheLTD_]

Love the super vans, thanks for sharing.

[@wtffor]

+Jeff Hill Thanks for watching and commenting Jeff!

[@dullknowledge1576]

I just realized I had the chrome version... What a lucky find. I found it at a thrift store...

[@PatrickJsVintageFinds]

Nice collection! I have many of those variations and am also pursuing the rarer ones. I do have the rare blue with flames from the canyon set and the red blackwall with flames. Hope to get the herfy's and the toys r us vans.

[@wtffor]

+Patrick Jones Very impressive! What condition is your Canyon van in, just out of curiosity? I've seen so few of these it's nice to know how many are out there and in what condition.

[@PatrickJsVintageFinds]

wtffor You have the collection of all collections my man! My canyon van is probably considered near mint, only a few flea bites on it. If you ever get a chance, check out my videos and scroll down to my second you tube video made, you will see my vans, I apologize for my novice presentation ahead of time.lol. I have added two criss cross vans to my collection since that video, and I am looking to add more of the rare ones. Take care bud.

[@chuckthebuilder3429]

I have a pure white one any info?

[@GIJOEFAN-ys8gp]

I would like to see more videos on specific Hot Wheels castings.

[@stingray7849]

This is a great video! Enjoyable and informative as always. I was wondering if you could do a video on how you constructed your junkyard? Thanks a lot.

[@wtffor]

+Stingray78 Well The junkyard has been made now for some time, and I never shot any video on the process. But I did learn everything about building it by looking up videos on KZbin about "how to build HO scale dioramas" . All the tutorials you would ever need directly from the Pro's are already out there, search away!

[@stingray7849]

+wtffor will do.

[@crocodiledumbdee1567]

Hi great video! I found it while looking for a van I found in a thrift store. It looks like the blue cereal box one but says 1974 on the bottom?

[@MrWolfSnack]

I got all my motocross super vans (of which i have 3) for under $20! People don;t know what they have and I swoop in and buy them. I dunno how other collectors miss the auctions, but I usually have little to know competition. The last one I got, I got as a bundle with two other super vans for $5 total! It has no decal and a bit of yellow paint on the hood from a kid's paintbrush, so maybe people thought it was a repainted ambulance. But my first one I got for $30 and the 2nd to last for $14. They aren't mint, but aren't heaps either. Still legible and displayable.

[@wtffor]

+MrWolfSnack Those are some great scores on the Super Vans you got, no doubt about it. Although the price does jump dramatically between vintage Hot Wheels in good condition and mint condition. A car with 30 or so small chips on it and minimal other wear (other wise good condition) will usually sell for 20% or less of the same vehicle in mint condition, showing no chips and no wear.

[@patrickjackman7982]

Very interesting casting just loving it

[@randallbyrd1973]

Awesome TY for sharing

[@classictvfan305]

What a great video. Thank you for all of the info on super vans. Now I am going to see what variations I have and what I need.

[@gilval808]

Damn I bought the herfy radio van still in the original baggy for $1.00 back in 1994 from a garage sale. oh my God if I only knew the future how much this van was going for I should have never traded it.

[@hotwheelsjc75_80]

Outstanding Video!!!!!

[@wtffor]

+Hotwheelsjc75 _ Thanks!!

[@tacgear01]

I usually learn something when I watch your videos, cheers buddy

[@wtffor]

+tacgear01 Thank you, I'm always happy to pass on my knowledge and it's great if it helps someone!

Awesome video!You definitely went way outta your way to get this right.Congratulations on your efforts.It's been a pleasure watch such well narrated as well informative description of a model.Thanks for the info,once again,congratulations!

Very cool thanks 👍

[@ScottDunlap420bd]

Great video-

[@wtffor]

+Scott Dunlap Thanks!

[@bingbongtoysKY]

thank you again for great videos & content: I was wondering if you could answer 2 questions- 1st: could/ or is ' the punisher van' released in 2018 be based on the super van model? and 2nd: what does the wttfor acronym mean?

[@that_VAN_Guy]

Yes on the 1st Question. 😉

[@janderakaleroydavis]

How many more have you added?

[@reeceracing123]

Great video! I noticed you didn't mention the 'side marker' variations, is just too many variations to list?

[@wtffor]

+reeceracing123 Actually it does double the variation count for the black redline super vans, yellow and white Paramedics, and purple Super Vans... but I find that those variations are just too expensive to collect since from more then a foot away you couldn't tell if it had side marker lights or not. I probably should have mentioned the lights for historical sake, but I don't collect that variations so it was overlooked in this video. Good mention though, I'm glad you brought it up!

[@reeceracing123]

No worries. I thought that was why you didn't mention it. I'm really looking forward to more of these videos. Even with cars that don't have many variations, it's just cool to see all the different ones made in one place.

[@janderakaleroydavis]

Any updates to your collection?

[@sirmugman]

the red supervan with flames, does it have a yellow linace plate on the rear? cus if yes then that was one of my first black wall cars i found,

[@wtffor]

+sirmugman No it does not. Perhaps yours was added afterwards?

[@sirmugman]

wtffor huh, hmm might of been a UK only thing as its the only one i've seen is the cromed almost zamac calfornia cruising one, so maybe mines rarer? oh well, not seen any others i mostly find the ford transit from the 90's and the corgi us van,

[@colinsdiecast164customs]

Hi Wtffor and Happy New Year, I had an amazing stroke of luck today at a charity shop, I found a beat up Toys r us Super van, the decals are mostly gone, but you can still tell its the real deal, I never expected to find one in the UK, as I know how hard they are to find in the US. How much would a beat up one be worth?, all the wheels are there and the glass is intact, its chipped, but not the worst I have seen. I did not know what it was when I bought it, I just bought it, because it was all metal, what a good start to the year.

[@wtffor]

That is a very cool and rare find, one in a million I am sure! Even in tough condition, those rare old Hot Wheels have some value as long as you can make out some of the tampo's identifying the model. Best bet if you want to sell it is put it on Ebay with a good description and pictures, a low starting bid (maybe $20?) and see where it goes by the end of the listing time! Otherwise, it is quite hard to say what the van will be worth. Happy New Year!

[@colinsdiecast164customs]

@@wtffor Thanks for the info on the model and I have sent some pics to your email address, f you would like to see the van and share your opinion on it. I have cleaned it thoroughly and shinned the metal parts, just make the most of whats left, but I am keen to add a replacement decal to it, to get the full effect of the Geoffrey van.

[@colinsdiecast164customs]

@@wtfforLike you, I dont collect diecast to sell it, but I appreciate the advice, about $20 is a fair starting point, but I would not sell it, but I would like to put a new decal set on it,

[@thomasgarrett8545]

Man that's so great nice job i know it s time to get older cars i lov your vids Tom lindenhurst long Island ny

[@wert13d]

I have three super vans in my collection. I have Military Police Bw, California Cruising Van, & Hershey Chocolate Syrup van.

[@wtffor]

+michael patrusevich Those are nice ones!

[@heronumbertwo3171]

I have the blue one with flames but its a remake its the 70s van (hwc flying custom) Idk whats the retool but it has a signature on the top and recreated redline wheels

[@maragaritabocanegra4379]

the red van its cool

[@tjmontoya216]

1st one to say very informational video

[@wtffor]

+TJ Montoya Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@centrulraionaldetineretung810]

i have the card paintjob thing, idk if its rare, but i like it alot!

[@MrWolfSnack]

PS: In your past videos on these, didn't you talk about the blinker light variations too?

[@wtffor]

+MrWolfSnack I did, but I chose not to this time since I am not actively collecting that variation, and most collectors probably won't either. These vans are just too expensive in mint condition to be buying two of each of them just for the signal light variation. Also, both variations seem to be equally populated, not one more rare then the other, and there is minimal published information that I have found with regards to the variation. Since I have so little info on it I chose not to talk about it as well.
