When I was five, in 1968, an uncle, who was in the British Merchant Navy, gave me several of these cars when he visited. They were totally different from the Matchbox cars I was used to. I wasn't sure about them - the colours were weird and the wheels seemed too big. Then my uncle rolled one on the table - it just kept going with one little push. On a tiled floor, they were astonishing, and I 'got' why my uncle said Hot Wheels were a big thing in America. Wish I still had them - they were some of the original run of 16 models; the 'Sweet 16', as they are now known. They'd be worth a small fortune. Superb renovation, and that packaging and tin badge take the whole thing to another level. Wow. 👍👍👍

I had this. I painted it by hand, gold with a black bonnet. I can't remember the exact story, but i had to do something that eventually caused this - and a couple of others - to drop through the letterbox! I got a corvette stingray by post too! And i spotted in my grandson's toybox a few months ago! Another great restoration. Many thanks....
I had the dark blue Camaro from 1968. Only difference was that mine never saw the packaging machine at the plant. My friend's dad was an engineer at Mattel, he gave me the car and two 50' rolls of orange track uncut. We had a blast!!!
Top class resto paul that packaging is amazing you've got some amazing restoration skills remaking that button takes some skill the reason matchbox changed their models from regular wheels to superfast is because when hotwheels came out in 1969 matchbox had to rush to compete with mattell
It must take a lot of work to gather the materials and create the printing data to recreate the packaging. I can't help but be impressed by the amazing reproductions every time!
Looking at this initial model.. The hot wheels has evolved brilliantly. The current hotwheels are amazingly detailed & with superb paintwork & decals. The paint looks alien on the poor diecast bodywork. 😌 🙏 Live Long N Prosper
Admiro mucho tu trabajo y siempre veo tus videos, los cuales me sirven como guía, pero esta vez fue una excepción. Soy coleccionista de Hot Wheels redline y he restaurado algunos también, el brillo que tienen los coches es natural, del propio chasis, este debe ser pulido tipo espejo y luego pintarse con pintura traslúcida, de modo que refleje el brillo del chasis, anteriormente se usaba pintura llamada "spectraflame", actualmente puede comprarse una similar en redlineshop, pero es posible fabricar una artesanal; en cuanto a las ruedas, no es necesario que la línea roja sea pintada, basta con limpiarla, igual caso para la parte negra, asimismo la parte cromada debe ser más fina además de pintar el círculo del aro. Actualmente se puede comprar réplicas de estas ruedas, pero con una buena restauración suelen queda bien. Saludos esimado Paul.
Lots a moronic haters out here purporting to “know it all!” This brought back many fond memories of hours of endless fun playing with my hot wheels!!! Nice job…I could care less what you do with it! It’s the wonderful memories you just created!!
Hello Paul,what a awesome restoration on this Hot Wheels Camaro custom.i like how you done the box,I recently started collecting these 2024 ones.expensive hobby 😂,
Sehr erfolgreiche Restaurierung auf den Werkszustand. So kann sich der Camaro wieder sehen lassen. Gruß, Joachim Bardzo udane przywrócenie do stanu fabrycznego. Zatem Camaro znów będzie można zobaczyć. Pozdrawiam, Joachim
Me resulta curioso que justamente hoy buscando entre viejos juguetes de mi hijo, algún Hot wheels que me gustase recuperar, encuentro éste. Y ahora veo la restauración de uno igual. Me ha encantado saber que es valioso. Está en buen estado de conservación 😊 Gracias por sus vídeos que me encanta ver siempre.
Yeah yeah yeah . Just like all the other Hot Wheels we had when I was a kid ( maybe 7years old ). But the chrome ones were the coolest. Love the Camero though.
look at that rear wheel gap, fit some big mickey thompsons in there LOL. excellent restoration of a classic, I have the same hot wheels 69 camaro with the opening hood, mine is red and I believe it is the original color.
bonjour Paul , plus que la rénovation de vos voiture , j'aime beaucoup le soins que vous apportez à la construction à l'identique de vos boites , bravo
Se nota que es viejo, un modelo muy básico, todavía con material de base abundante, chasis metálico y con la pobreza de detalles típica de Hotwhells. No quiero a la marca, pero este modelo valía la pena. Nunca había visto ese sistema de ejes/suspensión.
the chipped paint and cracked windshield is why i saved mine all these years....well played with all my cars and trucks...hours and hours....got 25 cars one christmas...
One of my all-time favorite molds🙂. I have several in my collection but only one original one that I keeping it safe for obvious reasons 😁 Nice color choice
Sou fã dos Hot Wheels esse camaro é sem dúvida muito raro aqui no Brasil é muito difícil encontrar modelos da Hot Wheels de 1968 meus parabéns pela excelente restauração
I just think it’s so cool that your last name is Restorer AND you actually restore things! How cool is that god works in magical ways bless you baby jedus

Hi Paul.
So glad you found this model to restore. It looks gorgeous and the box is a truly beautiful work of art. Well done!
Esse Camaro ficou lindo, e a confecção da embalagem foi um show à parte! Parabéns meu amigo. 👏👏👏👍

Dzisiejszy dzień będzie w kolorze niebieskim 😊
Nice work, happy to see you use the Spectraflame paint on this
Amazing as always Paul fantastic Restoration your Restoration's are mind blowing well done 👍.
That is some stellar power drill safety demonstration
You sir are a true artist & craftsman! Outstanding restoration Paul! 👊❤
Awesome restoration, paul. The box you made is a work of art well done. 👍
Superb job, back to original, well done Paul 👍👍
Amerykański krążownik szos w niebieskim kolorze. Profesjonalna renowacja.👍

Very good work Paul! Brought that one back from Junkyard to the Showroom, nice! Take care and cheers!😄❤👍

Merci Paul 🎉
Really good resto! I had this one too! I love the colour choice
That's a steady hand right there. This dude does not drink. Good Lord, what an artist.
So nice, once again.
Thank you Paul 👍💪✌
I had no idea that Ruth Handler’s husband invented Hot Wheels. Invented in 1968, the year I was born 😊. Excellent job as always!
1967 here. We grew up with hot wheels and those crazy race tracks with loops and jumps. I still have mine from that era.
@@patrickperkins4992 We used to get spankings with those hot wheel tracks, lol.
Colore Splendido Azzeccatissimo 😻 Restauro Super 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Grazie Paul💪💪💪🫶👍
ALL Right Paul another Classic Car 🚗 what a great job Paul 👍👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thank you very much
I'm convinced GM has paid Mattel to say the Camaro was the 1st Hot Wheels because the first 16 were on the market at the same time.

Bellissima, una originale red line!!! Ottimo lavoro come sempre👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really good work, a beautiful finish, a carton thats a work of art in its own right and a classic toy.....what more could you ask for? 👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Thank you very much
Ciao Paul! Questa Riproduzione ha bisogno del Tuo Accurato Restauro 🤔✌️
That's why hot wheels always felt like they had springy suspension. Matchbox were solid with no bounce. I loved hot wheels.
Super 👍 👍👍
Hello Paul,what a awesome restoration on this Hot Wheels Camaro custom.i like how you done the box,I recently started collecting these 2024 ones.expensive hobby 😂,
Awesome you did the packaging too.
Love it!
I remember that model. Great color match. Might have been easier to get replacement wheels but nice job.
Servus Paul
Dss war ein großartiges Video 😊👍
Lg Michael
Vielen Dank Michael
Awesome restoration
Finally hot wheels
Thank you very much
It's just nice to see an original car made in the way back.
Looks like this Hong Kong Camaro was in Aqua colour. Was hoping to see you re zink it,polish and paint it in that spectra flame colour

I like the blue paint job and wonderful package you made, Paul!!❤❤
The renovation is fine, but the card and badge 😍😍
Outstanding work on this 1st hot wheels, excellent box work as well ,all the best Martin
Yeah yeah yeah . Just like all the other Hot Wheels we had when I was a kid ( maybe 7years old ). But the chrome ones were the coolest. Love the Camero though.

The Metallic blue looks good Paul. James Moses Jr
Great job & love the color!!! Thanks for the tips, Paul.
Yep. Perfectly restored. It even has all the cheap imperfections of early hot wheels. I would have overrestored it to get rid of them (at last!). 😉
You win for most steady hands on the internet!
Phew! Imagine driving around with interior that colour.
Awesome 🔥
Great work on that Paul......
Cool 😊 You're very talented. You have lots of haters with stupid comments. Got to love the haters. I always say consider the source.
Funny those haters don't have their own YT videos showing how to do it better.
Magnifico trabajo, solo un detalle, todos los carritos de hotwheels apuntan hacia la derecha, los mathbox apuntan a la izquerda. curioso.
I completely forgot about the badge that came with them. A dumb 5yr old back then, I wish I'd have known how valuable Hot Wheels would become.
The color came out really nice
Thank you very much

Nejprve jsem chtěl obdivovat lakování. Pak se objevila ta pečeť. A nakonec to balení... Paráda!
Beautiful restoration Paul, I remember having this car as a kid. I often wonder what became of it, and all the others. I wish they still made them.
The before / after is really really cool 🤩👍
Excellent job well done
You are an excellant restorer.
Thank you very much
Incredible work as always 👏👏
Well done Paul on the redline hot wheels car!!
Love the colour of the car.
Thank you very much
Everytime the cat cried in the background, my cat looked at me like I was making the noise 😂
One of my all-time favorite molds🙂. I have several in my collection but only one original one that I keeping it safe for obvious reasons 😁 Nice color choice
Cool Thank you very much
Decent job, I like it! But aren't all Hot Wheels facing right in the package?
Most but not all. 2008 holiday rods Nomad.
Ottimo lavoro !
Fai benissimo a rispettare i metodi di verniciatura originali !
Oltretutto mi mancava l'etichetta in metallo !
Like it came out of the factory yesterday!
Awesome job, Paul. 😎
Just an FYI, 1969 was in the 20th Century not the 19th Century.
Nice resto .. only thing that bugs me 21:20 .. you haven't got the base fully home against the body - big gaps around the rear bumper and bootlid
Okay, Clark's father-in-law.
Отлично поучилось.
Top!!!!🔥👏👏👏
Sou fã dos Hot Wheels esse camaro é sem dúvida muito raro aqui no Brasil é muito difícil encontrar modelos da Hot Wheels de 1968 meus parabéns pela excelente restauração
I have 2 of those hot wheels and there in great condition still.
Eskiyi yenilemek ne güzel
Wow, you did a Redline! Where did you find it? I know they’re extremely rare where you are.
Great Work
Thank you very much
Quedo increíble buena restauración 😊
