  • Vintage Hot Wheels, year by year, a look at my 100% complete collection of these old diecast cars. This video explores all of the variations, rare models, pricing, and history (as much as I know!) of these expensive little cars and trucks.

    Love these videos. When I was 9 I had gotten the T-bird Toss Up for Christmas in 1978 with the white T-Bird. I still have most of the track however the T-Bird became part of the junkyard for my model train back in the 80's. I have since tracked down the yellow and white versions as well as the track again in it's original box.

    Amazing 1978 collection and in mint condition too! My favourites are the '31 Doozie, Ford Model A, Baja Breaker, Highway Patrol and the Racebait 308 (possibly my favourite Ferrari of all time). Once again, thanks for the detailed presentation!

    I stop in now and again I find another excellent historical Hot Wheel video on your outstanding collection. I'm telling you if they ever need a talk show host for die-cast history - you are the guy to go to. Best wishes and thanks for your time!

    Excellent video once again! Mattel sure had interesting names for each of it's castings....never gets old. Thanks again for publishing these historic videos. And your Plano case displays are perfect, I'll bet the wall displays are stunning in person.

    Great video, I'm guessing Lickety Six was influenced by the 6 wheel formula 1 car from British formula 1 team Tyrrell which made it's debut around that time. There is some great footage of Jackie Stewart driving the car up on youtube. There were other 6 wheel F1 cars, from Williams, March and even Ferrari but they had the 4 wheels at the back, including 1 Ferrari that had dualies, which there is a Hot Wheels Elite model of.

    • @michaelreece458
      @michaelreece458 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Indeed, that Tyrell was a very cool F1 car....back in an era when F1 was the greatest show on earth!

    I had hot wheels when I was a kid I currently started to search for the ones I had and so far I found hot bird , 442, Torino and 57 Chevy on eBay and they are on the way I’m trying to find a list with pictures of all the cars that came out between 77,78,79 to see if they jog my memory so I can get a hold of only the ones I had as a kid just for nostalgia

    I really look forward to these year by year videos!!! Feel free to make your videos longer if you want. Doesn't bother me at all.

    • @wtffor
      @wtffor  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! The videos will be getting much longer as I get into the 1980's, just due to the shear number of cars that were being produced. 1978 was a short casting release year, hence the shorter video then the others I've made for year previous.

  • @BoredWithSorcery
    @BoredWithSorcery 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I used to have the hot bird when I was a kid. I like these 'by year' videos. Do you plan on doing more going into the 1980s?

    • @wtffor
      @wtffor  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you, and yes, I will be making these videos right up to 1994, one video for each year, uploaded approximately every week or two.

    sorry if you've discussed this before, but I wonder if you have or have ever considered collecting Micro Machines. I collect all forms of model vehicles but I've been collecting Micro Machines for many years. I find them to be very fun.

    • @wtffor
      @wtffor  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I like Micro Machines, and I did grow up playing with a few as a kid. I never collected them though, and now my house is overflowing with 1/64 scale diecast so I really don't have the room to start another collection! :)

    Hello, I have a question. I have a 1977 hot wheels van that's yellow and brown with fangs with a portal window near the back and a back doors single window,I have found some images of it but I cant figure out its definitive name.Do you know what van I am talking about? I watched your video on the 1977s video an did not see its casting even with a different paint job.

    • @wtffor
      @wtffor  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That van is from the Tattoos series, released early 1990's. The date on the bottom of all Hot Wheels is when the first model was released, and is not necessarily the year of the vehicle you have.
