- Continuing with my year-by-year series of videos on my complete vintage Hot Wheels collection, this episode details all of the diecast cars and trucks Mattel offered in 1979. Nearly every car in my collection is a mint example, and I offer an in-depth look at the model, variations, values, and a price guide for every car made during the time period. Check out the Scorchers series, Heroes comic cars, Scene Machines, Golden Machines, rare promotional items, and of course the entire main line of cars released including the most rare variations you may never have know to exist. Thanks for watching, your comments are greatly appreciated!

boy i can remember having a few of those when i was young...
I was born in 79 and I happen to bring a 56 Hightail Hauler (yellow) to "show and tell" in Kindergarten in 1984. My first memory of school and I've always wanted to get my hands on one. Cool collection
1979 was the year I put my toys on hold, great to see the scorchers plying their gumption. As usual a great review and a valuable resource for new and old collectors alike.
It's amazing to see those 1979 Hotwheels. I bought my new real life 1979 Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce as a young man. I played with Hotwheels when I was a kid. Few years ago I organized my boys Hotwheels to start collecting Hotwheels as a hobby on my own.
Great video. Your knowledge of the casting is incredible. One note, the Bywayman was based on a Chevrolet / GMC truck
And it seems like all castings of the Bywayman has no steering wheel
Love everything released in 1979, mainline, patches, scorchers, scene machines, the Heros, and the multi packs including the golden machines. awesome video man.
Thank you!
Just when I start to think that my vintage collection is coming along, I check your channel out every now and then and immediately start thinking about what I want to track down next!
Patrick J's Vintage Finds lol..you aint lyin pat.😆 dudes got carss
Patrick J's Vintage Finds iiwsaaawqqqqwwwwqaaa
I simply collect what I like less stress
His collection is impressive
@@lylespriggs4621 the thing with me is I love most all of the vintage stuff
@@PatrickJsVintageFinds Yess!!Vinntage cars are like the Holy Grail when it comes to collecting
especially when found in good condition.
Very fun to watch. You are now showing some of the cars I had in the years of my early childhood. The Torino stocker and the 442 are my all time favorites. Thanks for taking the time to share your collections in such detail.
Thanks for watching, and nice to hear you are seeing the cars in my collection from your youth. Your support and comment are very much appreciated!
What a collection.
What an obsession.
Reminds me of the guy that eats a BigMac everyday 🍔🍟
Thanks for putting these video's up, I grew up with and remember most of these.
The Torino Stocker and Flat-out 442 came in my Criss Cross Crash track set that I had as a child. I think I still have that track packed away.
Another excellent presentation.From 1979, the two castings i like the most is the Monte Carlo Stocker and the Torino Stocker.
The Scene Machines are really interesting, i wasn't even aware these existed! Thanks a lot for showing these, and i look forward to the 1980 line.
Thanks for watching and your comment, I am happy to hear you discovered some old cars not previously known about.
Thanks again for these video, this is Hot Wheels History that is not available nowhere on the net, at least not as detailed. The 80's are coming...👍
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Oh yes, the 80's are coming, and there are a LOT of cool cars released in that decade.
Great video O-Dawg...One of my favorite years for Hot Wheels...I think I've only seen 2 of those Scorchers before..great to see all of them close up...great explanations of the variations too!
Thank you very much for your comment Dave, the Scorchers are so cool and tough to get much info on these days. I wish I had more of them for the upcoming years, but most people don't know what they are or how old and rare they are unless still in packaging. The cars don't say "hot wheels" anywhere on them.... so most probably end up in the garbage or sand box.
Really nice collection I remember I had all of them back in the day. I have some of them today I'm starting my collection again alright have a good one.
Not sure why I like those these Hero cars wayyyyy more than the current ones, maybe its more tasteful? Rocking video O-Dawg!
Thanks buddy! I also really like the older cars, just so nostalgic and well built!
Freakin awesome! I love these long vids so much. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your support, comment, and watching my vids... I'm very happy you are enjoying this series. Comments like yours are what make sharing my collection with everyone on TH-cam worth while! :)
Love those superhero cars! A pristine Scene Machine!
They are indeed cool!
Ahhhhhh, 1979. My 1st KISS concert and setting my HW track from the top of a staircase that went downstairs then into a loop to loop and on.
Taking my TCR set to a friends that had an older TCR set and having a super huge raceway with those stunt cars. I wonder what happened to my purple Golden Crown bag full of diecast cars? Oh well. They were so played with but I only bought those that would have worked best on tracks.
Great video as usual.
I've always kept my cars in the packages only have opened about 200 of them but I don't think I will ever sell any I going to fully enjoy them, thank you for this video
WOW this is crazy! you have the coolest cars around!
Beautiful collection💯 I have a stutz blackhawk 1979👍🏎
These vids are awesome and bring back great childhood memories
Awesome! Good to see some new content!
Thanks cuz!! Nice to see a comment from you, thanks for watching!
Awesome video
Very informative
It's funny the bywayman is a Chevy and the same chassis is used on the Baja breaker and that's a Ford
Hence my confusion at the time of filming I think, LOL
Wow! Great cars and info! Love the burnout👻👍
I had a feeling you'd like that burnout! Thanks for tuning in! :)
Fantastic man, really enjoyed hearing about these and the approximate rarity and values of some of them. Congratulations on such a great collection so far, and hope you can fill those gaps.
The Golden Machines set is my all time favorite.
That Porsche 924 looks interesting. I realy like that Auburn 852 too!
awesome thanks for sharing and all the history
You are very welcome, my pleasure and also thank you for watching an commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Great video and commentary - got a question - do you have any cases. You know the ones that held 12 cars or more and there was one that was a pop up - these were cases that had graphics of Hot Wheels on them back in the day? I don't know if you did a video on cases but was just wondering if you have cases that you like over other ones. Or if you had a special collection of them. Thanks for the video!
Thanks very much for the question, I do have quite a few of the 12 car cases from across the years, some from Mattel, Matchbox, and other brands. I'll include those in an upcoming video!
Fabulous video once again!....great stuff and your collection never ceases to amaze. Those vans with the viewfinders are super cool....reminds me of the old GAF viewfinders.
Another great video- loving this by-year series!
Amazing vid and cars!!
Man, great video overview! Thanx a lot, your videos are helping me a lot to sort and check my personal vintage HW collection!
I love watching your videos I use to have well over 2000 hot wheels but they got lost in a fire I am hoping to get back in to it soon that's a lot of money to
I am sorry to hear of your loss, personally I would be devastated if that happened to me, as I am sure you were. Good luck with rebuilding the collection, and happy hunting!
Very happy my father bought me these by the hundreds as a kid good times
Looking forward to this, the blackwall bug has bitten me hard, just been totting up my spend on eBay since 1st July and I'm into £200, lol.
It is an addictive hobby, especially when you like the vintage stuff and enjoy the hunt!
I tend to be cheap when getting old black walls, so most of what I have have play wear on them.
AWESOME JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Awesome video. It was quite absorbing! You have a very similar collecting criteria as I do except we have quite different budgets! So, prior to 1990, I settle for completing the casting even if its a later reissue, and exercise patience until I find the original for that year, a slow deal! Have you completed all years from 1968 to 2017?
Thanks for watching and your comment! Completing a casting collection is no small feat either, good for you! To answer your question, my collection of Hot Wheels is mostly complete from 1974 to 1995, and about 60% of all castings beyond that. I don't collect fantasy models beyonf 1995, hence the lower percentage. Also, pre-1974 is beyond my price range for collecting, hence I have not started that collection and have very few cars from that time period.
I collect just castings from 68 to 2018
LoL on the Scene Machines the Moto Cross Team a driver looking back and some other things on the floor...... That was Dave come on man you know Dave geeez he's more then some things on the floor, Spider man is shooting web at Dr. Doom. Great collection really enjoy seeing and hearing about them.
hey wtffor, I collect the pullback cars. Have every scorcher carded and various loose. really nice collection you have here. i had a scorcher chamber as a kid. there are a few other very cool line of pullbacks from matchbox and mego from around the same era. cheers!!!
I find it amazing how much these cars have influenced our lives from childhood to adult and the collecting culture of it
From crashing and bashing them as kids
To carefully handling them rarely rolled
Dare not roll them on concrete asphalt or cement
Table top testing mostly as adults.
LOL if We only knew now what we didn't know then. 😃
nowadays
Nice vid !
I have several of these including my Golden Machines. Bought them from Matcos in Belton Missouri
great video!!😃
Greased Gremlin was one my favorite ones ever
Rain days in school we used line them up on bottom of caulk board rails both push them head on Hate think how many we destroyed
Nice video
this is a awesome video bro, great collection! subbed to your channel 😊
Thanks man! Making these types of videos for years of Hot Wheels, and lots of other stuff too!
wtffor no worries mate, hot wheels are cool, i only started collecting them a few years ago, got around 300 now ,still boxed lol. they were my favourite toys when i was younger,,, im 40 now and all of a sudden i just had to start collecting them lol
hey are you going to do another big m2 haul also nice video
I have not bought any more M2 other then the AutoTrucks 6 vehicle set, which I reviewed in a recent video alongside Hot Wheels Car Culture Race Day. Did you see that one?
yes i did but nice vid i really enjoyes seing those i am only 10 years old but i have 354 m2 machines i love 1958 apaches
33:57 That Spiderman Car Came With The Web Of Terror Stunt Set.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, lots of good info! I have a 1979 Hot wheels car (Hong Kong base) that was not included in your line-up, just wondering what it is? No model name on the base.
i love hot wheels
Dude I'm a Captain America fanatic! That van with the scene is pure insanity! ...specially in that condition! I heard your price evaluation however in the off chance you were going to sell this item, how much would you ask for it?? All hypothetical of course!
Edit: ...or the second grade Captain America FireBird!??
you are awesome man!
Super hot wheels top cool 😊
I just found a greenish 1979 hot wheels in my yard the other day, I didn't see it on this video
I saw a 1980's hotwheel at my bestfriend's house!
You should ask if your friend will trade with you, or part with the Hot Wheel! They are getting hard to find!
wtffor I have 25 80s hot wheels I'm a 12 year old collecter with a collecter guide and 1,000 hot wheels. If you have any cars you don't want I'll take em.i also trade.
NICE!!!!!!!!
Awesome video, thanks so much! Wanted to also ask: I have a mint loose Gleamer Patrol with a black interior. It's very rare. Any idea of its value?
I have one myself, also mint, and it took quite a while to hunt that variation down. I believe I paid around $30 or so for that car loose. The more common variation is worth around $3 to $5 mint on card. Hope that helps! :)
Thanks, man. I only paid $4 for mine. I didn't know about this rare variation and bought it just to have a Gleamer Patrol. It was mint on card and I opened it, only to realize it had a black interior. Oh, whatever happened with the Tonka truck contest?
Nice!
16:58 my friend had this car. he was 6 and I was 9. I wanted it so bad but it was his favorite. he wouldn't trade it for anything. even when I gave him all my cars when I was 13 and "grew out of them". (regrets)
This rules!
I’m partial to the ford f100 with the dirt bikes I’m a f150 guy 2015 and 56 my year I ws born and I have a 2014 Honda crf 250l
That A trucking one with the dump truck part, I have an orange one without the dump truck part
What was the Canadian retail of a hotwheels in 1979? Tx, great video as always love watching.
Amazingly, Hot Wheels have been sold for between $1 and $2 for their entire existence, the first cars in 1968 cost $1 each, and to this day they can be bought for the same, regardless of inflation. Yes there is more plastic in the cars, but the main reason that Mattel can maintain the affordability is that the cars are produced in such mass numbers, millions per year or more, so the cost remains low. Thanks for watching, and commenting!
I found a scorchers at a flea market!
Great find!
I have a yellow 5 fire chief. Do you know the value mint? Mine is played with but is still in great shape with the side tempos all in tact.
Thanks for the info, I believe it must be a variation then. As for value, that's a tough one. For an extreme collector, the value would be higher then the $10 I paid for mine, but then again I already have one. I would put a value on it of $20 if advertised correctly.
wtffor thanks! It might be my rarest car, as most of mine are quite common! $20 mint isn't bad for a highway patrol! Thanks again for a good video
wtffor I made a video showing it if you're interested a few hours ago. I mentioned this video because I hadn't noticed it until now.
Top ❤😊
I have 2 hi tail haulers but one has a variation. I don't know if it's legit. I got it at a flea market. It cost me $1. It has a gold base as opposed to the chrome one. Did you know about that, or is it fake? The rivet looks alright but the axles look a little shady.
Sometimes the chrome plastic bases turn gold for whatever reason, something to due with aging under certain conditions. Most likely it is legit, unless the base has been obviously painted.
This is complete 1979? I have 2 79s not in video. 34 ford could red line and vette-van. I'm not sure and by far no expert, did they produce cars that use different years then when manufactured?
I have an 1979 Hot wheels car, by the way I don't know which car it is? But I'm 8 years old so how do I have it? Obviously my dad gave it, it's not strached or the paint is off, it's all neat and clean and no straches, just good as new!
I have a few of those cars but mine are in played with condition.
Nothing wrong with 'played with condition'... just means the cars have stories to tell. I love my chipped and played with cars, and wouldn't part with them.... in future I will make a video on my played with cars.
If The "byway man" was a new casting in 79 how is it I have some models say 77 on the bottom?! The post are not drilled out.
Many castings had the date a year or two earlier than the actual release. Likely a copyright issue and / or prototype development of the casting before actual release year.
@@wtffor thank you very kindly I actually had that question for quite some time
I got the Letter Getter with the plastic base in mint condition at my local flea market for 3 dollars. Is that a good find?
Did you ever find your mint Variation example of the mongoose dragster?
Yes, thankfully it was right in on the display wall :)
I don't remember Scorchers... I would have been about the right age for them too
I have a feeling they weren't sold in all stores, and they definitely weren't as popular or produced in nearly the same numbers as 'mainline' Hot Wheels of the time. Hence probably fairly hard to find for most people. Thanks for the comment, and watching! :)
I have many of them in my Hot Wheels Rally case. Far from mint ass they were played with. Luckily when I outgrew them they were put in my dresser drawer and forgotten about.
the bywayman is a chevy
You are correct, my mistake.
ı have got a 1979 mattel corvette how much is it
Those two rescue vehicles you have look very familiar like a crash fire rescue truck that I drove for a couple years prior to retiring just a year-and-a-half ago from the fire service they were called the Jaguar used on the Airfield or Airport quite a few years apart from 79 to now🚒
Inside inside story is a mini race car
Hello wtffor. I have found a yellow and white tampo variation mongoose. It’s in quite a bit better condition than yours but still it’s not fantastic. The rarest in my collection?
hulk is missing his pants on one of the yellow cars
What a guy! :)
🎉
how many cars do you have now?
I haven't really kept count, so it's hard to say... I do add about 100 cars a month to my collection on average.
Great year, the year I graduated from High School! Do you have any cars for sell or trade and if so let me know see if we can do some business
How could they not put the thing on a vw thing?
What about any Sizzler cars?
I have the postal service truck

I've got a mint NIB Vetty Funny Corvette and I also have a loose mint condition one as well. Message me if you're still interested, they've taken me a while to track down.
I got vetty funny for 10 bucks mint with one tiny mark on it.

12:47 that's based on a Chevy truck, not a Ford
Second
Jay playz Games no
I payed $125 US for a good 40 1979'S-1980's HW cars.
All mint.
Great find! The lots are the best way to go as far as value for your dollar, and every once in a while there are a few rare gems hidden among the bunch. If you pieced out the lot and sold it on eBay, you would likely at least double your money.
How much is a black wall army staff car going for?
In good condition, I expect they would still be worth over $400 usd
@@wtffor thanks for the info
@@wtffor love your videos man keep up the good work.
29:30 any idea how much it is worth chipped up?
As long as it is not ruined, I've seen chipped examples sell for around $20
wtffor awesome,I don't plan on selling mine just got it for 50 cents just was curious.
