Vintage Hot Wheels

  Hello dear collectors and welcome back to my blog. We all have those periods of time when we can't find anything in the stores, when they are empty or you can't find anything you want so we have to look somewhere else besides our regular places. One of the places where you can look is of course flea markets. I have two of them in my city and only one close to me. One of the past weekends i went with another collector to one of these flea markets. There are very few newer Hot Wheels or carded ones there so this time i looked for some older ones and it was a good thing i did.



Porsche 924



The first one i found at a collector is this UpFront 924, in a very good condition, just a few paint chips here and there, the wheels are straight, the windows clean. This particular model is the 2^nd model ever released, from 1980, with the 1^st model being released one year earlier in 1979 in yellow. This model is actually the Porsche 924 and it also has the Porsche logo on the hood and it was made in Hong Kong. This one has just become the oldest car i have in my collection.

The second one i found is something i never thought i could find around here, because in my country series like this has never been released and it's the Hood Basher, the casting name Buick Regal.



Crack-Ups serie from 1985

It's from the Crack-Ups series released in 1985 that had many cars with parts on their body that would change when you hit them, revealing a real life damage and this particular model is from the Stock Car sub-series from 1986. Also in a very good condition, without to many chips, straight wheels, that still roll. Just like the name says it the damage part on this one is the hood. This casting was also made in Hong Kong.

I'm very happy to have my first Vintage cars and from now on i am going to keep my eyes opened for more like these ones. With these two cars i also found two short cards in the stores and you can see them by watching my YouTube video HERE.

Thank you for reading and enjoy the hobby and let us know in the comments what is your latest vintage Hot Wheel found.
