Anyone Have Vintage Hot Wheels or Track Sets For Sale??

I had the chrome Mustang. Named Boss something?
3rd grade teacher took it, and I never got it back at the end of the year.
I was scarred for life. :laugh:
Especially years later when I saw the prices those cars were fetching. :shock:


I had tons of the Hot Wheels stuff too! My Mother would always sigh every Christmas when I had Hot Wheels on my list.
"God, not more track!"
Besides the orange track, there was the fat track set.

I think this was a Hot Wheels item, but it was an injection molding set so you could make your own car bodys. It had theses rods of plastic you would put into the press and melt, and then inject into an assortment of molds.
Yet another dangerous toy from the 60's they would never get away with marketing today.

My friends and myself wouldn't have anything to do with Johnny Lighting cars. They were junk in our minds. Poor detailing, (I still think so) and I remember if you took a Johnny Lightning car and rolled across the floor they would always veer off to the left or right, as opposed to a Hot Wheels that would roll in a straight line.

Anyone else used to bend the rear wheels down so the cars were more jacked up in the rear?
Which would have ruined any value to the chrome Mustang had I gotten it back.:laugh:

:3gears:

 

Boss Hoss is what I was thinking, but thought that was the fat Mayor on Dukes of Hazard.

Yes, that plastic injection kit came with chassis.
I do remember burning myself. My Dad's response probably was,
"That'll teach you to be more carefull!" :Smarty:

Yeah, dangerous toys like chemistry sets that came with various acids, Mercury, etc.

Man, I'm glad I was a kid in the 60's!

:TU:

 

Oops! Sorry Joe! :beer

I did look a few years ago in the attic of my Mother's house, and didn't find any Hot Wheels parephenalia.
Must have all gotten thrown out when we moved into that house back in '77.

:spank:

 

I have both the Boss Hoss and King Kuda chrome cars. If I remember correctly, you couldn't buy these, you had to send away to Mattel.
:laugh:

 

Not at all Jason. Keep it going.


I will post pics of some of my latest finds when I get them out.

 

Check this out.

 

Yep...You had to join the club. I remember checking the mail box every day. I still have my Mattel Hot Wheels Cub membership certificate in its original envelope and the Boss Hoss. Simple boyhood days.:TU:

For some reason I Kept it all these years since 1968 I believe. Yes, I also have all of my original 1967-69 redlines as well.

 

I don't know much about this topic... I have a chrome '57 chevy. is that worth anything?
