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.

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.

Great video. Your knowledge of the casting is incredible. One note, the Bywayman was based on a Chevrolet / GMC truck

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 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.

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.

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.

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)

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!

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.

ı have got a 1979 mattel corvette how much is it

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!

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?

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🚒

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.

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.
