Thank you to all of you who commented and watched my video, I really do appreciate the support you guys and gals give me to keep creating these videos. They will keep coming! This wouldn't be possible without your views and support :)
HAY?! i still have a VHS player! if you get them i'll have the tapes!!! you can keep the ultra rare cars i'll happly have the VHS tape! unlike most ppl i'm one of those rare ppl that in this day n age still collects and watches VHS's mostly of my childhood,
Hi wtffor i went on ebay and found a plastic base, redline wheel, black with flames super van you said those are rare it might have a blue interior if you want it let me know its $25
I love your car collection! I have two 18 gallon storage boxes of opened and unopened 55’, 56’ and 57’ Chevy cars. I collect and shop sporadically but your video has encouraged me to shop more on a regular basis. I also have other cars that appeal to me such as VW, trucks, hot rods, construction vehicles, Impala and El Camino. There are various other cars that I bought just because they looked so cool. I started buying cars in the 1970’s for myself. I tried to interest my 5 daughters in cars and they each have a small shoebox full of various cars and trucks. Then when our first grandson arrived in 2002, I started buying cars for him. Now he is 16 and his cars are in the their garage. He played with his cars for many years. My second grandson was not that interested in cars. Now I have a grandson who is almost 2 and I have been buying him cars now and then. I will wait till he is older before I give him the cars. I am a grandmother who likes to collect cars AND vintage Barbies. I figured out that my collecting is based on childhood memories of things I enjoyed. Thank you for sharing. I totally understand why you had to get a line of credit!! Happy hunting and buying.
Wow! My son just turned 1, and we are building his little Collection. He has about 40 cars so far. He loves watching them go through the loops and through the track sets that have lots of turns! This collection of yours is serious! I love it!
There's so much money in these little cars! Over the years, I've seen millions of them at garage sales, flea markets and junk shops. Boxes full of them always for sale for next to nothing. Never gave them a thought until a few days ago when I started watching HW custome, restore and collection videos like this one. Wish I bought them all. I'll probably buy them from now on as long at they're cheap. Might find some gold.
Being born in 71 I had a lot of these hot wheels and just seeing your video was a time travel for me, I wish I had kept them....my favorite was my black Pontiac Trans Am and my all chrome colored Chevy Corvette. Thanks for making such great videos.
Good to see someone acquiring rare cars. I do believe however the 1973 redlines generally are all designed with 2 pc. wheels on rear and 1 pc. on front. Not due to running short on parts, that was the design. I have a lot of '73s and they are all this way. Around '74 they went to all 1 pc. wheels.
I had an original Red Baron received on on my B - Day 73. Pink Thunderbird, Gold Eldorado, Sugar Caddy. Lincoln MK 3 , and a highly unusual car I can locate ANYWHERE. A 6 wheeler, with a roll back roof ,aka Landau Limo ....all stolen in a break in . Among others. I enjoyed your presentation while hurting a little.
Very nice collections! I have an 1982 Camaro Z-28 with gold rims, 1983 '65 Mustang blue convertible with whitewalls, and an 84 Pontiac Fiero with American flag on the hood/sides and gold rims, all loose mint condition.
I am wondering how many are in your collection. Short story for you, my childhood collection was stollen from me back in 96', I had only 276, from that year to 2000, I never bought any, I felt that pissed off but I restarted collecting in 2001 & my collection has reached 1655 & 245 of my collection is still in package, my most expensive vehicle is the Delorean from Back to the Future, it's the 1 with the white wall tires, it cost me $60 CDN.
Sometimes you see a loser bidding step by step and stopping right when he gets on a par with your leading bid, or just below. Dude pushing you to the max and then freezing. Greed.
I went to the Peterson Museum to see the old cars and it was Hot Wheels month there. They had the most impressive display of Hot Wheels all lit up, walls of them. Such a bonus…
I love the history and the reasons on what makes some cars more valuable! Please talk more about the pricing and what makes them valuable! I might place mine on ebay.. I have a lot of these Hot Wheels from my childhood... but I'm letting my kids play with them! uh oh.. they are sorta scratched up and wheels bent now. :(
Shoulda Coulda, KGW was here in Portland.. big top 40 station in late 60s into the 70s.. Wish I had bought one of those vans ... actually, should have bought a few dozen of them! Shout out to Dan Foley evening DJ till about ‘72, and Uncle Don Wright, AM drive time... Thanks for the best AM of the era. Nice collection there!
you got a very big like because of your vintage 62 KGW... I am from Portland, Oregon... Use to listen that station all the time... It also NBC KGW channel 8 on the Square...
I almost choked when you said the price on the 62 KGW super van! That's more than I paid for my G.I. Joe USS flag. I have the utmost respect for a move like this. And this is why I consider myself a hot wheels hoarder and not a genuine collector like yourself lol...
The U.S.S. Flagg is an amazing toy and collectible... I would love to collect more GI Joe and related vehicles, but I simply couldn't afford it. Do you have a video uploaded of your Flagg? I would love to see it.
wtffor What state are you in? I have a collection, only about 400 cars, but I'm looking to sell it now. I would think that there's something in there that would be of interest to you.
Dude that makes me want to beat the hell out of my brother ' I had 1 of these cars when I was a kid . Even though I have not seen him in at least 45 yrs. He would burn ' blow up 'or ' smash every thing I had !!!!
Hi! Sir you have and amazing collection and passion for what you do!! Congratulations on your new finds..I have been looking on Ebay to see if I can find the California customs solaire cx4 with a blue base to see what price range and how rare they are. I’ve been looking for a few years and never come across one yet. If you have any information about it I’ll appreciated. Thanks 🙏 keep up the great videos.
Fantastic collection . Interesting history on the manufactures and styles next to each other. I have a # 285 Dinky Toy Merrryweather Marquis Fire Engine with unusual red roof light not blue I have had since I was a kid . I have no idea what is worth . Keep posting.
You have a very nice collection. My dad recently pulled out a box of cool Hot Wheels that my brother and I played with in the 70's. Seems like a fun hobby. I like how you have them displayed. Now I need to research what I have.
When I was a teenager, I used to listen to KGW. I remember when that van came out, and I had about 10 of them. When I graduated and went to work in Alaska, I came back and a former girlfriend had thrown them away. She was mad that I left to go and work and didn't spend my summer with her doing the things she liked.
Wow that is an incredible and very sad (angering even!) story. Imagine somewhere, buried deep in the ground, are 10 KGW super vans..... I'm sorry to hear about the fate of your Hot Wheels!
That would definitely be a former, not a current. I don't understand people like that. I had a lot of my matchboxes stolen when I was a kid. I don't understand people who don't appreciate the sentimentality of those miniatures.
Sixty Two KGW!!! That was KGW's call sign on AM radio in Portland up until the mid 70's. I still have my Herfy's Gremlin Grinder and Herfy's Porsche 911 Redlines among my other Hot Wheels redlines.
Among the most desired HOT WHEELS of 1974 was the fire engine that accurately depicted the rescue Squad 51 as featured in the NBC series "EMERGENCY!" That vehicle came out about a year and a half after the T.V. show premiered, and sure that due to the shows popularity, the models sold exceptionally well
What AWESOME Hot Wheels you found!!!!! I can't believe you found the 62 KGW Radio Van. Now THAT is RARE. I'm pretty sure I have had the chance to hold one of those Plastic Chrome Base Mercedes Gull Wings. Seller wanted WAY to much for it. REALLY AWESOME video Mate!!!!!
be the best at something, You Sir are the best of hot wheels. Totally low key down to earth approach I totally enjoyed this video time. I don't know if I'll be back but this visit was very therapeutic .
Nice stuff. I had a green Sir Rodney as a kid because it got stuffed with play dough by my brother. None of those plastic tops ever survived in our house! I remember all three being around, yellow, orange and green. I tried to keep my hotwheels from my brother's destructive grip but, like my Micronauts they were doomed! lol
Thanks for sharing your new found vehicles! I have many of these old hot wheels myself but I had no idea the “story” behind them. Most of them are terrible track cars so we get the newer ones for racing. My black walls were discovered by the kids and didn’t survive, :( We started collecting the newer cool classics and Flying customs only the metal on metal ones. I always love visiting your junkyard! It never gets old
I got a 1976 t-totaller hot wheels that I'm willing to donate to your Collection!! It's got a red shell with a plastic yellow bottom in decent condition. Love your vids too
I did the same as you , I take my cars off the card to display them , I started collecting in the early 80’s to about 08 . I have right at 8,500 cars & of course I have doubles, about 700 , still on the card ( just keep them though I don’t need them ) . I display mine in a wall case , jeweler case and end cap glass display cases from a hallmark store . I bought sets , 5 packs to get cars that were not regular line . Limited editions , promo’s and at the time 100% Hot Wheels . I enjoy them all
I'm fine with that. Sometimes it means losing half of the value in a split second, but I need to watch these cars in hand. What if the hidden side had a factory flaw ? Takes less room to display, then, and allows me to grab them occasionally for comparison pictures. DLM has many members (Diecast Liberation Movement).
i noticed in the background while showing the gorgeous super van, you have a red chevy pick up with a camper on the back of it. I had one and i miss it so much.
***** You are most welcome, I shall keep making theses type of videos as long as RUclips is around! And thank you for your comment, views, and support!!
Ah the memories! Back in the early 70's member of the original hot wheels club, acquired a silver boss boss mustang , club dissolved early as not enough members. Hot wheels cars need more detailed exposed engine parts, roll cages etc street machines cars have detailed injection high velocity stacks check them out!!!!! Carry on rod on!!!!
you Showed Radio Van in video i got one too but I bet you don't have original flying colors) Toy Fair) Van)>ultra-rare in your collection? as they only made or handed out 250 of them at NY Toy fair1975. my story goes like this used to run ad will pay cash for Hot Wheels and matchbox) got a response from gentleman that just moved from New York to California had old shoebox of childhood cars with this unplayed with van in it. he then said he remembered his little brother had got one too but don't know what happen it but remembered his dad taking them to get vans at toy fair show wow....in my years of collecting this was without a doubt best find ever! tomarts guide values it at $1500 mint loose. never have i seen a original on eBay just repros so know it's rare, sets pampered in security box at my bank with framed photos of it at home to share story of the day I got flying colors Toy-fair Van.
Thank you very much sir. Great tutorial!! Now I'm all supped up and ready to believe that some where in the vast storehouse of my basement childhood wonderland. I MUST have at least a few of the very rare and very odd ''Hot Wheels'' from circa 1965-1978. But i'm too fat, and lazy to walk down the steps to look for them. Thanks posting for. Know beer efekt me. Hot Wheels!! Zoom, zoom, zoom........ rumble on do nnnnnnnw whee.....
I ran across a person last year on ebay that had the entire Hero on Wheels VHS series for sale mint in package. He only wanted $5 each for them, so I picked up the white 80s Firebird.
Extremely Awsome more then a jaw dropping collection, and your knowledge and narrative are really spot on your better then a dictionary. Thanks so much for making this video !
You got the Black Van -62 Kgw .Was a radio station in the 70's . IT CAME From portland or auburn washington. Looking at it I owned it. Its story is ...I bought a Happy Meal from a fast food restaurant called "Herfy's" in portland in 1974.In the happy meal was the Van. I am Honored that you have it now. I will keep watching .YOU ARE THE HOT WHEEL GOD !!!
+Uva Musico I've seen some really nice Cipsa cars sell on eBay, and there is a really nice collection on RUclips as well. They are really rare and cool cars. Congrats to you my friend! Happy Holidays
first of all, I love your videos and im more than a little jealous of your hot wheels room. I have been looking for the speed machines red super van for months, I never see them on ebay or anywere else, so congrats on finding two mint ones.
man you have a insane collection! i have the same way of displaying. the white boxes on the wall. i am a collector too but i dont collect variations. dont have place or the money for it. love your videos
+M Riippa Thank you, and good job on getting the cases for display purposes... they are the most economical way to make shelves just the right size for cars. I love them, only wish they still sold them in stores local to me.
Oh, the gunslinger! I couldn't trade for that! I wanted it so badly! That, and the green army van that was apart of that series. There was a red ambulance too that I had. Oh, and a red baron. Seems that it had no bump on the helmet, no cross, and was a different shade of red.
Such a great expensive addition to your collection, as for your road roller, I have 1, it says : 69 road roller from 1985 & has the hot wheels emblem, it doesn't have the cat emblem on it .
Wow,,I'm new to the hobby and came across your video as I explore all the aspects of this new passion of mine. I nearly spit out my coffee when I saw the Mercedes C111. I immediately remembered having that car as a kid. I'm 54. I never understood the USA looking tampo on a German car. Even as a kid I remembered thinking that it was strange! Too bad I didn't take car of my Hot Wheels,,,but who knew they'd be worth something now?! LOL
The only problem with ebay is shill bidding, where sellers have a second account and deliberately bid up prices That's why I wait until the last 2 seconds to bid, works everytime, hehehe
Thank you to all of you who commented and watched my video, I really do appreciate the support you guys and gals give me to keep creating these videos. They will keep coming! This wouldn't be possible without your views and support :)
HAY?! i still have a VHS player! if you get them i'll have the tapes!!! you can keep the ultra rare cars i'll happly have the VHS tape! unlike most ppl i'm one of those rare ppl that in this day n age still collects and watches VHS's mostly of my childhood,
love your collection and I would've done the same thing getting the line of credit to complete my collection , keep the videos coming please

Glad to see your interest, and keeping the spirit alive!😊❤
at 47yr old.i remember playing with a ton of these shown.brought me right back to playing on the porch .thanks.cool collectio.!
Wow! My son just turned 1, and we are building his little Collection. He has about 40 cars so far. He loves watching them go through the loops and through the track sets that have lots of turns! This collection of yours is serious! I love it!
I had the black van with the flames and silver bottom when I was little. I remember the blue windows. Seeing that one took me back. Thanks.
I don't collect hOT W but its soooo cool when u have the knowledge about these variations. Top vid.
You have a literal hot wheels museum. You could charge admission to see this collection! No doubt the best collection on the tube.
Killing it yet again! Thanks for inspiring so many to continue to collect and for those like myself to get into it!
There's so much money in these little cars! Over the years, I've seen millions of them at garage sales, flea markets and junk shops. Boxes full of them always for sale for next to nothing.

Pretty cool...I remember being into those growing up in the 60s and 70s.. The Red Baron was even hard to find back then...

Thank you for the info on the '73's, and congrats on a large collection of those rare pieces, I know they aren't easy to come by, or cheap!
I had an original Red Baron received on on my B - Day 73. Pink Thunderbird, Gold Eldorado, Sugar Caddy. Lincoln MK 3 , and a highly unusual car I can locate ANYWHERE. A 6 wheeler, with a roll back roof ,aka Landau Limo ....all stolen in a break in . Among others. I enjoyed your presentation while hurting a little.
Thank you for an interesting look around at some of your collection. I really enjoyed watching.
Very nice collections! I have an 1982 Camaro Z-28 with gold rims, 1983 '65 Mustang blue convertible with whitewalls, and an 84 Pontiac Fiero with American flag on the hood/sides and gold rims, all loose mint condition.
Brutal video, loved it. Orange Sir R Roadster, KGW Super Van... Wow !
I am wondering how many are in your collection.

The only problem with ebay is shill bidding, where sellers have a second account and deliberately bid up prices
That has happened once to me, but usually it's obvious. I called out a seller on it once and he cancelled the transaction, which I was happy for.
craigybus1 how would you know that happened for sure though?
MARCEAUX ZAMORA probably a super expensive offer goes up for it when it’s like a minute old
Sometimes you see a loser bidding step by step and stopping right when he gets on a par with your leading bid, or just below. Dude pushing you to the max and then freezing. Greed.
That’s a shame
Very cool video O-Dawg...I look forward to seeing your latest hauls...Thx for sharing .....Can't wait to see more
I still own all my redlines and just about every hotwheel & lesneys i've ever bought...Nice collection
wow.....if we would have only knew then ......I got a new matchbox car every Saturday morning from a drug store on my way to my grandmother's house.
if we only knew then we wall would have saved them and they wouldn't be worth anything today :)
I went to the Peterson Museum to see the old cars and it was Hot Wheels month there. They had the most impressive display of Hot Wheels all lit up, walls of them. Such a bonus…
I love the history and the reasons on what makes some cars more valuable! Please talk more about the pricing and what makes them valuable! I might place mine on ebay.. I have a lot of these Hot Wheels from my childhood... but I'm letting my kids play with them! uh oh.. they are sorta scratched up and wheels bent now. :(
Great videos dude. Brings back a lot of memories. Thank you very much.
Shoulda Coulda, KGW was here in Portland.. big top 40 station in late 60s into the 70s.. Wish I had bought one of those vans ... actually, should have bought a few dozen of them! Shout out to Dan Foley evening DJ till about ‘72, and Uncle Don Wright, AM drive time... Thanks for the best AM of the era. Nice collection there!
I really enjoyed the 62 KGW van. That radio station in in Portland Oregon. Where I live and grew up. Then the red Barron! How cool to see. Nice video
you got a very big like because of your vintage 62 KGW... I am from Portland, Oregon... Use to listen that station all the time... It also NBC KGW channel 8 on the Square...
some very amazing finds once again,lots i havent even seen some before I'm digging that jeep gunster.
Beautiful collection. Spectraflame or enamel paint, these HW just totally rule.
I see on the background that you also own some Matchbox.
I grew up with Matchbox and still have some rare models
I almost choked when you said the price on the 62 KGW super van! That's more than I paid for my G.I. Joe USS flag. I have the utmost respect for a move like this. And this is why I consider myself a hot wheels hoarder and not a genuine collector like yourself lol...
True
GHOSTJERKER
Almost no toy is better than the U.S.S Flagg.
The U.S.S. Flagg is an amazing toy and collectible... I would love to collect more GI Joe and related vehicles, but I simply couldn't afford it. Do you have a video uploaded of your Flagg? I would love to see it.
wtffor What state are you in? I have a collection, only about 400 cars, but I'm looking to sell it now. I would think that there's something in there that would be of interest to you.
Where are you Jimmer?
Dude that makes me want to beat the hell out of my brother ' I had 1 of these cars when I was a kid . Even though I have not seen him in at least 45 yrs. He would burn ' blow up 'or ' smash every thing I had !!!!

I had so many of those Van's. Also that turbo wedge, with the adjustable rear axle.
What AWESOME Hot Wheels you found!!!!! I can't believe you found the 62 KGW Radio Van. Now THAT is RARE. I'm pretty sure I have had the chance to hold one of those Plastic Chrome Base Mercedes Gull Wings. Seller wanted WAY to much for it. REALLY AWESOME video Mate!!!!!
Love Your vids!!!!!
The vehicle shots and the knowledge You give on the vehicles I really dig that .

radar468 Thank you very much, and you are welcome!
I audibly gasped with shock at 1:37....
Same here , nope!
I'm fine with that. Sometimes it means losing half of the value in a split second, but I need to watch these cars in hand. What if the hidden side had a factory flaw ? Takes less room to display, then, and allows me to grab them occasionally for comparison pictures. DLM has many members (Diecast Liberation Movement).

Nice new additions to your collection. I'm learning a lot from your videos.
You know so much about HW cars and I thank you for so many things I never knew until finding this site.

I ran across a person last year on ebay that had the entire Hero on Wheels VHS series for sale mint in package. He only wanted $5 each for them, so I picked up the white 80s Firebird.
Great collection brother. I don't see why some folks on here upset cause u opened the cars as if it's no car cases for the collection.
Love the super van 62 KGW Radio and the black mustang. I am quite shocked to hear the price for these cars. It's crazy...
Wow, classic 62 KGW RADiO black van is awesome. Very impressive collection bro
I have the Turbo Wedge in a lime grn with yellow tail. Got it about 40 yrs ago and still looks new.
Extremely Awsome more then a jaw dropping collection, and your knowledge and narrative are really spot on your better then a dictionary. Thanks so much for making this video !
You got the Black Van -62 Kgw .Was a radio station in the 70's . IT CAME From portland or auburn washington. Looking at it I owned it. Its story is ...I bought a Happy Meal from a fast food restaurant called "Herfy's" in portland in 1974.In the happy meal was the Van. I am Honored that you have it now. I will keep watching .YOU ARE THE HOT WHEEL GOD !!!

+M Riippa Thank you, and good job on getting the cases for display purposes... they are the most economical way to make shelves just the right size for cars. I love them, only wish they still sold them in stores local to me.
Fantastic video. Congratulations with your beautiful and extreme rare addtions to your collection. It's always a real pleasure watching your video's.
MonsterRocket7 Thank you very much!
Oh, the gunslinger! I couldn't trade for that! I wanted it so badly! That, and the green army van that was apart of that series. There was a red ambulance too that I had. Oh, and a red baron. Seems that it had no bump on the helmet, no cross, and was a different shade of red.
Such a great expensive addition to your collection, as for your road roller, I have 1, it says : 69 road roller from 1985 & has the hot wheels emblem, it doesn't have the cat emblem on it .
I love shows like this they are awesome
Collections will never END NEARLY complete.....IT never will END IT just doesn't END. NO END.
Love how u open ur cars u colllect different this is cool
Wow,,I'm new to the hobby and came across your video as I explore all the aspects of this new passion of mine. I nearly spit out my coffee when I saw the Mercedes C111. I immediately remembered having that car as a kid. I'm 54. I never understood the USA looking tampo on a German car. Even as a kid I remembered thinking that it was strange! Too bad I didn't take car of my Hot Wheels,,,but who knew they'd be worth something now?! LOL
Hindsight always 20/20 haha
@@wtffor Yup!
Great collection. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching!
The Zender Fact 4 looks like a Countach up front and a F40 in the back
For hobby, fun, nostalgia, hot wheels just may be the best toy on earth!
Agreed!
Love your channel
You handle them with care and reverence. Good info.
Like that you mention prices.
Keep the fantastic videos coming.
Thanks, will do!
The only problem with ebay is shill bidding, where sellers have a second account and deliberately bid up prices That's why I wait until the last 2 seconds to bid, works everytime, hehehe
This is interesting to know that Hot Wheel Redline are still available. I'll be keeping mine.
I've just subbed for my husband. He loves his cars and I love him!
