r/RedlineHotwheels

No drilling required for these hood replacements, these were too nice to be sitting around with the rest of my junkers.

Found this sweet side kick at the antique store for $60, and just had to pick it up, my first 1972 mainline. Those 72’s are tough, and even though this one isn’t perfect, the paint is still pretty decent and the base fairly shiny, so I didn’t mind paying that price. What do y’all think?

"Everything is for sale, nothing is on sale"

I had completely forgotten I had this in my garage. I went out there for the first time in a while to check if I had an RLC black box Silhouette in one of my storage containers (I did in fact have one! That’s one less Silo I have to track down!). But anyways, I had this basically mint condition Masked Bandit out there that I thought I had sold years ago, but I’m so glad I didn’t! This thing is a real beauty, and it’s complete! Wheelie bar is there, track guide weight is there, original number 5 rider with perfect paint and fully intact hand and foot loops, the bike body and chassis are pretty mint, and the rip cord system still works and the wheels spin! (I removed the old rusty washers from the wheels as seen in the pics to make it run better, but I am holding onto them because even though they are junk, they are still technically part of the original bike). I disassembled it to get detailed pics of the different components, but I was very gentle and didn’t break anything.

My collection was missing this one from the Sweet 16! Just acquired it today.

These were at the bottom of a trash bag full of modern $1 hot wheels.

One of these days Im gonna find the rest of this Doozie pattern....

I've been holding onto this Ford J Car hatch for a little over a year. Finally found a US rose car in similar color and condition to match it.

Finally nailed down a rose.

Blue Wednesday.

Hey Guys,
i just found this in an old storage box.
Can anyone tell me something about it?
Is it rare or do collectors like these? if so do they still in this condition? Is it worth anything?
Dont know if i even would sell but i would love to get some information on this (i think) beauty!
Thanks alot!

Finally got a 1973 6969 Snake to complete my loose '73 collection! I need to pull out the full collection to get some photos one of these days. The only 2 things I consider missing from my '73 collection now are a carded car and 2 pack...

Finally found a beautiful one! So happy to finally add this one in my expanding collection 2.0 of Redlines! The finish is superb ( except that little part of the stripe! ) but I can overlook that as the car is kick @ss 😎

Description obvious swears it's original but the rivets look drilled and the base is cracked in the back. Interestingly he's asking what would be an absurd amount for a normal Red Baron but way less than a white interior one. Description also never mentions interior, so it almost makes me wonder if he has no idea that's a thing.

Heavily underrated and underutilized casting. Idk why people think its ugly. I think this was a great model!

Tom McEwen & Don Prudhomme WERE the Wildlife Racing Team. Spotted this jacket at the NHRA museum in Pomona.

Larry Wood strikes again!

Just wanted to share this interesting look at the paint underneath the engine on this Vicky, which hadn’t reacted with UV. This one looks like it went from pretty Green to light Blue!

Hi! We're university students working on a project with Mattel, testing a new concept for adult Hot Wheels collectors. The survey is anonymous and takes about 3 minutes — your honest opinion would really help us out.
