I really want an OOW BAR...

[adamsredlines]

Hot Bird is proper name...but yes...its a Trans Am
Roger Dodger (agree, blue would be good...as would white interior but not nearly as good as blue)
Neet Streater is the blue Coupe
Yellow F1 car isnt Hot Wheels, so no idea
57 T Bird
Orange and Yellow is Porsche 917
Correct...dont know the exact name, those all look the same.
Last two arent Hot Wheels...so no idea.

(I am refraining from correcting that these are all 50 years old, as the oldest one is from late 70s)

Opps...It was a typo. Meant to say 30 years old not 50.

I think Adamsredlines pretty much hit it on the head.
Correct yellow F1 car and the last two. They are not Hot Wheels, not sure where they came from.

I was surprised that there were any cars in there at all. I knew I still had the case but didn't' think there were any cars in there at all.

I made some serious money back when HW were heavy. Bolstered my gun collection quite a bit. Sold out wh n I saw the every day joe was losing interest. Good to see the redlines are still going strong.

I think the 971 is 1969.

It was originally done in spectraflame in 1970, then re-released as a Flying Colors era car in '74 (pictured above).
Quite a few castings were redone for the Flying Colors era and given enamel paint, 1 piece wheels and usually less detail.

Now one knows why "redlines" is in his username.

I wonder if adamsredlines has as much value in hot wheels as in his firearms?

 

[adamsredlines]

So 2 or so years ago, firearms were ahead. Then the most well known Hot Wheels designer (Larry Wood) sold his collection of prototypes and I acquired all of the Auburn prototypes and that kinda jumpstarted the Hot Wheels fever for me again. Since then, I still have 2 or 3 bucket list guns...but have been pretty content with my firearm collection and focused on Hot Wheels again. I am pretty much at the same point with Hot Wheels now, as it's been a busy few years acquiring bucket list Hot Wheels and I am about out of stuff to buy that fits my very focused collection.
