Spectraflame painted gems from the past

I love Hot Wheels, especially redline Hot Wheels which were first produced in the late 1960's by the Mattel toy company. Many of these diecast Redline Hot Wheels are extremely valuable and make for a great hobby to collect.

Vintage Redline Hot Wheels

Old Hot Wheels make for a fun hobby.

My name is Eric and I have been a Hot Wheels enthusiast since the late 1960's when was a kid. Vintage Hotwheels are great collectibles, these Mattel diecast gems rarely if ever lose their value and most importantly they are a fun to collect! Several years back I decided to drag out my old Hot Wheels collection and my brother talked me into putting one of my Hot Wheels up for auction on eBay. I was shocked when the car sold for $256!

I sold several of my old Hot Wheels on eBay but have since decided that they are more valuable to me if I keep them rather than losing them for a quick buck.

Some of my all-time favorite Redline Hot Wheels were: TheBeatnik Bandit, Custom Barracuda, Custom Camaro, Custom Corvette, Custom Cougar, Custom Eldorado, Custom Firebird, Custom Fleetside, Custom Mustang, Custom T-Bird, and my personal favorite the Custom Volkswagen.

Spectraflame Paint
Redline Hot Wheels came in a rainbow of Spectraflame paint. Spectraflame was a shiny metallic paint that was the signature of the early Redline Hot Wheels. The Spectraflame paint really made redline Hot Wheels seem like valuable gems. And since some colors of spectraflame are more rare than others, certain colored Hot Wheels can be extremely valuable.

After my brief stint selling some of my old Hot Wheels on eBay I began to buy (re-collect) Hot Wheels from eBay. I also became obsessed with trying to find Hot Wheels at garage sales and antique stores. It wasn't long until the quest to find old vintage Hot Wheels was consuming my life.

Eventually I stopped buying or selling old Redline Hot Wheels. Now I just enjoy the old Hot Wheels that I have and I started a website called The Redline Locator so that I can help connect redline Hot Wheels with folks that want to start, or add to, their collection.
