Collection Details
Nice collection from JR in Idaho! 40 Redlines with a great variety of castings, including a couple of the original Sweet 16 models—the blue Custom Mustang and blue Barracuda.
The Sweet 16 were the first Hot Wheels released by Mattel in 1968 and helped launch the brand into collecting history. With their Spectraflame paint, Redline tires, and fast-rolling wheels, these early cars remain some of the most sought-after pieces in the hobby.
If you or someone you know has vintage Redlines Hot Wheels from 1960’s-1970’s tucked away, I’d love to hear from you. Send me a message!
