My older brother past away last year at the age of 50 and when we went through his things, he literally has over 1000 hot wheels and has almost every original one ever made. When we were growing up I remember him moving out and he had this big metal trunk with a lock on it. He wrapped every one of those hot wheels in tissue paper and put them in that box. I just broke the lock off of it and it has the two hot wheels in the pics above along with hot wheels that I have never seen before (probably 200 at least 30 years and older in mint shape). The last time I visited him in his house, he had a room that was completely wall papered with hot wheels still in the box, I mean hundreds of them. In all honesty, I think I’m sitting on a small fortune in regards to these little cars. Oh yeah, he also has a bunch of the old tracks, service stations, garages as well. He also started collecting Johnny rocket cars as well, and has about 1000 of those. Years ago, he gave me an old Porsche hot wheel with a duck tail on it. He painted it the same color of my Porsche (he was also an amazing model builder) and it will forever be glued right next to the gear shift. I get more questions about that hot wheel then I do about my car, go figure.
