Re: What, What, What???
 

After seeing this thread I went and dug out my Hotwheels. I found these in my grandmothers pantry closet when I was a kid. They used to belong to my cousin who is 40 now. All the pictured cars have redline tires and are dated from 1969 to 1976. I even have a First gen Camaro from 1968 but it does not have redlines. The coolest thing IMO is the Super Ralley Case with a redline tire!

The Super Ralley Case is dated 1968. Still has a ton of dust on the top of it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

1970 ?? 1963 brought out some cool 1/24 slot cars from AMT...remember these old timers ??

Wish I still had my Johnny Lightning case. It was a huge Johnny Lightning Indy car that opened and had compartments for the small cars.

Re: What, What, What???
 

We had the Hot Wheels Sizzler cars. I also remember the magnacharger(?) where you had to turn the handle and it would grab the cars and shoot them out and through the loops. We also used to drag race our AFX cars. We had a track set up the length of the basement and had the special starting line track with the spinners so you could do burnouts. We would modify the cars with the best magnets, glue the tires on and clean the pickup shoes. We had the cars doing smoky burnouts and melting the track and tires. Like I said, how can you not play with cool toys!

Thanks for the Pictures! I had two of those, and the JL Indy car also. Unlike the cars I own today, I played those to death, broke em, traded them off, handed them down, and finally sold them at garage sales.

I did enjoy them. The watch is all that survives, along with a 1970 GI Joe. The Joe is also new in its box https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Cool stuff, hey frank take a close up of the Mach-5,

do you guys recall the Hotwheels machine you could put plastic in and make your own cars??, If I recall it had three different molds, after it kicked of the mold you snaped on new axels with redlines, I think it was 70/71 when I had it, I have never seen another one and most people look at me crazy when I talk about it.

Bud.

Re: What, What, What???
 

Frank have you seen the 70 Cranberry Red Deuce from Johnny Lightning??? I need to dig thru my box.

Re: What, What, What???
 

Pantera here is the Mach 5. It is the most recent car dated 1976.

D Yes I have seen the Johnny Lightning Deuce. I have to pick one up on e-bay as I have seen them with a buy it now as low as $8.00
