Hot Wheels collectors have seen a wealth of new “coke-bottle” Chargers from the late ‘60s / early ‘70s as of late. Between the sleek restomod ‘69 that debuted in the Red Line Club, and the crazy wide-body ‘68 that is in Fast & Furious premium — in addition […]
Roadkill’s favorite turbo-charged rustbucket is the project that never fails to fail. The infamous #Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z nicknamed the “Rotsun” now joins a long list of famed #TV & Movie Cars courtesy of a promotion between Hot Wheels and MotorTrend. For fans of the show — like […]
The latest Hot Wheels collaboration comes in the form of a partnership forged with MotorTrend. The companies put together a package that included before & after releases of the Roadkill “Rotsun”, as well as a year subscription to the MotorTrend streaming service via the app. The offer went […]
Every year, the folks at Hot Wheels has a few, cool surprises up their sleeves. This one is two-fold. First, starting off in the mainline this year, we were treated to a new Hot Wheels partnership with #Gumball 3000. The second was the #Promotional Vehicle that would follow: […]

One of the more popular, collector-favorite Hot Wheels #Mustangs of the last 20 years has been the #’68 Mustang — or ’67 Mustang, or Custom Ford Mustang … whatever the present naming convention may be. Back in the early 2000s, it was always a harder to find car […]
In what can pretty much be called the most successful #Mail-In in Hot Wheels history, the #Datsun Bluebird 510 had some collectors buying mainline cars by the thousands.

In the late ’90s and early ’00s, several Hot Wheels #Promotional Vehicles were released through the beauty product manufacturer, Avon. An odd pairing indeed between a direct-to-consumer beauty product manufacturer/retailer and Hot Wheels collectors — or even kids, if that was the target demographic. Its possible only the folks involved knew […]
