[Joe65SkylarkGS]

Recently I been into buying vintage Hot Wheels Track Sets and Cars.

Remember the Hot Wheels garage that looked like a HoJo's as I think it had an orange roof? It ran on like 6 D batterries and there were two spinning rubber wheels inside that would propel the hot wheels car when it entered it. You would set your loop track right after it,,,,,,I loved that thing.

I remember getting a Hot Wheels set for Christmas one year. Maybe 1975-76. It had two shifters. When the car entered the turn and shifted, the car would get a push and go around the track again. You had to time the shifts just right or else. One car was a red Torino stock car. I cant remember the other one. My cousin had a Johnny Lightning track. I remember it was elevated with some sort of a conveyor belt to get the cars to the top.

I had miles of that track too. I would launch the car into my parents living room. You know, that room that you couldnt walk into and was only used for special occations? It was either that, or make rubber marks on the linoleum with my Evel Kneivel stunt cycle. Im pretty sure my mom threw that toy out when I wasnt looking!

I still have most of my Hot Wheels and what remains of my older brother's Matchbox cars. I took them out a year ago so my cousin's son could play with them.

Those ain't toys Jason!!!!


The crap they make now are toys.

[buick64203]

See, now you have me going on Ebay searching my childhood!:spank: :laugh: The other car was a Monte Carlo stock car. Still didnt find that stock car set though

I remember that garage thing with the rubber wheels. Made the little metal cars into projectiles! Somehow, I dont think that would fly today.

Yeah, they dont make toys like that anymore. I made a thread a while back about toys from your childhood. I think it was about 4 pages long. You should search for it. It was good reading.

Hated those Super Charger things! More than half the time, the little foam wheels that were supposed to speed up the cars would only spit the car out up side down! :ball: :af:

[buick64203]

Here's the Johnny Lightning set my cousin had. We used to play with this for hours-

I had the HW repair shop/car wash where you would have to spin the foam brushes by hand. there was working garage doors and a little lever on the side to operate the hoist

Sorry Jay.

I was in that thread i believe.

I still have a lot of my old Hot Wheels and Sizzlers (remember those).
I also remember getting beat with the Hot Wheels track, I wonder if I could sue Mattel ?

Dude we all got beat with them!!!LMAO!!!!

Of coarse we had sizzlers too.

I had a pretty good setup on the HW stuff. Had about 60-80 cars. I think my favourite ones were the Red Baron (remember the steel helmet?) and the Paddy Wagon. Like all of that stuff it eventually got thrown out over the years when we moved from base to base. Though I do remember that Matchbox cars were 25 cents, and actually came in a box... I think HW were about 35 cent... Between the cars and comics (10-15 cents) my allowance was pretty well spent. And yes I remember the beatings with that dam orange track...

[leo455]

Drool on I will say I still have the first two years complete. Remember the chrome cars? The school Bus funny car.Mongoose and snake first edtion. I still collect also.

Nice Leo. My originals are long gone, unfortunatly. I did manage to save all my slot cars, T-jets, AFX and Tycos. Been racing my whole life. Probably have 4-500. And 20 miles of track.

How about showing us a pic or two. I remember having those chrome ones too. They are sweet!!:beers2:

I had the chrome Mustang. Named Boss something?
3rd grade teacher took it, and I never got it back at the end of the year.
I was scarred for life. :laugh:
Especially years later when I saw the prices those cars were fetching. :shock:


I had tons of the Hot Wheels stuff too! My Mother would always sigh every Christmas when I had Hot Wheels on my list.
"God, not more track!"
Besides the orange track, there was the fat track set.

I think this was a Hot Wheels item, but it was an injection molding set so you could make your own car bodys. It had theses rods of plastic you would put into the press and melt, and then inject into an assortment of molds.
Yet another dangerous toy from the 60's they would never get away with marketing today.

My friends and myself wouldn't have anything to do with Johnny Lighting cars. They were junk in our minds. Poor detailing, (I still think so) and I remember if you took a Johnny Lightning car and rolled across the floor they would always veer off to the left or right, as opposed to a Hot Wheels that would roll in a straight line.

Anyone else used to bend the rear wheels down so the cars were more jacked up in the rear?
Which would have ruined any value to the chrome Mustang had I gotten it back.:laugh:

:3gears:

[buick64203]

Boss Hoss was the chromed Mustang. I'm pretty sure I have the King Kuda chrome car downstairs somewhere.

The track came with that big plastic C clamp that would make marks on my mothers painted window sills.

lol...we had alot of dangerous toys back then. No one seemed to get hurt though. Here kid.... here's a gas powered Cox car with a big propeller on the back. Take this little can of nitromethane and go play in the street! :Dou:

In looking on Ebay, Mattel has re released alot of the 60's style track kits and cars.

Wow...your really unlocking my memory banks Dale. I vaugely recall a toy like that. I think my brother had it. I think it came with a chassis too? Now I have more searching to do on Ebay!

[buick64203]

I think this is it-

Boss Hoss is what I was thinking, but thought that was the fat Mayor on Dukes of Hazard.

Yes, that plastic injection kit came with chassis.
I do remember burning myself. My Dad's response probably was,
"That'll teach you to be more carefull!" :Smarty:

Yeah, dangerous toys like chemistry sets that came with various acids, Mercury, etc.

Man, I'm glad I was a kid in the 60's!

:TU:

[buick64203]

Although its not a Hot Wheels toy, this is one of the coolest olds toys I still have. Growing up with an older brother, I inherited alot of his old toys. This is a 69 Charger light beam car. It has photocells on the roof and a flashlight. Shining the light on the photocells, make the car go forward and turn.

My brother wants it back now! :moonu:

Oops! Sorry Joe! :beer

I did look a few years ago in the attic of my Mother's house, and didn't find any Hot Wheels parephenalia.
Must have all gotten thrown out when we moved into that house back in '77.

:spank:

[Coachk5978]

I have both the Boss Hoss and King Kuda chrome cars. If I remember correctly, you couldn't buy these, you had to send away to Mattel.
:laugh:

[Joe65SkylarkGS]

Not at all Jason. Keep it going.


I will post pics of some of my latest finds when I get them out.

Yep...You had to join the club. I remember checking the mail box every day. I still have my Mattel Hot Wheels Cub membership certificate in its original envelope and the Boss Hoss. Simple boyhood days.:TU:

For some reason I Kept it all these years since 1968 I believe. Yes, I also have all of my original 1967-69 redlines as well.

[65electra401]

I don't know much about this topic... I have a chrome '57 chevy. is that worth anything?
