Is it a Redline? Ten seconds.

  1. 1

    Look at the tires.

    A thin red stripe around the tire means it was made between 1968 and 1977.

  2. 2

    Flip it over.

    The base says Hong Kong or USA, with a year from the late 1960s or early 1970s.

  3. 3

    Tilt it in the light.

    Candy-colored Spectraflame paint shines over the bare metal.

Not sure? Text me a photo of the tires and the base, and I'll help you figure it out. See the full guide

Try it: which one's the Redline?

Two of my Camaros. One is an original, one is from 1982.

Tap a car to flip it over and read the base.

Why I do this

Hot Wheels were my favorite toy as a kid. Years later I found a few Redlines at a yard sale and they took me right back. I showed my dad, he loved them as much as I did, and we dove into collecting together.

Since he passed I carry his memory with me with every collection I buy.

I put the seller first in every deal. Sellers leaving happy is the most important thing to me.
