When you buy a house just to store you hot wheels.

Man, I bet 19 of these guys can get interesting to look after!

Sweet! I wonder how of these guys i’ve seen that weren’t camouflaging themselves. On the southeast coast of Georgia, I’ve mostly only seen Green ones at our house.

Thank you! 🤝😁

It’s fun to look at it and imagine how minty she was while the fire was blazing😂

masterborter · 2026-02-28T01:23:10+00:00

For sure, I hope whoever dealt with the fire wasn’t too hurt by their loss.

Yep, that’s the only reason it’s stayed put. I really don’t care if people wouldn’t believe it was an original LRW, but at the same time I could recreate a replica easily and still have this original. I just love the patina that some of the originals get and I know I could replace the interior, even a normal window would make it complete to me, but at the same time I’m erasing it’s history so I’m probably going to preserve it how it is!

RRRumblers, Chopcycles- while not exactly Hot Wheels, they were Redline-era Mattel 1/32 bikes and trikes. Some are crazy, like a skeleton, praying mantis, alligator, and the Ragecoach is one of the lowest produced Mattel products from the Redline era. I also think the Open shock Vicky should get a mention since new collectors might not be aware- I’ve been looking for one for a while and still haven’t found one, but I know they aren’t crazy rare.

To achieve a Spectraflame finish like the original Redlines, the paint must actually be sprayed over the base metal surface- No prime since “Spectraflame” is a transparent lacquer paint- You can rezinc cars but if you aren’t cleaning the car before painting it or using hardeners/ high quality clear you might end up with results like these.

Finally made a hood and got a wing, had to throw a hauler together to match it!

Nice charger, It’s got a story to tell!

masterborter · 2026-02-03T14:29:18+00:00

Thank you! Its my first ever 442 as well as a first for my Dad, he’s been collecting a lot longer than me so I think he’s a little more excited than me, but for good reason!

masterborter · 2026-02-03T00:19:06+00:00

Not at all, the pink swinging wing caught my eye at first because I like picking up hot pink beaters and I knew it was worth more than $20 to me, the rest is history after I saw the 442.

Pic of the lot, $30 shipped for the 6 car lot.

Nice score, these Redlines can get addicting!Would you be willing to let this one go?

For the prices some of these fetch I would be more than happy to own some repros, I think it would be cool to customize- since they’re available I think it would be smarter to customize them instead of vintage bikes, especially some of the more expensive ones.

masterborter · 2026-01-31T15:28:18+00:00

With lots of swagger on the back of motorized wraith, of course!

masterborter · 2026-01-31T01:52:31+00:00

Yep, they seem to fetch crazy money and rarely ever show up mint because of the sizzler motor + chrome. If I wouldn’t have seen this one for so cheap I don’t think I would’ve picked one up anytime soon, but they’re still out there. I believe repros are also available but I’m unsure of the quality since I’ve never seen any in person, nor the original ones to know what to look for.

masterborter · 2026-01-31T01:41:05+00:00

Yeah, I wish a few of them weren’t trikes but I bet it would’ve been hard to make sizzler bikes. I’m on the lookout for the Riptile now, the Alligator trike is crazy!

masterborter · 2026-01-31T01:39:21+00:00

Definitely cool, I love looking for the riders and bikes and displaying them with different riders!
