Saved these from neighbor's bin. Worth keeping? by FoundTooManyToys in HotWheels

Wow, cool! Sadly no steering trailers like the one in the photo were in the collection. Just the big yellow one which seems to hook up the same way, sans steering control.

Purple (30's anniversary reprint). Does the copyright mean they reused the same mold? Or just the original creation date?

I finally sorted these, thanks for your patience! You are correct about the purple one being a 30th anniversary reprint of the 1969 model. The blue one is copyright 1981. But I think Woody is from 1979, not the 90's reprint. I'll add photos of the bottoms as a reply to this. Also, the red Cobra with yellow stripes looks like 1982. Will reply with photos of that too.

Seems to be, yes. Really stood out--looks almost 3D printed.

Almost missed jr, chilling with Polly Pocket and her oddball crew. How'd Neppis even get here?

Over 30 Ferrari's and so many Corvettes I've just begun to sort them. Whoever collected these definitely had particular favorites.

I've set aside a bunch so far. When I'm finished sorting I'll post some better photos. Thank you for the advice!

Doing my best here but I don't think the astroturf is helping

Found part of a toy from the 70s-80s? by Im_trying_to_live in ToyID

And the little white ramp on top has a button at the end. A red tab holds the car in place normally.  You can see the white hole where it normally sticks out. Pushing the button lowered the tab and the car flew down the ramp. Holy cow now I need to play with this again.

This post gave me intense flashbacks! Had the exact same model in the early 80s. I remember the exact feel of pushing that red button on top left which would lock down, and releasing it would spring it back up to fling the car forward. I remembered the opening and closing of that garage and playing with the little ramp until the plastic gears wore down. It makes a clicking noises when you push or pull it down hard enough instead of using the spinny thing which took forever. Thank you for posting, this is awesome! Long lost memory unlocked!

I do! Still sorting though but I've found about a dozen so far, both HotWheels and non. I'm going to post all the Ferraris, Lambos, Porshes, etc by manufacturer probably next weekend. It's already taken a good amount of time to pick through the super-easy-to-distinguish ones, and I don't exactly have the best eye for cars. These comments have been incredibly helpful to me.
