$72k Pink Rear-Loading Beach Bomb

$9k Enamel Anti-Freeze Camaro
This Camaro’s unusual color and condition pushed its auction price to $9,000. It’s often found in Hot Wheels loose lots, but rarely this pristine.
$8k Brown '31 Woody Wagon
Brown is the rarest color for this casting. A mint example sold for $8,000, making it one of the most valuable Hot Wheels Redlines ever sold.
