2018 Hot Wheels FXY48 ’68 Corvette - Gas Monkey Garage — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

This page identifies the 2018 FXY48 issue of the Hot Wheels ’68 Corvette - Gas Monkey Garage. It uses the shared custom-Corvette casting, with this release distinguished by its gold body and Entertainment Mix A packaging.

Release identification

Year: 2018. Toy / release code: FXY48. Series or package: Entertainment Mix A. Country: Thailand.

The 2018 FXY48 issue is a Thailand-made gold Entertainment release. Its card identity separates it from the 2018 blue Nightburnerz car and the other gold Real Riders issues.

The casting is a 1:64-scale interpretation of the custom 1968 Corvette built by Gas Monkey Garage for Hot Wheels. The rear “The Midas Monkey” detail and exposed-engine body are recurring design cues; this page records the release-specific finish and package.

Physical details

Body finish: Gold. Base: Gold metal. Release cues: Gold body and base, white interior, tinted windows and black-and-gold Midas Monkey rear detail; Redline RR5SP wheels.

Compare the body, rear panel, wheels and base together. Several issues share the gold color family, and the same casting has also appeared in sets and premium lines with different wheel or base materials.

How to match the 2018 FXY48

For a carded or boxed example, verify the year, series and product code on the package. For a loose car, record the base and wheel type and compare the specific decoration described above. Similar colors alone cannot confirm which release it is.

Where a code belongs to a multipack or larger assortment, use the car’s graphics and correct package contents alongside it. Do not treat a set code as the individual model number unless the release catalog lists it that way.
