1976 Hot Wheels Casting List and Identification Reference
MUNCLE MIKES · Content updated
Use this 1976 Hot Wheels reference to locate a documented casting, historical model code and program. The table keeps program-specific entries distinct while grouping the source’s physical variations under their shared identity.
Flying Colors and Super Chromes appear alongside specifically labelled pack or promotional entries. Chrome finish, package format and a four-digit reference describe different parts of the identity; record them separately.
Documented 1976 model-code and program entries; physical variations are grouped, and broader annual coverage remains under review.
53 documented model/code/program entries. This count is not the number of unique castings or every physical car released worldwide in 1976.
The list is a source-backed research register, not a claim that every global annual release is reconciled. Carryovers, regional releases and variations absent from the cited reference still require separate evidence.
Four-digit model or item references are not modern annual collector positions. Repeated casting names can be legitimate when a different program or product code identifies a separate entry.

Identify the actual release
Match the body and base before comparing paint, graphics, wheels, glazing, interior and removable parts. A casting may continue across several years; its original debut date and base copyright do not by themselves date the actual release.
For a loose example, inspect both sides, the front and rear, the underside and all wheels. For a packaged example, compare the car and the package independently, including printing, blister attachment and possible resealing. Record repainting and replacement parts as alterations rather than factory variation evidence.
Use neutral photographs and a casting-specific reference to investigate unusual colors or component combinations. Do not decide rarity, original condition or market value from a single photograph or an old catalog price.
The table contains collector reference records rather than offers for those exact historical releases. Shopping links can return later versions, related vehicles and modified cars; read the actual product identity and condition before buying.
Sources and corrections
The references below support the stated scope and identification notes. A source announcement can differ from the final packaged release; unresolved differences are stated above.
