How to use the 1979 Hot Wheels casting list

Use this page as an identification starting point for castings introduced in 1979. Match the casting name first, then compare the actual car’s base, wheels, glazing, interior, paint and tampo details. A debut year does not mean every later recolor or packaging variation belongs to the same release.

For a loose car, compare both sides, the base and wheel condition. For a carded car, check the blister, card printing and the car inside together. Modified wheels, repainting or replacement parts should be treated as custom work rather than factory variation evidence.
