1971 Purple Olds 442

The color purple is what makes this model valuable.

Anywhere from $1,400 $2,000.

Originally, this Hot Wheel was only available in Europe.

Though made in Hong Kong, most of the models were sold in Germany and the United Kingdom.

They also had a different interior and no plastic side windows like your typical Volkswagen models.

Because it is different than other models, the parts arent interchangeable with American version of this vehicle.

Typically, the 1968 Custom Volkswagen without Sunroof came in blue or aqua.

Really rare models came in orange, red, green and copper.

If you find one loose, itll cost you around $1,500.

If you find one for sale today, expect to pay around $2,500.

This model was never sold widely and only produced as a prototype with no marking decal on the helmet.

If you find one, you might expect to spend approximately $3,000 to add it to your collection.

The cars history, though, is interesting.

They were printed and released on a blue card with the 271 collectors number printed on it.

As a result, the estimated value of this Hot Wheel is around $3,500.

What makes the model valuable is the Ed Shaver stickers.

Only a few of these models exist today and they retail for around $4,000.

This car is rare simply because of the word mad.

Mad Maverick was its original title, but it was soon repacked as Mighty Maverick.

The blue color may have also been a UK exclusive.

He asked for more, received five and sold all seven to collectors in the United States.

Assuming he would receive more, he didnt keep one for himself.

The one issue which made it so rare?

Only a few have been found and they retail for $10,000 or more online.

There is only one known 1969 Pink Rear-Loading Volkswagen Beach Bomb.

It features surfboards loaded into the back via a rear window.

On the version that was eventually released, the surfboards slid into a side pod.

As a result, this entire body style was scrapped by Mattel.

A second one reportedly does exists, but that fact has not been verified.
