Obviously a collectible item inside its original box is worth more than the item without the box, or even in a box that has been opened. But having said that, the real answer is that it would depend on what Hot Wheels car is inside the box. The value of Hot Wheels cars depends on their rarity and their condition. Obviously the condition of the car inside the box will be "excellent", but without knowing which Hot Wheels car is in the box, this question can't be answered. In addition, even if you had mentioned the car style inside, it still would be difficult to put a value on it since values are constantly changing. The best bet would be to go to Ebay and search for completed auctions with your box and car. You will find out what dealers are selling them for and what buyers are willing to spend. And lastly, the condition of the box is important. The age of the Hot Wheels is most important. If they're original cars from the 1960's and early 1970's an unopened box would bring thousands of dollars. Boxes were stamped with names of the cars inside and that would effect value, too. If it's from the 1990's or later you might be hard pressed to get retail value of approximately $1 per car.
Depends - search Ebay to value Hot Wheel cars.
The value of original Hot Wheels from the 1960's depends on popularity, condition, color and rarity with those in original blister packs worth more than loose examples. The value of newer Hot Wheels depends on popularity and rarity of the casting.
Who has asked this question? Hot Wheels do not exist! This is only a company who makes mini-model cars to play with. ...Did...
who ever this guy who answered this first hasnt a clue. hot wheels exist,what are they a figment of the imagination. what a dope
It all depends on age, color and condition. Is it still packaged? There are many variables. It also depends on if they are loose or packaged , red lines or treasure hunts
It's just a production error and is actually very common. It has no greater value than other Hot Wheels cars. Actually, most collectors will leave it hanging.
buy a new one
To get new wheels for your car, you would need to go to a mechanic or body shop. They usually have the actual wheels of a car in a salvage or junk yard also.
$15 to $20
Tommy Houston / Roses cars are very common. New, in the package, it is worth only the current price of a common Hot Wheels car at a discount store: about $1 - $2.
A hot topic hot wheels toy lately is the 'Triple Track Twister Track Set and Hot Wheels Power Port'. Another is the Monster Jam mighty mini collection set.
The first Hot Wheels car Ever Madewas actually a revamped red Matchbox Mustang Coupe. It was fitted with wire suspension with delrin barrings and new design wheels. This was the actual prototype for all Hot Wheels cars to come.*Hot Wheels Prototypes (page 7)Copyright 2011 Bruce Pascal/Michael Zarnock

It seems that Matchbox came out first but one of the first Hot Wheels car was A custom Volkswagen from 1968. I found all this out at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Wheels#History http://www.toycollector.com/index.php?option=com_seyret&Itemid=222&task=videodirectlink&id=107 And someone else already had asked this here on the same website. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What is considered to be the very first Hot Wheels carCars released in 1968 Custom Barracuda Custom Camaro Custom Corvette Custom Cougar Custom Eldorado Custom Firebird Custom Fleetside Custom Mustang Custom T-Bird Custom Volkswagen (designed by Ira Gilford) Deora (based upon a real custom surf-truck designed by Harry Bradley for Dodge) Ford J-Car (based on the real race car that became the Ford GT40 Mk IV) Hot Heap (based upon the Model T roadster known as "Tognotti's T") Python w car) Silhouette (based upon Bill Cushenbery's custom car) Beatnik Bandit (based upon Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's custom show car)Edited....Actually.... the first Hot Wheels car produced was said to be the Custom Camaro, but that has never been proven.The very first Hot Wheels car ever made was a red modified Matchbox Mustang fitted with "new at the time" wheels with Delrin@ bearings and mandolin wire for the wheel axle.For more information on the history of Hot Wheels look for a book I co-wrote with Bruce Pascal called "Hot Wheels Prototypes".
Tires are out of balance. Have the tires balanced.
There weren"t any in that time frame. pre-production models were tooled up in l958 for the Toy Fair, and Barbie went commercial in l959, these are established Mattel Facts that are attested to by the makers.
