This is really cool! I recently purchased a similar but normal 1/64 scale model of this car, it was $5, but nothing compared to this. It was Kyle’s 1999 Hot Wheels car.
That is really awesome!!! From one nascar fan to another that is great. It reminds me of my step sons action performance 1/64 nascar charge has. I can't remember the driver right off hand but that body also lifts off.
I have one, I paid $10 for it, I've only seen three people who own this Hotwheels and you are one of them, I honestly think the same, the most detailed Hotwheels at 1/64 scale with more than 30 years, excellent piece and I consider it one of my best pieces.👌👍
Right?! It’s very very good and completely underrated and overlooked by many bc it’s a NASCAR product, but HWs has yet to match its detail even 30 years later.
This is the only one besides mine I have ever seen. Back in 1997 you had buy from an ad that was a T.V. Guide exclusive. If I remember right the retail cost was $19.99. You should also be REAL CAREFUL with the display case, they Crack real easy. You got a great find for $5.00!
Kyle Petty's Hot Wheels scheme was one of the coolest paint schemes. But Kyle had some sick schemes in his career. But the Hot Wheels one was the hottest.
They made several different versions of the 44 NASCAR - I believe only the ones from this particular line have the loft off bodies. I do know some of the others have an opening hood/trunk area too like you were mentioning.
Hot Wheels made like 5 different quality levels of NASCAR. They had very base cars with minimal tampos and plastic wheels to the top tier Legacy cars. They also made similar versions to this car, but the bodies weren’t removable. A lot of the 100% Hot Wheels line were of similar quality, some of those even had removable bodies too.
@@64Wheels thanks for the reply, for many years I thought there was only cereal gift cars, Racing and Pro Racing. I didn't even knew the name of the removable body, I bought them in an antique toy shop in Paris back in 2015, an old man had sold them his entire collection of hotwheels and there was no packaging for 90% of the 9000 models he had in it.
I don't have the packaging for this one but I did find the Legends Kyle Petty car itself in very nice condition in a Value Village (a.k.a. Savers) thrift store toy car grab bag. I was surprised when I found I could take the body off the chassis, unlike every other Hot Wheels NASCAR car I have. It's not my favourite Hot Wheels car, since I like collecting Ferrari, Corvettes, Volkswagens, and other things more, and even for NASCAR, I prefer a couple of the mid-1980s Hot Ones, but it's on par with my minimal 100% collection for the premium-est Hot Wheels I have. I also got a "twin" of the Kyle Petty car in 1/43 scale from Hot Wheels, also from a Value Village grab bag, although it doesn't have a removable chassis and I think the livery on the car is from a year or two later since it features the Red Lobster logo on the rear trunk panel.
Steve Brandon agree - it’s not my favorite Hot Wheels but it is probably them most detailed HWs car I’ve ever come across. I also have the 1/43 scale #43 John Andretti Pontiac and it’s nice but the 1/64th actually has more detail surprisingly, ha!
Thanks man it’s an awesome car. They are long gone off store shelves so the only place to get them now is eBay. Here’s a link to the article and a direct search to eBay that’s setup to send you right to them: lamleygroup.com/2020/04/07/opinion-is-this-the-greatest-1-64th-scale-hot-wheels-ever/
HW comes out with the "elite 64" and acts like it's hot shit. The product in this video and the "100% hot wheels" of old proves that hot wheels can do better and for a much lower price. The reason they won't is because they can clap up a basic car and sell it through rlc for $30 a pop and people will still eat that shit up.
Absolutely agree. While the new Elite cars are nice, comparing them to the 100% cars or premium lines of the late 90s early 2000s make you realize how far HWs has fallen. IMO, I think that HWs have peaked in terms of quality and detail as the Asian brands like Mini GT and Tarmac are absolutely slaughtering them in quality and price point, and they don’t seem to really care about that. I think there will always be HWs, but at some point their premium lines will become irrelevant in terms of the modern collector bc of the higher cost and poor detail when compared to the other brands.
@64Wheels I just received the new elite64 lbwk aventador and I gotta say, it's actually pretty decent. The paint is still kinda sloppy in some places but the detail is pretty good with removable parts and everything. It's no tomica limited vintage, but I'll take it over any rlc release any day of the week.
I got mine the other day as well and am planning to film a video on it soon - even through the package it looks pretty rad. I’m glad to hear it’s nicer than regular RLC stuff!
@@64Wheels I'm looking forward to seeing your video. There's some black paint on the removable rear bumper that got onto the blue portion. I want to see if you got luckier than I did on your copy and/or if any new flaws arises.
I still buy a lot of the Lionel NASCAR Authentics but they are plastic chassis and plastic wheels, which is kind of a bummer. The tampos are good, but I definitely miss this era and the Action cars that were extra detailed as well.
I would agree that this is one of the best hot wheels I’ve seen
I’m not a NASCAR fan but I do respect the drivers and the car and I gotta say this is amazing looking
This is really cool! I recently purchased a similar but normal 1/64 scale model of this car, it was $5, but nothing compared to this. It was Kyle’s 1999 Hot Wheels car.
I think you got a steal at $5! Such a cool casting. Can't even find one on Australian ebay 😓
That is really awesome!!! From one nascar fan to another that is great. It reminds me of my step sons action performance 1/64 nascar charge has. I can't remember the driver right off hand but that body also lifts off.
Your right I really want it now I’m a hot wheel fan
Omg is so beautiful !! I need it ! nice video bro !
This is awesome. Best Nascar Hot Wheels Car.

It really is. Much more detailed than even the most expensive Hot Wheels RLC releases today!
Kyle Petty's Hot Wheels scheme was one of the coolest paint schemes. But Kyle had some sick schemes in his career. But the Hot Wheels one was the hottest.
I love Nascar diecasts 😁😁
Awesome. Awesome car, but, i can't need this(((
Where i can find this ? I want thie

Lionel Racing you need to do this!
Where did you buy this one?
ERIC'S NASCAR DIECAST I mention in the video I found it at a local toy shop, but eBay has them every once and a while.

eBay is the only place at this point.
DUH!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
How much does it weigh in grams
I have one, it is a Petty racing N°43.and I also have the same quality but body can't be remove ( 97John Deere and 55 Square D.

@@64Wheels for the non-removable body cars, the hood can be open and interior is the same as the removable ones.

Yup. 1999 was the year it featured red lobster

I have this one but it's the one hot wheels made
Cool.,...beautiful hot wheels. Dude where can I get one???? Can u hook me up with one. Thanks

Lionel go cheaper and cheaper, no way they ever do anything like this. Great nascar hot wheel
definitely going to buy but i'll will be upset if it doesn't somewhat look like a 3800 under the hood lol
it does not haha but still very impressive
Haha time to 3D print a supercharged 3.8 for it and do a street legal stock car style build out of it!
🎉
that is mush be $1.000 now
Do NASCAR this is NASCAR
Mercari has one for $475
That’s insane - they often sell on eBay for $20, so definitely don’t buy that one lol.
Aku punya 1/12 nya dirumah

Aaannnnd THAT is why Nascar 1/64s suck now. They don't even have half of the details if you buy them now.
I still buy a lot of the Lionel NASCAR Authentics but they are plastic chassis and plastic wheels, which is kind of a bummer. The tampos are good, but I definitely miss this era and the Action cars that were extra detailed as well.
