The 24th annual Hot Wheels Collectors Nationals kicked off on April 3rd and while we didn’t get the chance to go, there’s a lot to talk about admiring from afar. Outside of all the festivities associated with the convention, the most important thing to look at is the convention vehicles that are available at the event. The first car to take note of is the Pink Party RLC 1993 Mustang. This car has been made available early at the convention but will also get an RLC release later this month. Overdrive members currently have the car showing a purchase date of April 14th so we expect the actual release to take place on the 16th. The Mustang comes in a familiar Spectraflame pink paint scheme and features five spoke wheels. The car also appears to have the possibility of an opening hood but it will be hard to know until someone opens one up. Currently prices for this car are around $100 but we would expect that to go down once the RLC release has passed. The next car to pay close attention to is the first souvenir car for the event, the Mk IV Supra. The car is retailing for around $40 at the event but prices for this car are currently around $120. While the car is listed as having rhodamine red paint, it appears more pink from pictures. The car features smoked windows, black interior, and is rocking an awesome carbon fiber hood. The car also has some interesting chrome rims and we love the additions of TRD inspired stripes on the side of the vehicle. The headlight detailing and carbon fiber skirts are great touches as well. This car will be highly sought after for years to come as the Supra is a cult favorite amongst JDM lovers. Speaking of cult favorites, our next car is a big one. The 2nd souvenir car for the convention is the 55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser. Prices on this casting have seen insane amounts of profitability so expect this car to be the same. This version is sporting a yellow paint scheme with black top and Mooneyes branding. The pinstriping featured on the hood is a nice touch we’ve seen from other gassers. The varied tire width gives this car an awesome drag look that appeals to a wide audience. This is another car that will be retailing for around $40 but we can see prices currently upwards of $150. Another car to recently pop up from the convention is the dinner car, the Kawa-Bug-A. This is another casting that seems to be gaining some traction and becoming more popular. The convention Kawa-Bug-A comes in a cream paint and features a surfboard and luggage on the rack. The surfboard features an olive green paint and shark livery that we’ve seen displayed on fighter planes in the past. There is also some graffiti on the side that says “Vance Speed Shop”, a tip of the cap to the Kawa-Bug-A’s designer Dwayne Vance. This car currently has a value of around $200 on the secondary market. The last car that may or may not be confirmed is the finale car. There aren’t any pictures currently of this car but it appears to be a 2018 COPO Camaro SS as the finale car. The car will feature a spectraflame blue paint scheme. Overall, the event seems to be great. Let us know what you think about these rare cars and we look forward to giving you more exciting diecast news!
