Hey! I used to collect those as a kid and I stored them in a mattel carrying case -but not a Hot Wheels case (dang). But I have probably 20 good redline cars from 1968-69. There may even be one thats a '67, but I can't remember. I may go up and dig that case out of the blanket chest and see them. Man, I used to love those things as a kid I played with the track and had a Super Charger station that was like two spinning brushes that would fling the cars out when they went into it! But, I'm glad that thing broke because it would have worn the paint off the sides of the cars!
I sold a few of my junky ones on EBay a few years ago. I am keeping the rest of them. I think it's the pink cars that are valuable now -because it wasn't a popular color with the boys. In my small town, when the Lee Store would get new toys, I would go in to so which new Hot Wheels they would get. One time, all the new cars were that hot pink color. I couldn't help it! I was ready to buy! I nabbed a Mustang in hot pink and a one.
I don't collect them anymore, but they are really cool little cars and they keep me connected to the memories of those days, so I keep them. Sometimes, just seeing the color of them propels me back into the late 60's. *sigh*Burger Kin
