Hot Wheels: Prices Vary
While most of these palm-sized vehicles are worth a few dollars, thousands of rare discoveries can be worth it. Among the most valuable is the “Volkswagen Beach Bomb” prototype from 1969, constructed with surfboards hanging out the back window and wheels that made it too big for Mattel’s race tracks. That’s what makes it all the more profitable to collectors, who value it at around $125,000, although it has never been widely made.
