You could have gotten a '67 Glamasaurus Mustang (Vintage Mustangs so
far have been reserved only for special promotions like the mystery
car and toy shows) or Piranhasaur Hiway Hauler (pretty common, but a
classic promotion vehicle in case you're collecting Hiway Haulers,
the Barbie ones were recalled and worth a lot) for 16 VDK points from
any combination of Van de Kamps frozen seafood products (about two
$5.00 boxes of fish sticks or filets, not a bad deal for a car that's
probably worth $5-$10 by itself) with your name, address and choice
of vehicles to:FISH-O-SAUR HOT WHEELS OFFER P.O. BOX 6001 YOUNG AMERICA MN 55558-6001
Another nice thing about this offer is that you don't have to have the original coupon or box, just the vdk points, no extra shipping or handling either. Offer is expired now, so you can only get it from other people who sent in for it.

When you purchase any car series (4 cars) we'll send you a mystery bonus car! A different bonus car is available each quarter this year. Which means you can get four different bonus cars by the end of 1996! These mystery cars are not available in any store.
You can only get them by mail! Just send us all four complete cardboard package backs, your name and mailing address, plus $1.50 (check or money order) for shipping and handling to:
Hot Wheels Bonus Car
P.O. Box 3933
City of Industry, CA 91744
Offer expires 12/31/96 or while supply lasts. Void where prohibited. Valid only in U.S.A. Please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery
1997 cars have a tacky looking "Bonus Car" tampo on them, they include the Lean Machine (have 3 to trade) and Porsche (have 3)
I found out about this by calling up the Mattell 800 line (if you can
get through) at 800-524-8697 (usually busy!) or the toll line at
310-252-2000. They'll also send you a text list of every hot wheels
ever made (but not the sizzlers) if you ask.

Quick Glossary
- Hot Wheels
Red-line
- The original late 60's early 70's "golden age"
cars
identifiable by red-lines on the tires. They had torsion bar and later
plastic spring-bar suspensions, and shiny "spectr-flame"
paint jobs.
The new replicas do not have suspension systems, and have the
center axle exposed at the hub.. The oldest cars had
a tendency to have their tires "bow" in. These cars
that
range in value from $15 for good condition "boring" car up
to $75 for
a Custom Charger to $100 for a Mongoose or Snake, or $400 for an Olds
442. Track was orange, with the classic clamp, loop and jump.
Black-wall - Newer cost-reduction cars, no suspension systems. Most of these cars are worth only $2 to $3, but a couple like a stocker Torino and Valvoline Thunderbird stocker are worth up to $25. Some of the cars after 1995 are getting pretty cool again, the Dodge Ram was getting up to $7 at one time.
Micro-sized - there were micro-machine sized Hot Wheels in the mid 80s.
Sizzlers - Rechargeable electric cars
- Superfast originally the old cars with new Hot-Wheels type low-friction wheels. The new cars tend to be more accurate than Hot Wheels, but original designs aren't as good as HW. The really new ones are infamous for really stupid tampos and paint jobs
Collectors choice: These evidently bombed at $10, but if you can find them at a discount, these have the really cool authentic paint jobs that the standard ones really need badly. I've got a pile of these, see the Matchbox page.
Premier - this is the new collector's series with fat wheels and $3.00 price tag. The viper and prolwer are fetching up to $15.
Majorie - French Hot-Wheels style cars, selling for under $1 at
most discount stores, or $2 at specialty toy stores.
Micro-Machines
These are to a smaller scale, mostly cartoonish design, but some of
the newer ones are respectible replicas, especially the military and
the Star Wars and Star Trek line. They're not fast, but they are
generally in very good shape unlike Hot Wheels which are usually
quite beat up. Notable in 1995 line are Viper R/T, '68 Charger, 57
chevy, '65 mustang, '67 Beetle convertible, Chrysler Turbine, Ford
Explorer, International Travelall. Right now there's no secondary
market for these guys, but some of these are nice. You have to buy
5
at a time, and the wife might not let you give them to your under-3
crowd.
