Why is the Matchbox No. 13 Dodge Wrecker in reverse colors so valuable?

What makes the Matchbox Dodge truck valuable is the color of the truck and the story behind the truck. If the model has only one or two existing models left, then that increases the value as well.

It is the color of the truck and the story behind the truck. Also, if the model sold in a store, then that increases the value. If the model has only one or two existing models left, then that increases the value as well. Once something is sold in the store, it takes on a life of its own; it takes on its own authenticity.


The models that were made but not sold in stores are called Pre-production (before production). These models were experiments to see if the colors come out correctly, and to see what color it should be made in permanently.
