Collecting Hotwheels: 1968 Corvette

You know the other thing I mentioned earlier about the uh, the classics. This is a classic redo kind of like that T-bird, but this is a classic of a nineteen sixty five corvette. This was a classic, meaning it was probably made previously , and this, this could be from an old mold. I'd have to research it more specifically, but there's so much to learn about, about hot wheels and you know what else is hard to learn, it's irrelevant to know, but it's marbles. Don't try to collect marbles. It will give you a headache. But anyway, hot wheels and the, the other thing I wanted to mention which is fascinating I, I got some hot wheels once and they where all red lines. They where all in great condition and I found one and it had, had a color that I wasn't familiar with. It was hot pink. Why is that special you ask, Expert Villagers. Well I'll tell you why. They didn't make very many hot pink hot wheels because, well they started to get, think that maybe girls would get interested, I think that's what I hear, so they made them in hot pink. But when the guys got them they said I don't want no stinking hot pink hot wheel, so they threw them away. So now the pink hot pink hot wheels are actually worth the originals, red lines, ten times more than their counter parts. Fascinating fact.
