NCHWA Redline Central: 1970 Redline Price Guide
In 1970, Mattel sponsored two of the elite drag racers of the time: Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen. The union was immortalized with the Mongoose & Snake Drag Race Set, as well as the two respective funny cars. A Saturday morning cartoon show was introduced, along with all kinds of merchandising items. It was also the first year that collectors could join a collector's club, and all members received a club kit that contained a book, patch, membership certificate and any one of the special chrome-plated Boss Hoss, King Kuda or Heavy Chevy models. The kit was apparently overproduced, as you can sometimes find "converted" kit cars with spectraflame paint over the chrome; Mattel took the excess cars and used them for the mainline. The first Hot Wheels promotion was issued; Jack in the Box, a west coast fast food chain was honored with, of all things, the Jack Rabbit Special. 33 new models were introduced, including the Sky Show Fleetside, Heavyweights and Spoilers.

The Sky Show playset, which had Deoras and Fleetsides flying down the track and launching one of 3 lightweight plastic planes (1 each of blue, green and yellow) into the air, was an instant hit. Sky Show sets made in Canada featured the Deora, while all other sets sold elsewhere came with a Fleetside. The Deora is far more difficult to find, and is more valuable.

Quoted values are for LOOSE, NM examples. Cars less than NM will obviously command a lesser value than listed, depending on overall condition. Also, since some collectors like to add new replica wheels to replace their beat-up originals, I've added the sizes of the tires to the far right for each car.

Note that the NCHWA utilizes a pricing method called "Star Value©." Instead of specific dollar values, each car will be assigned a Star Value© to indicate rarity and potential price range. There are simply too many variables to place a "set" value on any model, so a range will be used instead to indicate where that particular model may fall on the secondary price scale. A +/- indicates where on that scale the value is approximated, while a number by itself would indicate the value falls in the middle of the Star Value. This is also an easy-glance method to determine rarity; the higher the number, the rarer the car. The value chart will be placed at the bottom of each page

Option: Click the button to the left to download a printable copy of the Star Chart for easy reference (Microsoft Word or equivalent program required for viewing/download). It beats scrolling up and down when you're pricing your cars!

 Mighty Maverick
Designer: Howard Rees
Production Run: 1970-1971
Note: The front end of the U.S. casting has a completely painted black grille, while the Hong Kong version stops at the headlights. Keep an eye out for very rare brown interior/wing variations, as well as the HK-only black roof variations, which are highly valuable. Model was originally called Mad Maverick, but was changed. If you have a base with Mad Maverick on it, then you've got a very rare version, as a few managed to get out. The entire rear wing MUST be present in order for this model to be considered complete.

There should be a decal on the sides of the trailer that says "Hot Wheels (logo) Van Lines." There is a rear door variation; one is smooth, with no details, and the other has embossed door lines. The smooth variation is considered an early run, and more difficult to find. This feature does command a small premium.		 Red
