This Stockpile of 4500 Hot Wheels Cars Can Be Yours

There’s an unusual auction currently live on Bring a Trailer that gives new meaning to the site’s name. Forty-five hundred Hot Wheels cars, still in their original blisterpacks, are up for auction.

Located in New York, the collection mostly consists of scale models built since 1988, according to the description. That means you’re unlikely to find some of the rarer and more valuable early Hot Wheels models in the lot. As a consolation prize, it looks like you’ll find almost every car made since 1988.

You don’t need to be a collector or a diecast dealer to appreciate the gallery. The 4,500-plus collection is seemingly stored in its own room, with cars lining every wall as well as the door. The rest looks like it was kept in boxes and taken out for pictures. It’s all there, from a Lamborghini Revuelto to those odd one-offs Hot Wheels designs in-house, and the sale also includes slot cars, track sets, and numerous duplicates.

Fellow collectors will immediately tell that this is a serious collection. It’s not just the run-of-the-mill Hot Wheels cars you can buy for about a buck at Target. It includes special-issue models including Classics, Color Shifters, and Monster Trucks, as well as models from brand collaborations like The Beatles, Gran Turismo, Mario Kart, and Batman. It’s also cool to see how the packaging has evolved since the 1980s.

For once, the auction comments are pretty entertaining to scroll through. One user asked the seller to provide a Carfax report for each car; others asked for paint meter readings and service records.

As of writing, bidding stands at $6,000 with approximately two days left before the end of the auction. There’s no reserve, so the highest bidder will take the entire collection home when the hammer drops. Be sure to bring a (closed) trailer, and probably a trailer’s worth of cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and tape.
