Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread
It's the gray one I posted before in this pic. Extremely rare. I've never even seen one on eBay for sale.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread
Thanks, I remember seeing that one before. I guess I was expecting it to be Army green.

I wish I had seen it before. If I had, I would have picked it up for sure.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread
I scored some older Hot wheels, another Big Sur and a couple of Hong Kong versions at a local flea market this weekend. I'll get some pics later. One of the versions I have is in a post that BigBlock posted early in this thread I believe. It's from 77-79. I'm going to order the other versions if I can find them.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread
Here are some of the used ones I picked up this past weekend. I got them along with several others for $20.
These two are dated for 1982. One has stock wheels and the other has rubber Goodyears. ![]() ![]() ![]()

This truck is called Bywayman. The metallic blue ones you found, both the Real Rider version and the basic wheel version, are from 1983. http://www.southtexasdiecast.com/hwguide/bywayman.html A note about the date on the bottom of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. The date stamped on the base is not a production date. It is a copyright date for that casting. In most cases, the copyright date is one year before the casting's first release, but sometimes the copyright and original release year match up. |

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread
This one is called Super Scraper. They took the Bywayman body and put it on top of a slightly modified base with a plow on the front. This particular one you found is the first release from 1980. Later in the run it was called Power Plower.

Here's the Ja-Ru Hong Kong versions.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread
I picked up a few more this weekend at a local tractor show/swap meet. A matchbox blazer 4x4 and a Nylint Trailblazer black/yellow stamped model for a whopping total of a dollar. I also got a couple of Big Surs again.
