Hot Wheels 30th Anniv Replica Set of 4 – Large Charge, Sting Ray, Auburn, Woodie

Offered is a set of four Hot Wheels “Authentic Commemorative Replica” cars, released by Mattel in 1997 to celebrate 30 years of Hot Wheels innovation (1968–1998). Each die-cast car recreates a fan-favorite model from its original release year, complete with period-correct card artwork housed inside a blue display window box.

This set includes:

• 1975 Large Charge – Flying Colors (designed by Larry Wood; green with yellow lightning graphics, “circuit board” roof motif)

• 1976 Corvette Sting Ray – Flying Colors (red C3 model with original 1976 artwork)

• 1979 Auburn 852 – Oldies But Goodies (red vintage roadster with “OB&G” patch art)

• 1980 ’40s Woodie – Hi-Rakers Series (orange and wood-paneled body, classic 1980 art)

Each box bears the official UPC 0 74299 18839 8 and side-panel stock numbers (18865, 18868, 18869) as part of Mattel’s 30th Anniversary Authentic Commemorative Replica Collection, a line of 30 models spanning 1968–1997. Manufactured in China or Malaysia, these were never sold as playsets—only as collectible reissues celebrating classic Hot Wheels artistry.

A perfect showcase of Hot Wheels’ design heritage, this grouping highlights the vivid graphics, nostalgic branding, and craftsmanship that defined Mattel’s late-20th-century collector releases.
