If you are a beginner or experienced collector of Hot Wheels - vintage and/or current, my recommendation for the best identification guide is the Tomart’s Price Guide to Hot Wheels .

There are several editions issued by Michael Strauss, get them all if you can they are in my opinion a must to your collecting Hot Wheels.

Hot Wheels – Mustang Boss Hoss ’302′ Redline

The ‘Boss Hoss’ is a customized chrome Ford Mustang produced by Hot Wheels in both 1970 and 1971. 

The ‘Boss Hoss’ was one of the three models given away with the ‘Hot Wheel Club Kit’.  Unlike other Club Kit cars that were issued,  the Boss Hoss was issued a year earlier than the regular line car.    The complete Club Kit is very hard to find and as such is becoming quite pricey.

This customized Mustang 302 came with the following:

• Metal base
• Blue windshield
• Louvered rear window
• Brown plastic interior
• Two black stripes on the back and top
• RSW (Red stripe wheels)
• Made in Hong Kong
