Hi, this is my first post on the forums. I've been collecting Hot Wheels (and others) since I was a kid, but it kicked into high gear in the '90s and I've amassed a small collection of mostly store-bought vehicles and a few Collectors Club items.

One of the cars I have is a Hot Wheels Classics (series 2) from a number of years ago and inside the blister pack is clearly a 1965 Mustang, but the packaging is marked for a 1967 Pontiac GTO (#14 of 30).

Does anyone know if these kinds of oddballs are worth anything compared to their properly-marked counterparts?

 

The image is attached.

not much more...packaging errors are not what most error collectors are into. Most are into errors to the actual car

Thanks. Yes, I've been reading the forums a bit and I'm noticing that there are some real oddball errors out there; mismatched wheels and more. I'll have to go through my collection to see if there's anything like that in there.

 

This Mustang is part of a large set of Mustang cars I've assembled for my oldest daughter since she's a fan of the cars.

I still grab every miscarded car I find, right along with just about every other error. I think I own fewer 

Miscarded than I do unspuns.

that's quite the opposite with me. I don't even buy miscarded and own 1 unspun that was given to me. BUT, I don't check the rivets on every car I touch...which might be the reason
