BEAU-CARS Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Hey Guys, i need your help for some info and your knowledge on this one, as i am clueless?!. i came across this black wall Baja Bug, that i found in a second hand store!, and i have searched everywhere, and not one place i went on on the net mentions this exact one?, however, i did find a Baja Bug, with a red enamel paint and black walls on it with a Malaysia base and a red to yellow to white flames on it!, except there was still 2 differences with mine= the one that i had found through my searches on the net which was almost identical to mine, had a black interior and the words "Blazin' Bug" in a pink color!, as for mine, it has a red interior and the words "Blazin' Bug" in a blue color!, and through my searches, all the others Baja Bugs i've seen, mostly with the Real Rider tires, had either a red to white to yellow flames, or a red to white to orange flames tampo on them with the black interior?!. So i still do not know the provenance of this red interior and red enamel black wall Bug.....?, is it from a playset, is it a rare and low produced variant, or perhaps could it be somekind of prototype?!. Thank you!. Keep on treasure hunting?? Thank you COOLBREEZE for the awesome sig you made for me. LOOKING FOR: The Lexington HW 15th National Convention '69 Mustang Boss 302, also need several older and some newer $upers and regulars TH from (1995 to 1997, 1999, 2003, 2007 to 2012, 2015, 2017 to 2019), 2009-2010 Dragstrip Demons, HW Vintage Racing, 2012 Stock Car series #121 Galaxie of Dan Gurney, as well as a few other PC cars and Entertainment cars, Thanks!.
Technician68 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 DNK maybe first release of this casting possibly in multi pack was into building plastic models in early eighties my guess of this release. Checkout Collecthw website fir more details

Checkout Collecthw website fir more details Ok skip the site above found from wiki fandom hot wheels page this is a 1990 Blackwall Mainline release the casting was done by Larry Wood only found yellow versions back to 1984 when first released
Technician68 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Although it mentions a Metallic red with Red interior. Maybe an earlier carry over production model prior to metallic red per Wiki Hot Wheels
RAUH-MEN Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 I searched for about 45 mins and failed to find a 100% match. It's a mix of parts for the variants @BUD9752 linked. If not for the red enamel body, I would have identified it as the Heroes on Hot Wheels version (with contrasting dark red paint, but otherwise matching details to OP's car)
wrtoys Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Tomart's Price Guide Revised Sixth Edition Page 75 Version C2 Red with Red interior Blue Lettering for Blazin Bug, 1990 was first released with red interior, they changed to black interior. It's rare but not significantly. Very nice find! It was first released with Real Riders and Red interior in 1985.
