hot wheels

Someone gave me a Phantom Coach Hot Wheels hearse yesterday. What I found odd about it is that it doesn't say hot wheels on the bottom, but it does say mattel. All of the other hot wheels that I checked say mattel and have the hot wheels logo. The guy who gave it to me collects hot wheels (not hearses) and thought i would appreciate it... pretty cool.

They made the "Phantom Coaches" hearses in 2 colors... black & white. They were a milestone because it was the first time any club's name was featured on a Hot Wheels. They show up often on ebay & can be pricey... especially the white one, it fetches much more $ than the black. I bought both colors back in the day when they were first released & got lucky enough to find them in a K-mart!

Thank you for the link.

I do actually have the white one already, but I've never taken it out of the case, so I didn't know the hood opened, lol. I didn't realized they were worth so much now. I'd like to find a black one also myself.

Never seen one with a silver roof before, http://cgi.ebay.com/2001-HOT-WHEELS-...item5adfb0db7c
