In a previous post, I used a five point system to rank all 15 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts for a given year, then was able to determine which year generated the Best Super Treasure Hunts.
Part two of this test is available here.
I used a point system of 0-5 with 5 being best in the categories of:
casting choice (Unique, stands out, personal favorites)
color/paint job (Bold, Bright, interesting)
wheels/tires (Bold, Unique, stands out)
tampo design. (Clean, complimentary)
Each category earns points to the total for that year. For example a car may be a 4 in casting choice, a 5 in color, 3 in wheels, and 5 in tampos. This car would be a 17 overall. The year with the highest score wins.
That Post was to rank the Supers from 2012 through 2019. The second was for 2020-2022.
Today I will update the standings through the 2024 year.
The Current Standings:
| Year | Total Points | |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 253 | |
| 2012 | 246 | |
| 2014 | 242 | |
| 2015 | 236 | |
| 2021 | 233 | |
| 2017 | 230 | |
| 2022 | 225 | |
| 2020 | 222 | |
| 2023 | 203 | |
| 2018 | 217 | |
| 2016 | 216 | |
| 2019 | 184 |
Note: 2013 leads with 253 points, while 2019 trails with 184 points.
Rank the Supers by Year:
2023 rang up a 203 in the Keck Collects system, which puts it at second-to-worst in the overall standings.
2023, the top 4:
The ’82 Toyota Supra gets a 19 here, which puts it in the top tier of the Keck Collects system.
2024 totals with 213 in the Keck Collects system, which puts it at third-to-worst in the overall standings.
2024, the top 4:
Two more perfect 20’s in the 2024 line, which if you know anything about me, you saw this coming. The Silverado and El Camino are both beautiful pieces and they join the elite, along with:
The “perfect 20s”:
63 Chevy II
67 Chevy c10
69 Dodge Charger Daytona
69 Camaro
71 Dodge Challenger
What does this all mean?
While recent years have seen a decline in the overall quality of Super Treasure Hunts, standout models like the ’82 Toyota Supra and the 83 Silverado remind us that exceptional pieces are still being produced. Collectors continue to pursue these rare finds, driven by the thrill of discovery and the passion for Hot Wheels.
Happy Hunting!
