Up for sale is an incredibly rare, authentic piece of Hot Wheels history: the 1968 "Sweet Sixteen" Custom Volkswagen Beetle Ultra Rare European Market "No Sunroof" (NSR) Variant.

Serious Redline collectors know this is one of the true "Holy Grails" of the original 1968 lineup. This is NOT the common 1974 Flying Colors reissue, this is the genuine 1968 first generation original, verified by its unique casting details.

Key Features Collector Markers:
• No Sunroof / Smooth Roof: Factory smooth top, highly limited promotional release.
• No Side Glass: Distinctive to the true '68 European tool mold completely open side door windows with zero clear plastic filler.
• Hong Kong Base: Clearly stamped on the rear axle plate ("Hong Kong", "©1967 Mattel Inc").
• Color: Brilliant Spectraflame Aqua / Teal with excellent original luster.
• Interior Glass: Authentic white/cream interior bucket with a blue-tinted front/rear windshield.

Condition Report:
This car is in 100% original, unrestored, and untouched condition. It shows honest, vintage playwear consisting of "flea bites" and paint chipping along the roof, fenders, and high edges (please review the high resolution photos carefully). The original redline wheels are intact with visible red bands and light chrome wear on the hubs. The front exposed engine and side exhaust pipes are complete and securely attached.
Cars like this rarely surface outside of private collections, especially in the desirable Aqua casting. Do not miss your chance to fill the ultimate gap in your display case.

Please look at pictures for any flaws or imperfections as they are part of the description. Will have to sign for it upon delivery through usps. If you have any questions feel free to message me. Thank you for looking and have a good day/night.
