When it comes to collectibles, there’s often a Holy Grail-type piece that every hobbyist is after. For Hot Wheels fans, this is it. One man’s father worked at Mattel during the 1960s, and after this red Beach Bomb prototype was a flop during testing, he gave it to his son and told him to keep it safe as it could be worth some money one day. Over 50 years later he was proven right, and this rare, near-mint miniature car has an estimated value of up to $150,000.
