I found this today. Not into errors so it might come up FT.
The back wheel has no writing on it. A GM is on ebay right now with this same type of error going for mucho $$$.

Looks like a different tire. I thought maybe it was turned backwards when I first saw it.

More common than you think.

On mine, the tire was just reversed as I could make out the lettering on the inside of the tire.

You spelled "dorF" wrong! :D :wave:

I guess no one is safe from these types of errors.

I got one too. As for the one pictured here, The wheel shown has no writing on either side of it and the rims are the same. Rarity? Now thats a good question, Mine is 1 yours is 2 and you said there's one on Ebay, Thats 3. Are they all the same car? Looks like we are heading in the Variation direction on this one.

Bvis75,
Mine is the same. No print on both sides of the tires.
The one on epay was a green machine of a different mustang.

I just hope that collectors will treat Greenlight much like they do Johnny Lightning. That is where an error is just that, an error. JL cars carry no real value for a mistake.

I have never understood why the Hot Wheels crowd has made bad quality control into into something to be valued and treasured. So I hope that the market will treat GL the way they do JL. You get no points for a mess up.

My guess is that when you have 1 billion of the same car out there, anything that makes it unique will be of value.

I'm with you on this one, Mattel has turned screwing up into a cottage industry.

There was a time where lettin a casting through with mixed wheels or a missing interior would get someone fired, they're probably gettin' employee of the month now. Just plain wrong.

Sure as hell nothing to be proud of!
