Bought these four 1/64s for a quarter of a dollar each. Tried to discover something about each on the web, but came up empty. Perhaps you can better identify these.

The coiled, "snake-like", Hot Wheels car really intrigues me. What is it called? Underneath it reads: " Malaysia (1989)" on the diecast base. I want to fix the wheels, but if this is a "classic", isn't it better to leave it alone?

The black Ford Roadster with red interior is a Hot Wheels, too. On the chrome base it reads: "Malaysia (2003) '33 Ford". Even though it says '33 Ford, it looks like a '32 to me except for the grille. The HWs '33s that I found all had fenders or were convertibles.

Another Hot Wheels, the red tractor truck was made in China (1998) and has a black plastic base. What kind of truck: Peterbuilt, Freightliner, White?

The white Formula One car is a Maisto made in China with a black plastic base. On the rear wing is "Bruiser". Side graphics read "Turbo and Valvoline #15".
On the nose, "BP and #15". Is this modeled after a real Formula One car?

Pic 1 is called a Turboa. That version is from 1995 Crackle Car series.

Pic 2 is the 1933 Ford Low Boy Roadster. It's #2 in the Ragtops and Roadster series from 2007.

The truck looks to be one of the early incarnations of the Haulers with trailers release. Not sure which one.

As for the Maisto, that's the 1st one i have seen one.

That F1 is also branded as Hotwheels here in OZ and was a toy in a Red Rooster meal, but was a different colour/livery.

The F1 car could possibly be based on the 1978 Brabham-Alfa BT46 - the triangular shape of the body is quite distinctive :
