I'm not positive,but i don't think it's a T-Hunt.

Hate to break the news, but that's not the right T-Bird for the TH. It's supposed to be a black one.

The chrome one came from the 16-car chrome Service Merchandise set.

The chrome one should have redlines on it if it was from that set... did someone drill out the base and swap wheels??

Bummer that you got taken thinking you bought a 1995 Treasure Hunt for $1.00 but the price should of told ya something was wrong with that Car.

This is the STD price for the 1995 TH

'57 T-Bird ... 1995 Treasure Hunt #4 Mtflk. Dk. Purple, w/Yellow HW logo on rear window, Clear Interior, Chrome Malaysia Base, w/WLRR's $25.00 $55.00

The wheels alone give it away.

according to Tomarts... there were 2 Service Merchandise chrome T-birds...

the first was in 1994... it had basic wheels (not redlines) and had a red interior... the second was in 1995... it had blue tinted windows and didn't mention the wheel type, so assume it was those lace wheels
Both came from 16 car sets... both probably not valued at more than 10 bucks or less, loose

Hey, if you like it (I would) it was well worth the $1.00, TH or not. TH's are way over-rated anyway.

Just to be safe you might want to look at your 1995 Treasure Hunt 20JK10.
The color of the car should be purple, not black.

Thanks Guys: This is the most fun I have had out of a dollar in years. Real or not I'm happy

Without being able to see the package, this could actually be a packaging error.

Nice find for a dollar either way.

That's true!

I don't see how it could be a packaging error, when this wheel style didn't come out until the next year after the Treasure Hunt '57 debuted.. it is too easy to repackage Hot Wheels and make it look real. My parents were duped a couple times at toy shows, buying customs they thought were color schemes they hadn't seen before.

OP - how does the rivets look on the car?
