The story behind the 8 Crate
The 8 Crate released in 2015 as a highly sought after Super Treasure Hunt model within the HW Garage series. Designed by Phil Riehlman, this station wagon captures classic American muscle style with aggressive pinstriping and custom detailing. Unlike standard Mainline releases found on store shelves every year, Super Treasure Hunts are extremely rare versions featuring unique Spectraflame paint that shines like liquid metal under light. This specific iteration features a deep red finish over its plastic body. Collectors eagerly hunt for this car because of the special flame logo marking and limited production run typical of these elite releases. It stands out as one of the more prized finds from the 2015 lineup.
Materials, colors and value
This 1/64 scale model features a durable plastic base material designed to highlight its vibrant exterior finish. The body showcases Spectraflame Dark Red paint, giving it an exclusive metallic glow that separates it from regular models. Chrome accents on the interior engine and grille add realistic detail under bright lighting conditions. Distinctive purple tinted windows frame the cabin while black pinstriping contrasts sharply against the red surface along the sides and hood. The black base completes the look with clean styling lines. Because of its Super Treasure Hunt status, this car holds significant value among serious diecast enthusiasts looking to complete their high end collection.
Questions about the 8 Crate
How do I know if my Hot Wheels 8 Crate is a real Super Treasure Hunt?+
You can identify an authentic Super Treasure Hunt by checking for the small flame logo stamped on the base near one of the rear wheels. This model also features special Spectraflame paint which has a unique metallic shimmer compared to standard glossy finishes used in regular Mainline releases.
What makes the 2015 HW Garage 8 Crate worth more than normal cars?+
This car is valued highly due to its Super Treasure Hunt rarity status. These models are produced in much smaller quantities compared to everyday Mainline items found at retail stores. The combination of limited availability and special Spectraflame coloring drives up collector demand significantly over time.
Is the body metal or plastic on this 8 Crate model?+
According to official specifications for this specific SKU CFJ43, the base material is listed as plastic. While many premium diecast models utilize all-metal bodies today, certain Mainline and Treasure Hunt vehicles from earlier years were manufactured primarily using durable high-quality molded plastics.
