This matrix covers all of
the castings from 1968 through 1972. While there is no absolute rule as to
which wheels go on which cars, I have tried to compile a list of the most common
findings for each casting. Also, please keep in mind that if the bottom of your
car says “1967” on it, that is a 1968 model. Mattel was hopeful that they would
launch the line in 1967, but it did not work out. All cars with 1967 on the
base are considered 1968 releases.
There are two basic types of
wheels, and they are very easy to tell apart from each other. Those two types
are “Bearing” and “Cap”. Here’s an overview:
As you review the matrix
below, you will notice some cars came with more than one type of wheel. The
most common exceptions involve HK Bearing and Cap style shifts. Always look at
the back side of the wheel you want to replace. If it has a small white or pink
bearing you need a bearing type wheel. If the backside of the wheel is solid
black, you need a cap type wheel.
If you are a purist, go for
the historically accurate wheels for your car. If you want the car to look
fresh and new, use the wheel style you like best! My eBay listings offer them
all. The choice is yours!
If you have any questions,
drop me a note. I’m always glad to help out. email me
