  • Most Valuable Pixar Cars - over $50+

    Here is a list I compiled of the most valuable Pixar Cars as of 2/21/15 that are worth over $50. Note: These are the current pricing norms of actual sales. I know that some of you may have paid much more for an item and in some cases less if you got lucky and had a seller list it who didn't know what it was worth. I put a range on the items as best I could based on the average price points I researched.

    1) $2500 - JL Surfin Safari Red Truck with Surfboard and box (given out to Pixar employees on Cars 2 movie)
    2) $1000-$1600 - Speedway of the South Set (only 1000 made)
    3) $800-$1200 - 2006 Factory Sealed Set (only 500 made)
    4) $400-$600 - Apple icar authentic (if sold separate from Speedway of the South set)
    5) $400-$450 - D23 Chrome McQueen (only 250 made)
    6) $250-$450 - El Materdor
    7) $250-$350 - UK Disney Store Flag McQueen (only 500 made)
    8) $250-$300 - D23 Convoy Brothers (only 1000 made)
    9) $250 - Snot Rod w/Confetti (one sold at ebay auction at $88 recently but norm is closer to $250)
    10) $200 - NY Toy Fair Mcqueen
    11) $180-$300 - Bessie
    12) $150-$400 - Supercharged Flea and Flik US Card English Only (large price range on this one)
    13) $135-$150 - Bubba
    14) $100-$115 - Cousins 3-pack (Buford, Jud, Cletus)
    15) $100 - RIP Clutchgoneski launcher on Porta Corsa cardback (never released in United States)
    16) $100 - Mia/Tia 1:18 scale
    17) $100 - Laverne
    18) $100 - Rhonda
    19) $100 - Sheila
    20) $90-$130 - Chuy
    21) $75-$100 - Rollin Bowlin Mater (released in 3 places - Factory Sealed set listed above, game set, and 5-pack. This price applies to the latter two.)
    22) $75 - Chuck Choke Cables (first release on international card)
    23) $75 - Brian Parks
    24) $75 - Frosty (non-metallic)
    25) $70 - Race Damaged Mood Springs
    26) $70-$150 - Lizzie original 12 carded back (with or without Ford logo) - large price range
    27) $65 - Tokyo Mater w/oil stains
    28) $60-$125 - Memo Rojas (only 2000 made)
    29) $60-$125 - Vitaly Petrov (only 2000 made)
    30) $60-$75 - Black Mack Hauler
    31) $50-$75 - Blue Ransburg McQueen (15,000 made - mail in DVD offer from Cars 2)


    Note: I purposely excluded the below 5 items for the reasons listed next to each
    34) Gaskits French Promo - one sold at auction for $1000 about 2 years ago but in reality this is a car that most collectors have never heard about and even though rare just doesn't have the demand to support it.
    35) Motorama McQueen - this is by far the most counterfeited car there is as the backdoor specialists in China have turned out thousands of these and all of them are listed as coming from the Pixar picnic. Unless you can prove you have an absolute authentic (which means you have the goodie bag given away with the car and notarized certificate from Pixar employee at the time who was at the picnic) then there is no way to prove it is real - so no long term value in this piece.
    36) Brainstorming McQueen (only 50 made) - to this day have never met or heard of anyone who has this car AND can prove it is one of the 50 given away at the Pixar meeting. This is another heavily counterfeited item from China so beware.
    37) The 'One' (only 1 made) - unobtainable so value is irrelevant on this one since only one of it was ever made and you will never own it.
    38) White Vinyl Mack (only 1 made) - this item made it to packaging and then never released. One was listed on ebay in Feb 2015 - so far no others are known to exist. Since it's only 1 it's really not a collectible.

          thanks for the pic, was picturing something completely different in my head, I think I've seen that laying around somewhere in the boys' playroom along with a couple of gray ones...that Mack is all plastic right?

            Yes - all the haulers are just plastic including Black Mack

                      Tach-o-Mint is already included in the Speedway of the South set which is #2 on the list. I haven't seen anyone sell the plastic tire one separately from the set but the apple car I have so I listed the apple car as a separate item.

                          Yep - there will be those instances where a buyer doesn't know what they have and they underprice it and someone snags it up right away. I went with the prices that are the norm. There was a board member here who got a sealed El Materdor for $50 and that was a great deal for him but the item is worth at least $250. I will add a disclaimer to the first post.

                            Rip Clutchgoneski launcher?

                              Given that multi-car packs are already on the list, the Target exclusive Team Sets with the Hauler probably deserve an entry. Team Bumper Save being a certainty, but I'm not sure that you can pick up any one of them for under $50. Team Rust-eze, maybe.
