The Hot Wheels Datsun Bluebird 510, catalog number HGW17, is a collectible model released as an RLC Exclusive, available solely through the Red Line Club. This 1:64 scale reproduction is aimed at adult collectors, fans of classic Japanese automotive engineering, and those who collect models in the iconic Gulf Racing livery; it is distinguished from a standard toy car by its metal base, rubber tires, and opening hood. The production run for this release was limited to 35,000 units.
The Datsun Bluebird 510 casting was designed by Jun Imai and made its debut in 2009 in the New Models series as number N4040. The casting underwent two tooling modifications: in 2016, it received an opening hood for the Red Line Club, and in 2019, the mainline version was simplified for cost reasons—the assembly method was changed, the interior roll cage was removed, and base detailing was reduced. The 2022 HGW17 version utilizes the RLC variant with the opening hood.
The model is finished in Gulf Powder Blue, the light blue from the Gulf livery, complemented by the Gulf logo on the sides, marigold-orange stripes, and authentic sponsor logos. The base is black metal, the windows have a slightly tinted shade, and the interior is black. The model rolls on grey RR8SP wheels, which are eight-spoke Real Riders with rubber tires. The country of manufacture is China.
The livery was created under license from Gulf Oil and features its recognizable scheme: light blue with an orange stripe. These colors gained iconic status thanks to the racing teams sponsored by Gulf in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and they remain among the most frequently reproduced liveries in model collecting to this day. Combining them with a Japanese sedan that carved its own place in the history of touring car racing makes this specific piece a particularly fitting choice.
The original vehicle is the Datsun Bluebird 510, a sedan produced from 1967 to 1973, sold in various countries also as the Datsun 1600, 1500, 1300, or simply the Datsun Bluebird; the name "Bluebird 510" was used exclusively in the United States and Canada. The car was designed in Japan, and thanks to its independent suspension, lightweight body, and rear-wheel drive, it earned the nickname "the poor man's BMW." It is one of the most popular Datsuns in history and the car that built the brand's reputation in American touring car racing.
For the collector, the HGW17 is a highly attractive item: a known production run of 35,000 pieces, the Gulf license, an opening hood, a metal base, and rubber Real Riders tires. Red Line Club models are not available for regular retail sale and consistently maintain high value on the secondary market.
