Hot Wheels VW SP2 and Tyrrell P34 six-wheeled F1 car

Was at Target yesterday and found these.  At $0.97 each, I had to get them.  These have to be the most obscure real cars in Hot Wheels' current line-up.  My question is: Hot Wheels cars were selling for $0.99 30 years ago.  How can they be even cheaper now?

    Too bad they got the SP2's birthplace wrong. It was entirely conceived in Brazil.

    @F1O: I noticed that too when I bought it. If it weren't for you bringing it up a while back here, I would have never given the car a second glance.

    That is really cool. I have a hap hazard collection go Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars. Not many anymore, but I do troll the aisles to find a vehicle that is unique. I think you trumped me there. Good find.

    As far as cost, it does surprise me that the cost have stayed relatively unchanged since I was a kid in the 1980's. Not that I am complaining....
