the rarest colour to get a hotwheels car in is white
THAT WOULD DEPEND ON THE RELEASE YEAR. SOME YEARS PURPLE IS THE RARE ONE SOME PINK. IN THE FLYING COLORS CARS THE WHITE MUSTANG STOCKER FITS THAT BILL. BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN WE HAVE THE BLUE RODGER DODGER.
a one- of-a-kind, hot-pink die-cast prototype of a 1969 Volkswagen Beach Bomb van. Worth $72,000.00
Right after the sale (above) they found another one. Same guy bought it. $3?,000.
It was purchased for $32,000. There are 2 Pink Rear Loading Beach Bombs but they have different bases.
Although the pink cars are very much sought after, there are some cars that are painted purple that are also very rare like the Redline Olds 442.
Before I answer this question, one needs to understand rarity compared to value. Just because something is more valuable it doesn't mean that it is rarer, it just means that someone wanted that item more than someone else and was willing to pay that amount!
Now with that said, it's quite imposable to pinpoint the rarest Hot Wheels car. Yes, the pre-production Rear Loading Pink Beach Bomb is the most valuable, but there were about 200 of those made in various colors. From my professional opinion there are a few cars that are of the rarest. Two of the earliest are the Cheetah and Mad Maverick. These are the same castings as the Python and the Mighty Maverick, but their bases have their original names which were changed before full production.
There are only six cars known with "Cheetah" on the base, including one raw casting never assembled or painted. One is Gold with a US base, the others are red with a Hong Kong Base.
Some early release Hot Wheels packages have the "Cheetah"name listed on the back and are very sought after by collectors.
The rarity of the Mad Maverick car is because of the word "Mad" on the base. It was originally released as "Mad Maverick" and then released as "Mighty Maverick". It seems that as soon as the car was made, The Topper Co., a major competitor to Mattel who made Johnny Lightning Cars, came out with it's "Mad Maverick". So Mattel quickly changed its name for the car to "Mighty Maverick".
I only know of 2 blue, one purple and 1 un-assembled, unpainted piece.
There is also the "Grand Master Chevrolet" designed by Chip Foose. It was to be produced for a "Mothers" promotion. The tools were made and six pre-production cars were made for approval and promotion. At the time, the Hot Wheels and Mothers contract ended and not renegotiated. With no contract the car could not be produced and the tools were destroyed, but the six cars survived. This is a car that not too many people know about....
So.... Rarity is relevant to quantity and here are the three rarest Hot Wheels cars that I know about.
Pink rear loading Volkswagen Beach Bomb prototype (pre-production) with surfboards out the back. Sold for $72,000
Value does not make rarity. Though the Pink rear loading Beach Bomb is the most expensive, there are two of them. There are a couple few Hot Wheels cars that are more rare in casting and not color.
The Mad Maverick and The Cheetah are amongst those.

I have to say the 1995 VW bus and the heaviest hot wheel.

Ford made a production car named the Maverick, and of course Mattel wanted to add its unique character to its look. Howard Rees, a Mattel designer, suggested adding a wing to its rear, adding spoiler stripes, and slight changes to the cars proportions to make it look more racier. Originally named the Mad Maverick, several cars were actually made with that name on the base. They have been found in blue and purple. But as soon as that car was made, Topper, a major competitor to Mattel who made Johnny Lightning Cars, came out with it's Mad Maverick. So Mattel quickly changed its name for the car to Mighty Maverick.
Less than five examples of this car are known, including one known without paint and a clear plastic interior and wing. The others are 2 blue and one purple.

The rarest color is an original car in pink because it was considered a girl color so they did not make many in pink
