The first 3 Red Baron Hot Wheels to come out. I keep it in this display in my room. The first one on the left is the first Red Baron, it has the sharp point on the helmet with the insignia on it and the split red line tires. The one in the middle has the sharp point too on the helmet and the back wheels are split red line tires and the front is smooth red line tires. The one on the right is a red baron with out the sharp tip on the helmet and no red line tires. I got these from the swap-meet in Hawaii, all 3 was less the ten dollars.
It's sad the "first edition" doesn't have the valuable white interior. Those are so rare. Nice looking cars though!
Gee I just posted one too just today, and when digging around for info I found on the link below that they say the WHITE seat one is worth $ 3000.00 or MORE.....WOW
Thats a lot of $$$. Here is the link, and quoted below:

""The History of the White Interior
Back in 1970, there was a very limited release of the Red Baron featuring a white interior. Most of these models possibly ended up worn, chipped, or even destroyed by play wear. Today, only about 10 or less of these infamous Red Baron cars exist in good shape, and, as you can guess, are extremely hard to come by. According to Michael Zarnock's "Warman's Hot Wheels Field Guide: 3rd Edition (Values and Identification)", the car is the fifth rarest Hot Wheel to date, with an estimated value of $3,000 or more. These are also only found loose....."""
