So I've completely cleared out my closet because I'm moving into a different room, and now I'm sorting through stuff I wanna keep and stuff I want to throw away. I have a huuuuuuuge chest of hotwheels cars and have been going through them 1 by 1. Then I came across this:

A real fox tbird Hotwheels car! This was definitely a car I remember as a kid. I couldn't believe that I had never thought of this car. Figured you guys would like to see it. I'll be posting pics later of some of the original 50s-60s matchbox cars and 60s-70s hotwheels cars from my dad's childhood.
Looks BEAT. Garbage. Junk it, not even worth parting out, probably really rotted underneath too....
J/k haha :hick:
Eh, It'll buff out!!! LOL

Are those wheels painted or powder coated? Did you have any trouble getting them to fit? What's the back spacing? Does that side exhaust blacken the rear wheel? :mullet:
Awesome!
I recently found my childhood Fox Hotwheels also (Including that one!)
Haha I may have too look thru mine but they are mostly old Chevys, haha i have a couple 60's style cougars... i dont think i have any fox hotwheels.... wow they might be getting rare haha.
I have a few of those in various paint jobs, they're packed somewhere...lol.:D
Don't recall seeing a Hot Wheels TBird painted like that but here's one with the same wheels.
Not a Hot Wheels but if you like the 83-86 Birds these are nicely detailed cars, and take a lot less room than the big ones! :D
I have a few 87-88's stashed away somewhere.
I posted a pic of my fox matchboxes here:

I wish they would have made a fox cougar matchbox, I don't think they did...
Cool post....I know this isn't the For Sale section, but if anyones interested, I have a pair of the Matchbox 87-88 Turbo Coupes new in packages here. One's red and the others green. PM me if you'd like pics.
Later, RAY
