Just came across the coolest hotwheels car ever!

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.

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:

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
