Here's a "What If" question...
What if Mattel made the Dixie Challenger during the "Redline Spectraflame" era? Let's say 1970 when candy color spectraflame colors were the rage with those wheels that would really spin! Yes were talkin' the Redline Era from 1968 - 1972!
So what would be the style and look of this muscle car?
I'm curious how this Hemi engine beast would perform on the orange Hot Wheels track too!
Basically it would have the orange spectraflame paint we all fondly cherish, with the proper torsion suspension axles (how cool was that spring suspension) and the correct redline wheels of the era that would spin forever. An opening hood showing the Hemi engine would be over the top (sadly this option was not available on the bay). The other feature would be a metal undercarriage as all Redline era Hot Wheels possessed.
I just adore the orange spectraflame shine...
Painted front grill is a must also.
This looks like a powerful beast with a metal undercarriage!
This top view really shows the outstanding features of this redline era model. What a beauty!
The rear view, painted tail lights are also a must have feature in my opinion. Real sweet!
The die-cast base is nice feature we lacked on this model when it was released back in 1981.
Well here it is now sporting a heavy metal chassis and frame. Unfortunately "Dixie Challenger" text name is missing on the base.
Perhaps in the near future the RLC will implement this one!
