I don't know if they actualy 'finished' it or not, or if it's just a nicely-painted roller at this point; it's not registered so clearly it rode to the show on a trailer, and AFAIK it hasn't been started. Could not see the interior, & they never opened the hood.

Probably have to wait til they update their webpage for more details.

If you liked that, you'd probably enjoy this, too:

No idea. Once the JCCS site puts up winner photos, you may see a name credit. I think that rear duckbill is excessive, personally; angled up way too hard.

Well, Ray, I haven't seen anyone try for the blue one yet... And actually starting with an honest SA would make you more authentic in at least one way.

WHERE OLD MEETS NEW: JAPANESE CLASSIC CAR SHOW - Speedhunters

three quarters of the way down in that article they have a tid-bit about the white widebody.
Apparently that wing is all metal.

So, they arent hot wheels..but I thought I'd share these anyways.

My girlfriend spotted these on the online marketplace Etsy, and asked me if I wanted her to buy them for me. (of course)

The yellow one in front I believe is an original Mattel Matchbox car, circa 1980.

The silver one is a Tomica toy car, much heavier, produced in 1979.


Both are SA's.
Enjoy!

the yellow one is probably my favorite because it has such a retro look, but i do appreciate the functioning suspension on the silver one!

Someone keeps ravaging the shelves at my local Wally World right when they get the stock in and I haven't found a 7 on the shelf in months, kind of depressing reallly.

Does Walmart have the white one? Or am I going to have to use Ebay for that one? I think I saw something about it only being available at Krogers.

Just got that in the mail today.

Don't worry, I won an eBay auction for 9 more so I'll have one black opened, one blue opened, and another white opened on a shelf together

The white rx7's never made it down to Texas. I've been looking ever since it was announced and I've had no luck.
