Hot Wheels '69 Ford Torino Talladega in Metalflake Purple with Flames

A sleek diecast of the 1969 Ford Torino Talladega fastback in metalflake purple, with orange and yellow flames licking along the sides, hood, roof and trunk. It has a long, sloping nose, a chrome front bumper and grille, and chrome five-spoke wheels. It's most likely the 2017 Hot Wheels mainline release designed by Alec Tam. It's palm-sized and a great pick for muscle car and Hot Wheels collectors. It's in good condition.

The real Talladega was built for the NASCAR "aero wars" of the late 1960s. After Dodge announced its slippery Charger 500, Ford answered with a long-nosed Torino whose stretched, sloping front end cut through the air at superspeedway speeds. Ford built only enough road cars to make it legal for racing.
