Hot Wheels - Car of the Day !!!

[Turbo Regal]

Chevy Monza 2+2
This model is based on the 1975 two-door Monza 2+2 hatch-back from Chevrolet. The Chevy Monza 2+2 this year was only released in Orange and Light Green enamel paint, although Mattel issued this model in special Silver Chrome with a Winter Ball tampo design, as a Christmas gift to members of management.



The tampo design features two black stripes that run the length of the car from head-light to taillight over the hood, roof, and trunk. On the hood portion of each stripe, the word "MONZA" appears in black and a distinct black pinstripe block appears between the two stripes on the hood, roof, and trunk.

A later issued Monza in Yellow enamel paint shows the tampo design, which stayed the same, just using a different color scheme.

Green ones go for more than real 75 Monzas.

Backwoods Bomb
This model is a generically styled pickup truck and has a white plastic removable camper shell. The base is made of chromed plastic and in another cost-cutting move, this base was designed to be used with other castings in the lineup, such as the Super Van and Emergency Squad.

The tampo design features a yellow stripe that runs the length of the car along the top over each side. In the portion of the stripe under the camper shell, the words "KEEP ON CAMPING" are cut out of the stripe and are the color of the car. A green stripe runs the length of the car along the bottom on each side. A green panel, trimmed in blue with a yellow block insert fills in the space between the two stripes and the front and back wheels.


The Backwoods Bomb was issued only in Light Blue enamel paint this year.

this is a 4 piece set from the Hot Wheels LEGENDS line, when this set was first released it sold from 100-150 bux, I got lucky and found this set at a swap meet for 25 bux, the cars are incredibly detailed
