New Hot Wheels Custom '69 Stepside and others - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked up a new Hot Wheels Custom '69 Chevy Stepside today. Found it by accident. It's in a 5 pack, called HW Hot Rods. Bare metal (I think they're called zamac.) Maroon/burgandy grill, windows, and base with redline wheels, black interior, black flames on sides of front fenders and doors, Mike's Speed Shop tampo on door.

Also found a couple weeks ago:
Matchbox Purple GMC Wrecker--this is another color variation. This was in a 5 pack with the green/white /75 Stepside.

Matchbox Green/white '75 Chevy Stepside. The Garage Tire Center tampo on doors, chrome base and grill, tan interior. Another color variation

Hot Wheels Copper colored Custom '62 Chevy-- this is another color variation. Single packaged.

Well the hunt is on

It kind of pi$$es me off when they put new models in the multi packs

Matchbox did it too with the cooler looking (IMO) 75 stepside's only available in the multi pack.

fyi you can take finger nail polish remover WITH acetone and it will remove the graphics off of the copper truck...

^Thanks for the tip.Now,what can we do about the cheezy colored anodizing HW has been using to detract from these models.First the blue`62 (I passed on that one) and now these.I`m disappointed after all the wait.Oh well...
Paint jobs don`t bother me.Ones like that tacky wrestler`69 I just use to strip and paint.i like that copper color.I`ll get one,strip the tampo,and sacrifice wheels from something else.Then there`s that grille?The tampos are aight on these,but I`d like a solid paint version,too.The`69 looks pretty good.I`m just having a hard time with the red on the wheels.It almost looks like red wall tires,except where`s the rim?I`m done criticizing/showing my disappointment.At least they`re still putting them out.

Picked up the Mike's Speed Shop '69 yesterday. Carefully removed the truck from the 5 pack and replaced it with a '69 El Camino with flames, which will be turned into a birthday present for one of my kids little friends. Win- win!
