By now most of you have seen it.
Photos leaked this morning, and spread like wildfire over the internets. If you haven’t seen it, the Plymouth Superbird is the 14th Super TH:
And it looks neato. At least we think it does. The casting has always left a little to be desired, but the deco is superb. An ode to Nascar, Richard Petty, and even a previous Treasure Hunt makes this one a winner. My Brazilian friend who runs a well known blog always asked me to rank the Supers as they come out and compare lists. There is no doubt this one will be near the top (although I don’t see it surpassing the superb Mooneyes Van).
For those that think this looks familiar, it is very similar to the ’69 Chevelle TH from a few years ago:
Similar colors, deco, and theme. It is even #33 next to the Chevelle’s #32. We LOVE when Hot Wheels or Matchbox keeps a theme like this going.
So yeah, we are in on this one. There is a very good chance this could be the Kdays Super in September (that is speculation), and judging by what we know about that upcoming Kdays, it will be a doozy.
One Super to go…
Your thoughts?
sick… gotta have this one… love superbirds…
Will we go a full year without a Chevy Super? Crazy!
U G L Y!
Hot Wheels casting may look “different” but I adore the RLC version I have. Can't wait to see more pics of this $TH. I may have to get one.
Looks like they put a lift kit on it.
Need this and the Chevelle TH from a few yrs ago. If anyone has one spare say.
While the casting leaves some to be desired (I think it was done as an early “track” model), I still really like the casting and I love this $TH. Just about anytime HW does a racing-themed vehicle, I love it (the '69 Torino Talladega from 2010 is my favorite $TH). Plus this makes two “throwback” TH schemes for 2015 (the Delorean being a throwback to the BW-era Turismo of the '80's, this being a throwback to that '69 Chevelle TH).
So far, this and the Delorean are my only “must have” $THs for the year.
I like it but I like the jaguar f-type project 7 more…..please blog about it!
I wonder if the “T-Hunt Racing” decal will be present in its regular form as well.
It's not bad. If I ever find it (ha!), I'd simply try to trade it for the 599xx swan-song hunt.
Awesome idea! Love it
