Model: ’66 Pontiac GTO
Release: 100% Hot Wheels 40th Anniversary
Link: Hot Wheels 100% Pontiac GTO
Why I am featuring it: I collect GTOs in general. I also try to pick up 100% Hot Wheels castings whenever I see them second hand for a good price. I acquired this one recently and it is definitely a welcome addition to the GTO collection.
I normally don’t like flame paint jobs on cars but this one appeals to me. This casting also features some detail under the opening hood.
A lot of the castings that were made for the 100% Hot Wheels line were very nice. If you are not familiar with them I would suggest checking them out. I want to say they only made them for a relatively short period of time but there are quite a few good ones to go after. Also, most of them can be found at very reasonable prices. So head over to eBay and start hunting!
The new blvd gto is kind of fat and low. I like it but like the 100% one a little better. I have the gold one from the set with the black chevelle. There are some 100% that I buy every one I see if the price is right. The 100% 48 merc woodie is one of my all time hw favs and a favorite 1/64 from any brand.
