Boy, If I could have had the foresight to keep two of my HotWheels' pristine back in the day, I think those might be the ones. They had the little clip on wheelie bars. So cool, and Don Prudhomme was my hero. Mom grudgingly let me display my Monogram model of The Snake's Barracuda funny car on her piano. Top flipped up to display that Buttera chassis and Hemi motor.

HotWheels sponsoring the Snake and Mongoose was absolutely genius marketing.

(I Love the idea of rotating 917's to keep your desk decor from going stale!. Maybe I should do something like that)
