Guess which car Wayne bought now?

[KFC911]

Not sure which is cooler ... that steering wheel or the 8-track player .

Need any tapes?

I bought a copy of "Endless Summer" on 8-track today...

If you paint an outside wall, I wonder how much it would fade from the sun. Maybe a wall facing North

Might be simpler to put a built type IV motor in it than a flat 6

Now, for the important part, how does the dog like it?

My brother almost certainly has 8 track tapes. He has a couple of those white ball shaped tape players,that oddly enough I think were in the same movie your Durango 95 was in

Now you have a street car with no doors, van with one door, a fire truck and a couple race cars. Better get to work on that wall

Red paint (and orange) will fade a lot if the wall gets sun, but blues and greens won't fade too badly.

Coopie hasn't seen it yet. We blew up the started on it trying to get it started with a broken ignition switch. So it needs a new starter, a new switch and a new battery. We shoved it into the back garage for now - as we have the Perana, the BMW 540i, and the DeLorean on the front burner for the moment. When the Perana is back together, we'll have a spot in my garage at home...

^^^^ Needs two more mini Coopies in the back and a Three Dog Night tape !

With that steering wheel, he needs The Carpenters

This is why I didn’t even bother guessing….

I spent an unhealthy amount of time trying to figure this out. Would never have gotten there, this was not in my mental inventory. I probably ran across it in a magazine when I was a kid, or maybe saw one at a Rod & Custom car show but any memory of it is long gone.

Voting for a Blood Sweat & Tears 8-track, the only one my school van driver owned when I was a kid.

I think I maybe had a Hot Wheels car that looked like this thing as a kid. No idea what it was/is.

Exactly. I'm very surprised anyone did guess something like that thing. What's more at anything more than 40HP it would be very scary.

After going through this thread, cookies must have put this in my FBMP opening page.

Very cool Wayne!

Front is very similar to the 1968 hotwheels Deora

Those chrome Keystone wheels on the red one with the surfboards look great. But the slotted Astros are iconic, too.

The guy we got our Frenchie from had one sitting in his driveway.

I was thinking he needs a Deora next!

Is there a Hot Wheels version of a 962 or a 959, damn it, there are

I hate that AI voice, but it's cool to see the BB. That line about VW refusing to sell Brubaker bare chassis sounds like BS. (Like so much of AI on YouTube) It seems to me that when this car was first introduced, there were plenty of VW's that would be ideal candidates as donor cars, and there would have been no problem making and selling as many as the market would bear.
