I paid $107.40 for this one(shipped). It's been one of the hardest chased item for me in 2017. I've seen it go as low as $80-something, as high as $150. I was trying to go for the lowest number, but as they released just 2,000 of these, they don't come around a whole lot. I was very happy when a eBay seller accepted my offer for $100 + shipping.
It says the paint was designed by hot rod designer "Coop". I know nothing about nothing, so I couldn't tell you anything about this guy, except I fell in love with the purple '51 he designed. I think purple can be the best color on a car when done right.
Flat black '49 actually looks really cool. Very high quality.
Flame tampo looks tad grainy/rough? I'd still make this purchase all over again though. It's such a sweet design & the chrome looks amazing! :)
Only 2,000 sets. I have few of these Hot Wheels Japan/RLC sets, but this one has spectacular art on the box & the cars are stunning!
Oh boy, lovely set !!
ReplyDeleteCoop made many devilish sexy girls on many album covers !!
More famous in the 90's !
I'm going to have to look this up.
