Hot Heap

Hot Heap was one of the cars released in the original 1968 Hot Wheels series.

The Hot Heap was based on the real-life show car "King T", also known as "Tognotti's T".

This circa 1964 modified Model T Roadster was the brainchild of designer Don Tognotti. Originally built with four wheel disc brakes, independent rear suspension, front coil springs, and a fuel injected 283 Chevrolet engine. This extremely popular show car won several First Place trophies in its day. Not the least of which were 1st in the Winternationals the first time entered, 1st in the Oakland Roadster Show, and many other shows in that era.

A popular Hot Wheels model among many collectors, the Hot Heap is one casting that most collectors hope to have reissued in the near future.
