Description[]
The '69 Brawner Hawk is a Hot Wheels casting which debuted in the 2004 Auto Affinity: Rebel Rods Series. It is based on the real-life Ford powered Brawner Hawk III.
The Brawner Hawk was the culmination of years of mechanic work on front-engine Indy cars by Clint Brawner. Several variations of the car raced competed between 1965 and 1969. During those years, it gave a start to Mario Andretti's legendary racing career by scoring the Rookie of the Year and the USAC Championship in his and the car's first year. He also scored a win at the 1969 Indianapolis 500.
The Hot Wheels version was only ever released twice. Its first release was a replica of the 1969 Indy 500 winning '2' car and the second release was not based on any real-life scheme.
