Description[]
The Altered State is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Mike Nuttall, which was the #6 First Edition in the 2002 Mainline. It was also featured in the 2004 Treasure Hunts line up. It depicts an altered dragster-type vehicle.
The casting has been used to replicate Hot Wheels historian Mike Zarnock's Altered Roadster in 2009; the actual car was built from a 1923 Ford Model T.
