Description[]
Kowloon'd Hypervan is a depiction of a futuristic Hong Kong Public Light Bus. It is powered by an LS1 V8 engine directly lifted from the Custom '67 Pontiac Firebird tooling as a tribute to Brendon Vetuskey fueled by two Nitrox3.5 tanks cast into the base.
The first release features numerous references to Mattel's Hong Kong team out of Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, as displayed on the destination indicator. Names of the Hong Kong design team can be found on the roof. The interior piece of this model forms part of the body.
