Description

The prototype vehicle never made into production but the 1974 Hot Wheels did. Released in Enamel Red with a bright stars & stripes tampo. This cast ran all the way to 1977 but the early version were only avaliable for a very short time. The Chrome plastic base version has not been found in Blister as of yet.

Another interesting note on early '74's is they can be found with a white undercoat, under the main enamel paint.

The Mercedes-Benz C-111 with white C-111 on rear deck with white sides. It would seem to be a production piece, In the fact I have seen most in played with condition. This is the same for the other two early runs grey and white Int. This is just a observation not fact.
