Description[]
The Redliner is a Hot Wheels Original Model designed to look like the AMC AMX/2 concept model. Paul Tam designed the original model. The diecast model has opening plastic engine covers on the back. This AMX/2 debuted in the 1971 Hot Wheels series. In 1973, this model was re-released as the Xploder, still with the opening engine covers. In 1975, the AMX/2 was renamed to Warpath for only a couple of releases. In 1985, the AMX/2 was modified: the opening engine covers were gone and were replaced by an engine cover with louvers.
