Description[]
The Stagefright is a Hot Wheels models designed by Larry Wood and Bob Rosas. It is a 1/64th replica of Jack Keef's 1849 Concord Stagecoach custom hot rod. Jack Keef, who's from Downey, California, spent more than 7 years on this custom-build. With help from J&J Chassis, Western Wheel and Theodore Robins Ford, he combined an independent rear end, hand-built chassis, 289 Ford engine and a C-4 automatic transmission to produce the wildest wild west machine... the Stagefright.
The die-cast model was introduced in 1978 in the Flying Colors series. Look at that V8 Ford engine in the passenger compartment! The two fuel tanks are mounted on the chassis, as well as the front suspension. Remarkable is that the roof extends to the back panel and the driver's seat and steering wheel. The roof and back panel are textured and the back is held in place with two leather straps. All of the released are Brown with the Mexico-only release colored a darker Brown.
