Description

The Strip Teaser is a custom drag car designed by Larry Wood which debuted in the 1971 Hot Wheels range of vehciles. It features a lift-up rear hatch which shows its interior.

The interior is loosely fit and often susceptible to falling out and going missing, and as a result it has been accurately reproduced. Its enormous blown motor is situated in front of where the driver would sit, and would be used again in 1972 in the Farbs series and in 1974 in the Roger Dodger. It came packaged with a plastic 'collectors button' and a sticker sheet with yellow '7' stickers and an artist's impression of the car.

The Strip Teaser is known to have issues with a metal fatigue called 'Crumbling' where the body or chassis develops cracks and literally crumbles into pieces.

The Strip Teaser was also released in 1973 as a Shell Promo, a giveaway promotional car handed out to customers at Shell service stations. As with other 1973 cars, it lost its Spectraflame paint which was replaced with enamel paint. 

It is also playable in Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing.
