The 1970 Celica GT will be returning to Hot Wheels' mainline in 2014 in a sweet vintage racing deco

I was never a fan of the excessive decos Hot Wheels puts on some of these cars, but this one is just perfect in its simplicity. Aside from the black hood and numbering, the car will feature the logos from Hot Wheels, Japanese Nostalgic Car magazine and the Japanese Classic Car Show.

Also, the 2014 batch C is starting to hit the US and some eBay vendors already have some of the most wanted models in stock. IMO, the Alfa Romeo 8C, due for release since 2009 but delayed thanks to licensing issues, is the highlight here:

I'm not sure about the release, but I have one of these sitting on my desk right now!. It's a yellow 1970 Celica GT with black windows, front air dam, hot wheels logo behind the rear fender, Celica logo just before the rear fender, and two stripes down the side with GT just after. I love it. It's easily my favorite Hot Wheels car (because of it's simplicity) and one of my favorite cars altogether.

That's the same one I "got for my daughter" but mines yellow. And yes, my daughter loves cars! She's got a bunch (mostly my old ones as well as some new ones) but I had to steal this one.

The yellow version is the second colorway of the First Edition. A car's first edition is exactly that, the model's debut on the mainline, so they usually come with simple, more realistic decos. For example:

2010 First Editions

2012 All Stars Series
