It’s today! And it’s also a Hot Wheels I don’t have.......yet.

I’d love to have a picture of it, and it’s predecessor- in- name together. For those that don’t know, behold the original Carrera GT:

The 1964 Carrera GTS has more race pedigree.

Commonly called the 904, but not officially because Citroen claimed trademark over the #0# nomenclature as a whole and killed the 901 name.

I’ve seen the Hot Wheels Carrera GT on store shelves and ... I dunno, it didn’t feel like they captured the essence of the car that well.

Funnily enough, I did pick up a red Hot Wheels 944 that resembles the 924-based GT you have there.

Is it still too early to make a joke about how Paul Walker would really be into this seventeen year-old if he were still with is today?

Oh yeah, the 944 Turbo Hot Wheels is great right?

I just cul led my Hot Wheels collection down. I pulled a Carrera GT or two out of there, if you want them.

Das GASP! You’ve got my interest. What color(s) and plastic or metal base?

Going strictly off memory ... So I could be wrong, I think I had orange and black ... Or maybe yellow. Plastic bases.

I just remembered I took pictures of the loosies. There’s an orange one in here. I think I have a black one that’s still carded, but I haven’t taken pictures of those yet.

That orange one looks sharp! Just like the twin turbo one I built in Fourza.

If you want it, you can have it for the price of shipping it. Last I mailed one, it was $3-4.

I’ll gladly take you up on that offer. Tomorrow, though.

Perhaps with best-sounding car ever.
