Hot Wheels 2007 Mustang and 1970 Camaro

Here's a quick look at these 2014 recolors that really stand out in their latest colors, the (custom) 2007 Ford Mustang and 1970 Camaro (formerly Camaro Road Racer).



The 2007 Mustang was first released in the 2008 Modern Classics line in chrome.  It was larger than the 2005 casting and even with a custom look, still had a clean stock look to it!  Highlights include a billet grille with foglights in the lower grille, side exhaust concealed behind the bodywork, closed-off quarter windows, Saleen-style rear spoiler and lower diffuser.  The interior is pretty much stock Mustang.  It was released in the regular line in 2013 in Green and I was lucky enough to find a Super Treasure Hunt later on in a darker metallic green with hood graphics and 5-spoke mags with rubber tires.  Once again the 2007 Mustang is a Super TH for 2014, though I haven't found one yet.  Still the metallic red regular version is delicious, the graphics simple, and the tan interior along with the red is something you'd expect to find in a luxury car!



Meanwhile the 1970 Camaro gets a retool for 2014.  Originally called the Camaro Road Racer introduced in 2011, the revisions include a metal grille from the former separate clear unit (good since I've seen some tooling defects in the past on a few around the grille), a shorter front spoiler, and the roll cage is removed, but the one-seat race car interior remains, as does the side exhaust and roof window anchor's.  The green looks great on this casting, and here's the reason why I love this casting: Look at the detailing on the body.  It's accurate, the headlight and taillights are 3-D realistic, and it just looks downright cool!  Heck, you can't even tell if this is a stock Z-28 or a race car!

Two examples of why it was worth picking up these from the store!
