Hot Wheels Greased Gremlin from 2012 5-Pack Demolition Derby (W4255)

I originally got this 5-pack as I wanted the Back Slider, but have come to love the Greased Gremlin. It is a re-tool of a 1979 model. Even though I've lived in Indianapolis my whole life, I've never been to the Indy 500; I have been to a demolition derby, though, and I have fond memories of it. Also, I like cars produced by AMC in the seventies, including the Javelin, the Pacer, and the Gremlin, so this casting is an obvious choice for me in retrospect.

1978 Dodge Li'l Red Express pickup from Hot Wheels 2012 Mainline

Here is the "stock" version of the Li'l Red Express pickup from the 2012 mainline. With nice, clean tampos and factory fresh canyon red paint - this is Hot Wheels at its best. From the card back:
"This cult classic is more than just a little red wagon for grownups! Engineered for speed, it boasts a high-performance 360-V8, breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor. It's a ton of fun too!"
