Looking better than new, I'm sure. 🤓👍

This is interesting on a couple of levels 🕵️. #1. I've never seen this model before and never knew of it 🤯. #2. I didn't know they had a problem with the metal alloy that made them crumble 😯. I love that color that you choose. This one must have gotten by me in 71/72. I've never seen it till now. The yellow 🟡 Hot Wheels car with the brown 🟤 top and red 🔴 flames sitting on your workbench, I remember that one. It was released around the same time, maybe a year or two later. My younger brother had that one.

Wasn’t there a Bye Focal reissue that didnt have the crumbler problem?

[@pauly7218]

Yes. It was a differant name - The Showoff, and it didn't have a hood....
