Hot Wheels Custom Mustang (1968)

Based on the 1967 fastback, with a hood that opens on both US and Hong Kong cars, the Custom Mustang is where buyers most need to slow down. Its two famous variations are also its most faked. Hong Kong made the first cars with open hood scoops, which were dropped from later castings. A late US-only run has a louvered, ribbed rear window, and genuine examples have turned up only in orange and a medium blue. Many fake open-scoop and louvered cars circulate, so check closely before paying a variation price. White interiors are generally the more desirable ones, and orange US cars rate as very rare.
