I certainly have some interest in this car, but not near the "$140,000 costs estimate...My interest would be as a unique piece of Mattel history, like theaward for the one millionth car, etc.<br>I also think it looks better in person than these pics so far....but am interested in the same car soon sand bling.<br>Bruce<br>

In my worst Borat impression. In my country...... the collectors...they go crazy for this piece.<br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/RL1969/toyfair1.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/RL1969/toyfair2.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/RL1969/toyfair3.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>This one....not so much.<br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/RL1969/press_release_16449.jpg" alt="image">

I don't think it looks that terrible... and hey, <span style="font-weight: bold;">it's for a good cause</span>, remember. A bit gaudy, but stillkinda cool. Neat that Otto was involved.<br><br>All I can think of is Scott Jones signature block.... the chicks, they won't be fleeing quite as fast if you pulled out that piece of bling, I don'tthink. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif" alt="image"><br>

Under the functional hood, the engine showcases additional micro pave-set <span style="font-weight: bold;">white and black diamonds.</span> The Hot Wheels<span id="bwanpa11">®</span> flame logo found on the underbelly of the car is lined with <span style="font-weight: bold;">white and black diamonds. Red rubies are set as the tail lights, while black diamonds</span> and red enamel create the <span id="bwanpa51">"</span>red line<span id="bwanpa52">"</span> tires. The custom-made case that houses the <span style="font-weight: bold;">jewel-encrusted vehicle also holds 40 individual white diamonds</span>, signifying each year in the legacy of Hot Wheels<span id="bwanpa12">®</span>.</blockquote><blockquote> <br> the chicks, they won't be fleeing quite as fast if you pulled out that piece of bling, I don't think. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif" alt="image"></blockquote><br>Yeah, I don't care if it's gaudy.......diamonds are a girls best friend, and those would be no exception. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_wink1.gif" alt="image"> Even better, they're on a car! <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_biglaugh.gif" alt="image"> Sorry, when things sparkle, I lose all sense......<img src="http://mmb.maverick.to/images/smilies/coco.gif" alt="image"><br><br><br>

Ok, I WILL buy the Red one for sure !! <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_bigsmile.gif"><br><br>BUT, that is NOT the car on the original HWs packaging ... very disappointed it isn't more Charger/Riviera-esque ... front end too "pointy", notsquared off and muscley ... no center line up the middle ...<br><br>Another GREAT idea ... shot all to hell ... courtesy of Mattel ...

It just doesn't look anything like a Custom 68 should and they really drop the ball.. even the red one looks like crap.

Aww...c'mon. The casting itself isn't that terrible. Especially for a latter day HW....<br><br>As far as the bling charity car goes I for one would prefer to see it dunked into a chalice of crunk juice! Bleccch!
