What the HWC website has to say about this piece:

The 1:43 scale American Classics™ cars were based on the original “Gran Toros” line. True to the spirit of the originals, the 1971 Plymouth GTX features full-metal chassis and great detail work. And, in grand HWC™ tradition, the GTX is decked out in Spectraflame™ antifreeze and two-piece Real Rider™ wheels! Even the presentation is grand - note the platform-style packaging fashioned after that of the original Gran Toros. Makes a great display case!

Not too rare at 5000 pieces but I don’t think this will be DLM’d unless I manage to track down another ‘un. Interesting trapezoid case, makes this a unique piece in the collection. Thanks for looking!
