The year 1971 was a big one for the Hot Wheels brand, with more than 35 vehicles making their debut, among them the futuristic Pit Crew Car. In a poll at HWC, showed that collectors stated that the Pit Crew Car was one casting they'd love to see retooled so RLC went back to the future…
The HWC Series Eight Neo-Classics Pit Crew Car is the long-awaited return of a casting that’s only been used once! The original Pit Crew Car debuted in 1971, and was designed by Larry Wood and Howard Rees as something of a companion piece to the Heavyweights Team Trailer and Heavyweights Racer Rig of the same year (both with cabs designed by Ira Gilford and trailers designed by Larry). Featuring a deco that mimics the original release on a totally modern Spectraflame chrome-plated finish, Neo-Classics Redlines wheels, and an opening rear with tool bed, this new classic is bound to be beloved by collectors of any era.
