Hey guy, i know how much you tbird guys love your cars so i just that i would let you know this. I work at target and just noticed tonight that we started to carry the new 2002 tbird model cars that are 1/18 scale. The only one we had in stock was the red one, but im sure other targets are carrying them as well. I think i remember someone saying that they wanted the 1/18 scale model but if not just disregard. Price is decent...and car looks great with moving parts...Front tires swivel with turn of the steering wheel, hood and trunk open, same with driver and passenger door. Hard top comes on it. Anyways just thought i would pass this on.

If you are interested, they are in the toy department in the hot wheels isle.

Gobird,
try Ashville Diecast for the black and white models in 1/18 if you can't find at Target or K B Toys.

As for a 1/18 model of the NM, it was only available thru Ford's catalog. Don't know if they are still available from them.

Is it labeled "Hot Wheels" or "MatchBox"? The name makes a difference. I've only seen "MatchBox" models of the 2000 show car. Hot Wheels and Matchbox are products of Mattel and are marketed separately. The latest Motor Trend magazine (August 2002 ) pictures the Matchbox model as a hardtop in red on page 108 and it comes in the yellow topless version, too. Have not seen any concepts or 2002s marketed yet in the Hot Wheels line.

It's still in the latest Ford catalog as is a gorgeous black Forty Nine model which I have. Hope we decide to build it!

Dot-

The one I saw was labeled Hot Wheels, and the title on the little stand said 2000 Thunderbird Show Car.

Maybe a mistake?

It could be brand new., then. do you remeber if it was 1/43 or 1/64?
