HOT WHEELS IROC VERT- EXCLUSIVE!!!

Ok so I couldn't wait any longer for Hot Wheels to come out with an IROC convertible so I decided to build my own. Used a small hand saw and some super glue. I think it looks sick! It now belongs to my son and from the pics you can see it's a little banged up. What do you guys think?

Very cool, but hope you have a few more. Seems thoes are not in the stores anymore and they are going up in price online. I got a black on at the local Walmart this past fall and have not seen one ever again in the stores.

You didn't stock up? I'm almost embarrassed to say that I have about 20 of the black ones. My wife swears I'm gonna have my 15 minutes of fame...as a star on the show "Hoarders".

I saw another version of last years 73 Firebird, this years version is blue in color. Last year was red and green. So hopefully we will see more variants of the '85 IROC soon.

Re: HOT WHEELS IROC VERT- EXCLUSIVE!!!

I bought one too but I gave it to my kid. I enjoy seeing him play with it more than me hoarding it. Although, if I had a 2nd...

They were everywhere about this time last year. More recently, I have found them in less-conventional locations like Dollar Tree. I even found a few at Big Lots discount store.
