Product Description
- The Ford Transit is a commercial van designed and developed by Ford's European subsidiary. It was released in 1953 and is currently in production in its eighth generation, which debuted in 2014.
- The motif that Hot Wheels chose is based on the second-generation Transit, which was produced from 1965 to 1978, and is a so-called "hot rod version" produced by Ford of the UK for the promotion of the car.
- The car caused quite a stir when it was demonstrated at the Easter Meeting held at Brands Hatch in the UK in 1971.
- Although it was equipped with over fenders and thick tires, its tall van form was just like a Transit.
- However, what is surprising is what's inside it: it uses the engine and chassis from the Ford GT40 racing car, famous for winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and is said to have a top speed of 270 km/h.
- This time, instead of using a real vehicle, the car is finished in a custom paint job in the style that was popular in America in the 1970s.
