You are purchasing a vintage Hot Wheels Redline from their second year collection.

This car is a late USA casting 1969 Lola GT70 in Spectraflame Purple (with the stop peg) with original yellow "10" tampos, an uncommon and desirable colour combination.  Car has the black interior. Paint has some blemishes and chips, but overall this car is in fantastic shape for its age and is in original played with, unrestored condition.  One of the hood hinges is a little loose.

Comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home.

Some background on the car and casting can be found below.

"The Lola GT70 was based the Lola T70 Mk3b coupe, one of the legendary series of V-8 powered Lola T70 race cars that dominated much of Grand Prix and CanAm racing in the 1960s. Created by Eric Broadley, the mid-engine T70 was designed to accept any of the then-current American V-8 powerplants already popular with racing teams. In 1966, John Surtees won the inaugural CanAm Championship, driving an open cockpit spyder version. The list of drivers competing in Lola T70s in 1966-68 was impressive: Parnelli Jones, Mario Andretti, Jackie Stewart, Denny Hulme, and Graham Hill, among others. In 1969, Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons drove a Roger Penske-prepared T70 M3b coupe to victory in the Daytona 24 Hours race.

Mattel's Lola GT70 featured a rear hatch that opened to show a detailed engine. A sticker sheet with racing stripes and #10 racing numbers was included in the blister pack. Unlike the white stickers supplied with other Grand Prix cars, the Lola stickers were yellow.  The Lola GT70 was produced in various Spectraflame colors, as well as in British Racing green enamel.  Lolas were made at both the US and HK plants. Earlier runs of US Lolas had a transmission immediately behind the engine. In later models, the transmission was replaced by a peg that prevented the rear hatch from opening too far.

US cars featured a clear windshield and a black interior. Like all 1969 Grand Prix cars, the Lola can be found in most of the first generation colors."
