Hot Wheels 2010 Mustang GT hits eBay

Click above for a hi-res gallery of Hot Wheels' 2010 Mustang
So, this would appear to be a big weekend for die-cast reveals of cars that are debuting at the LA Auto Show later this month. Yesterday, it was Tomica's 2010 Nissan Cube on eBay. Today we get the new 2010 Ford Mustang GT in the form of a Hot Wheels prototype, again on eBay. There in all its 1:64 scale glory is Ford's pony car with its new fascias and substantial power dome hood, but without mirrors. Hey, shipping's only $8.50 from Kuala Lumpur. If you're a hardcore collector, bid away. Us? We'll keep an eye on the store shelves at Target and pick up the final product for a buck. Thanks once again to Galvin for the tip!

Check this '10 ponycar out...side mirror-less look!

If you're being serious, how can you tell that from a die-cast model?
At any rate, I find it odd that these new cars should be revealed by die-case models rather than by traditional spy shots or by official photos.

I know it's a toy but it REALLY looks like they just changed a very very little bit about the car. I think Ford needed to be more daring considering the Camaro. Then again, the new Camaro sounds like it's going to be a fair bit more expensive, so maybe Ford's got a plan we don't know about.

I agree! This doesn't look anything like the 2010 in my opinion! The rear fender flares are not even present as well, there is a paint drip on the top of the windshield! To me, this is either real and a REALLY bad scale of the actual car OR a complete abomination and fake! I'm leaning toward the later!

The hind parts need some work.

That's a pretty crappy Hot Wheels. Plus it does not look like a change from 09. You sure you're not advertising a fake?

I guess that makes Camaro like Mccain supporters: overpriced, late to the party, and surprisingly overweight .

@ hohohohoh (christmas isn't here yet...)
You are probably the stupidest creature to ever roam the earth wild. I'm all for the Camaro, but you have got to respect healthy competition.
I don't know if you're taking drugs, or it's drugs you need to be taking... Whatever it is, FIX IT.
@ Moosetang:
How are people overpriced? And Overweight? The 2 ton Challenger says hi. Once again I refer you to the drugs part of my comment.

I love how everyone can tell what the real thing is going to look like by some little toy.
The changes may not be drastic but I think Ford may have "tightened" up the look of the Mustang (at least that's what I can tell from the test mules running around).
The Challenger has proven to be a complete dog and only truly beats the Mustang in ride quality. The Camaro? Time will tell.

They're joking.
Way to fail at getting the joke.
That One Person 10:29PM (11/02/2008)
Meh. Just having a bad day.
But I know there are some people out there who aren't joking. I think Q-porte's comment was pretty classic.
The Luigiian 1:26AM (11/03/2008)
Yep. I laughed at Q-Porte's little bit there.
