Highway 61 / 1967 Plymouth GTX Hardtop/"The Silver Bullet" Limited Edition 3,000 /1:18th scale

Silver

THE MEANEST, BADDEST, STREET RACER TO EVER HIT THE PAVEMENT!

On the surface, the "Silver Bullitt" was pretty much what it appeared to be-a much modified Plymouth Belvedere GTX hardtop that was owned and driven by Jimmy Addison, a quite, matter-of-fact mechanic who worked on Woodward Ave in the Detroit suburb of Birmingham. The fact that he had access to all sorts of exotic racing parts was also plausible because his boss, Ted Spehar, was in the business of building racing engines at his station. The truth was , Addison & Spehar were agents of a high-performance hardware and tech think tank in Chrysler Corporation's factory racing department in Highland Park, Michigan. They concluded that winning on the racetrack wasn't enough. What the situation called for were stock looking cars, in the hands of seemingly everyday customers, that were faster on the street than anyone else's. Of course the other carmakers reached the same conclusion and the result was a profusion of factory-backed, street legal GTOs, Mustangs, and Chevelles that on any night could be found cruising the streets of the Detroit suburbs, looking for action. The "Silver Bullitt" was Chryslers idea to counter with a street machine so powerful, so fast, that nothing could touch it! This Highway 61 replica takes you back to the cruisin days of the late '60's when horsepower ruled.

This precision diecast features include opening hood with correct hinges , doors that snap closed on realistic hinges, fully-detailed engine and interior, steerable wheels. Most Highway 61 replicas feature other surprises like working suspension, opening glove box or console doors, movable sun-visors, and a turning drive shaft and rear wheels.
