1967 Pontiac GTO Hot Wheels 1:64









From Wikipedia:
 The Pontiac GTO is an automobile that was manufactured by American automaker Pontiac from 1963 to 1974 for the 1964 to 1974 model years, and by GM's subsidiary Holden in Australia for the 2004 to 2006 model years.

The first generation of the GTO is credited as popularizing the muscle car market segment in the 1960s. The Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models.

For the 1964 and 1965 model years, the GTO was an optional package on the intermediate-sized Pontiac LeMans. The 1964 GTO vehicle identification number (VIN) started with 82, while the 1965 GTO VIN started with 237. The GTO became a separate model from 1966 to 1971 (VIN 242...). It became an optional package again for the 1972 and 1973 intermediate LeMans. For 1974, the GTO was an optional trim package on the compact-sized Ventura.

The GTO was selected as the Motor Trend Car of the Year in 1968.

The GTO model was revived from 2004 to 2006 model years as a captive import for Pontiac, a left-hand drive version of the Holden Monaro, itself a coupé variant of the Holden Commodore.

1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-500 Johnny Lightning 1:24













El Ford Shelby es un Automóvil deportivo, Muscle car y Pony car variante del Ford Mustang fabricado por Shelby de 1965 a 1968, y de 1969 a 1970 por Ford. Después de la introducción del Ford Mustang de quinta generación en 2005, la placa de identificación de Shelby fue revivida como un nuevo modelo de alto rendimiento, esta vez diseñado y construido por Ford.

Para 1967, el G.T. 350 cargó el K-Code de alto rendimiento 289 con un aluminio 'COBRA' hilvanado. El G.T. 500 fue agregado a la alineación, equipado con un motor V8 "Ford Cobra Serie FE" de 428 plg3, con dos carburadores de cuatro cañones Holley de 600 CFM, sentado sobre un colector de admisión de aluminio de media altura.

Los planes documentados para introducir un año de producción media convertible se archivaron debido a problemas de suministro, producción y financieros que sucedieron tan pronto como los primeros autos comenzaron a llegar a las instalaciones de Shelby en Los Ángeles en septiembre. En octubre de 1966, Ford tomó el control de la ingeniería y la compra.​ A.O. Smith fue golpeado para reparar el accesorio de fibra de vidrio. y problemas de calidad. Seis meses después, en mayo de 1967, se tomó la decisión de terminar la operación de Shelby, con sede en California. El 18 de agosto de 1967, un pequeño personal, junto con los restantes coches de ingeniería, fue enviado a Ionia. El pequeño personal de la recién formada Shelby Automotive, Inc. tuvo sustancialmente menos participación después de este tiempo.

1967 Volkswagen 1600 Fastback Type 3 Maisto 1:24












The Volkswagen Type 3 is a compact car that was manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen from 1961 to 1973. Introduced at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show, Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA), the Type 3 was marketed as the Volkswagen 1500 and later as the Volkswagen 1600, in three body styles: two-door Notchback, Fastback and Variant, the latter marketed as the 'Squareback' in the United States.

The Type 3 diversified Volkswagen's product range beyond the existing models – the Type 1 Beetle, Type 14 Karmann Ghia, Type 2 (Bus) – while retaining several of the Beetle's key engineering principles, notably the air-cooled rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and all-round torsion bar suspension on the same 2,400 mm (94.5 in) wheelbase. The concept of the Type 3 was to be more of a family car than the Beetle, offering more passenger and luggage space and a larger engine.

1967 Ford Mustang GT Maisto 1:24












The Ford Mustang is a series of American automobiles manufactured by Ford. In continuous production since 1964, the Mustang is currently the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. Currently in its sixth generation, it is the fifth-best selling Ford car nameplate. The namesake of the "pony car" automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines, initially distinguished by "long hood, short deck" proportions.

Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles yearly, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Introduced on April 17, 1964 (16 days after the Plymouth Barracuda), over 400,000 units in its first year; the one-millionth Mustang was sold within two years of its launch. In August 2018, Ford produced the 10-millionth Mustang; matching the first 1965 Mustang, the vehicle was a 2019 Wimbledon White convertible with a V8 engine.

The success of the Mustang launch led to multiple competitors from other American manufacturers, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (1967), AMC Javelin (1968), and Dodge Challenger(1970). The Mustang also had an effect on designs of coupés worldwide, leading to the marketing of the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri in the United States (the latter, by Lincoln-Mercury). The Mercury Cougar was launched in 1967 as a unique-bodied higher-trim alternative to the Mustang; during the 1970s, it was repackaged as a personal luxury car.

For 1965 to 2004, the Mustang shared chassis commonality with other Ford model lines, staying rear-wheel-drive throughout its production. From 1965 to 1973, the Mustang was derived from the 1960 Ford Falcon compact. From 1974 to 1978, the Mustang (denoted Mustang II) was a longer-wheelbase version of the Ford Pinto. From 1979 to 2004, the Mustang shared its Fox platform chassis with 14 other Ford vehicles (becoming the final one to use the Fox architecture). Since 2005, Ford has produced two generations of the Mustang, each using a distinct platform unique to the model line.

Through its production, multiple nameplates have been associated with the Ford Mustang series, including GT, Mach 1, Boss 302/429, Cobra (separate from Shelby Cobra), and Bullitt, along with "5.0" fender badging (denoting 4.9 L OHV or 5.0 L DOHC V8 engines).
