Porsche 914 Safari Hot Wheels 1:64










The Porsche 914 was a mid-engined sports car designed and manufactured by Karmann or Porsche (depending on the model) produced from 1969 to 1976. The initial livery of this casting is based on a 1970 Porsche 914/6 GT formerly owned by Canadian journalist Jacques Duval. The first release of the casting is a tie-in with Luftgekühlt, a car event centered around air-cooled Porsches, particularly those which are significant to Porsche's history. 

From the back of the 2020 card:Lifted and equipped with off-road lights, heavy duty bumper, skid plate, and a full size spare, this 914 is built to handle the toughest conditions.

1985 Ford Mustang Police California Highway Patrol Burago 1:25












The Ford Mustang SSP is a lightweight police car package that was based on the Ford Mustang and produced by Ford between 1982-1993. The car was meant to provide a speedier option for police departments in lieu of other full sized (and heavier) sedans on the market at the time. The SSP abbreviation means Special Service Package, a special Foxbody Mustang trim made exclusively for law enforcement use. One of the taglines used by Ford to help sell this car was This Ford chases Porsches for a living...

The units served a number of uses, and were often customized to suit each law enforcement agency's particular needs. Law enforcement agencies from municipal to government agencies bought nearly 15,000 examples of these units. Many still exist today, either still in some role of law enforcement, from display cars to DARE cars, or in the hands of collectors and racers.
