Description

Today we're bringing another Hot Wheels Sweet 16 classic back to life.

This Custom Firebird arrived missing parts, chipped up, and in need of a proper restoration. After carefully polishing the original zinc body, choosing a factory-correct Spectra Flame color, restoring the grille, fitting new wheels, and assembling everything with replacement parts, this early Redline is back on the shelf where it belongs.

Sometimes the simplest restorations are the most satisfying.
