Vintage Hotwheels
Hot Wheels Mantis diecast car, specifically a vintage Redline model from 1969.
Design and Features: The Mantis was designed by Ira Gilford for Hot Wheels and first released in 1970. It features an opening canopy and an exposed rear-mounted engine with exhaust pipes.
Variations and Re-releases: In 1973, the name was changed to "Double Vision," and the exposed engine was replaced with solid louvers. Later re-releases in the 1980s and beyond were named "Speed Seeker" and "Speed Machine," with newer versions having a non-opening canopy.
Collectibility: Vintage Hot Wheels Mantis models, particularly the 1969 Redline versions, are considered highly collectible by enthusiasts. They were produced in various Spectraflame colors, including green, aqua, copper, gold, magenta, and more.
