Pantera Modelli
Mattel recently added the Pantera to their HotWheels 1:18 scale collectibles. The car is a reproduction of Gary Hall's "Big Red" Group 4 Pantera. Rather than doing the car in red like Hall's, Mattel decided that the first run of cars would be available only in yellow. Other colors might be available later. The car has molded in Group 4 wheel flares and the usual Hall mods, front hood, spoiler, etc.
The model can be found at toys R Us, Wal Mart, K Mart, Target, etc. for under $20. Most of the stores sold their stock immediately, so they are difficult to find. Hall Pantera is producing a limited run of custom models.
