65' VW Fastback..

This is another casting which I liked.. 

** Info from Hot Wheels Wikia, "The '65 Volkswagen Fastback is a Hot Wheels casting based on the production car of the same name, debuting in the 2008 New Models. The real name from the original car is Volkswagen Type 3 and was produced from 1963 til 1973." Design by Phil Riehlman

First saw the casting early this year at Amcorp mall.. Immediately fall in love with it. But what I bought was a loose piece with a dissoriented front wheel. During that time, I was already doing some wheel swapping.

On first attempt, put some chrome 5spoke muscle wheels..

 

Later, another forum customizer, Elgee, decided to do some detailing of the interior.. Superb results. I never knew it would turn out perfectly.. 

Interior : Seats, fire extinguisher, NOS detailed.

Love the engine detailing.

Decided to change to black 5 spoke wheels.

Latest acquisition, was the Phil's Garage VW Fastback. This is the 3rd color among the series following the Black, then Orange and now Blue.

Got this a few months back, only ripped from blister a few days ago..

Missing is the Fastback Mail-in. Still in carded due to its a rare item and very expensive.

Even the Mail-in Fastback was a gift from Sinclair, still haven't got the guts to ripped it yet.. :)

Salute!..

So far, this is the completed Fastback casting series. Hopefully the VW Fastback from the Japan Convention would be released soon..

Enjoy the pics..

Cheers..
