Hot Wheels: American Steel - '72 Ford Gran Torino Sport


I believe this new series of Walmart exclusives debuted at the beginning of 2020, but with the current quarantine all sense of time has seemed to disappear! Called American Steel, this collection of 10 vehicles features classic muscle cards from the 60's and 70's. Today we'll take a look at this beautiful 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport which is #06/10 in the collection.




The primary color used here is a metallic blue with yellow racing stripes down the side and hood/roof area. The wheels are a shiny bronze chrome. The interior plastic is cast in shiny plastic. Both the windshield and rear window are clear. The doors do not have windows. The mold has a copyright year of 2010 "T9672".



Personally I'm more of a Chevy guy, but I've got to admit that this car is beautiful, even more in hand. This series has some really nice cars, shame I didn't pick up more of them while they were still on the pegs.

  1. Never been a huge fan of this particular car, but I loved the movie.
