I missed my opportunity to look for any of the chase vehicles from Series 1 of the new Mystery Models, but I happened to find several boxes the other day at my local Walmart that appeared to be full. Like with previous years, the partially-blind bag packaging features a small transparent circle in the lower right corner that allows you to get a peak at the vehicle inside. While the car assortment images aren't printed on the back of the bag, you can see the whole mix featured on the side of the gravity feeder box. Series two features 3 chase vehicles with #01 in the set being a surprise.
Vehicle #02 in the set is a '69 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S. The body of the car is white with blue flames. Both the front and rear bumpers are chromed and features a tan interior with translucent blue tinted windows. The wheels are your standard chrome 5 spokes with the rear wheels being slightly larger than the front.
This one seems popular with many collectors so you may have a harder time finding this one unless you happen to come across a fresh gravity feeder box on the shelves. Mystery Models are exclusive to Walmart stores and retail for about 10 cents more (give or take) versus your regular Hot Wheels vehicle.
I'm not a Matchbox/Hot Wheels collector but this car looks awesome. Would love it in the 1:1 scale.
