Hot Wheels '65 Mercury Comet Cyclone | Official 56th Anniversary Series 1:64 Scale Metalflake Teal & Copper-Chrome Vintage Gasser Muscle Drag Car

Celebrate over five decades of diecast dominance with the official themed assortment release of the Hot Wheels '65 Mercury Comet Cyclone. Dropping onto the pegs as part of the highly collectible 56th Anniversary "Teal & Chrome" Series (Car 4/6), this 1:64 scale licensed model beautifully merges historical American drag strip horsepower with a premium, limited-run anniversary aesthetic.

Masterfully sculpted by legendary Mattel designer Brendon Vetuskey, this casting captures the iconic vintage "Gasser" drag layout. It honors mid-60s track competition with its distinct nose-up, high-riding front axle suspension stance—engineered to violently throw weight to the back wheels for maximum launching traction. The model features a stripped, race-prepped engine bay hosting an enormous, beautifully molded V8 engine block topped with a massive 4-butterfly mechanical fuel injector hat bursting high above the hood line.

For this anniversary milestone, the Cyclone wears a spectacular Metalflake Teal Blue base coat decorated with a brilliant copper-chrome base plate that forms the front and rear bumpers. The side panels are stamped with sharp, premium anniversary graphics highlighting the celebratory number "56", classic yellow and black racing accent stripes, and the iconic Hot Wheels insignia.

Whether you are completing your official 56th Anniversary 6-car collection grid, expanding a high-end JDM/Muscle display garage, or adding a stunning piece of diecast history to your desk layout, this special edition teal dragster stands out immediately.

Why Collectors Love It 
The 56th Anniversary series is highly celebrated by hobbyists because it is bypassed by standard big-box retail stores and distributed in limited numbers, making individual peg finds highly competitive. Built with Hot Wheels' signature durable die-cast metal body framework, it captures true drag-strip authenticity by rolling on mismatched performance wheels—featuring low-profile Chrome 5-Spoke (5SP) steering wheels up front and extra-thick SK5SP drag slick tires in the back. It’s an elite commemorative piece that injects massive style into any collector showcase.
