How to Identify This Release

Purple interior and tinted windshield; the black hood and yellow/purple Dodge Sidewinder, Ram and Hot Wheels logos distinguish the set release.

Use the release name, year and toy or collector number together. The base, wheel pattern, body finish and tampo are useful cross-checks when the car is loose. A package can confirm its series or assortment.

Physical Details

The Dodge Sidewinder is a 68 mm Hot Wheels concept pickup. Its metal body and plastic base, interior, bed cover and windshield are documented for the original casting. This release uses 5SP wheels and a light-blue plastic.

Do not infer an undocumented interior, window tint or country of manufacture from a related color version. Check the exact car and its markings.

Packaging and Condition

Twistin’ Truck Trials set. Record the car’s paint, tampo, wheel wear, base condition and window marks separately from card or blister condition. The package helps confirm the original series; the loose casting shows its physical details.
