1970 Hot Wheels Carabo Spectraflame Magenta — Casting Info · Complete Collector’s Guide
1970 Hot Wheels Carabo in Spectraflame Magenta. The shared casting number is 6420.
1970 Magenta release overview
The Magenta car is one of the 1970 Spectraflame releases. Magenta examples are recorded from both United States and Hong Kong production. Hong Kong examples can be identified by blue-tinted glass and brown or white interiors.
The real Alfa Romeo Carabo was a concept with distinctive wedge-shaped bodywork. Hot Wheels captures the low profile with opening doors, black rear louvers and an orange stripe across the nose. Check the doors and large windscreen carefully on a loose example; both are vulnerable to damage.
