I fibbed a little, the actual toy version I have, still debating to order a black body for it:
I had quite a few M.A.S.K. vehicles growing up (I was more a Transformers/G.I. Joe guy). The Buzzard was one of the last ones they did. Coincided with the toned down 2nd season of the cartoon show IIRC.

Not sure what the above post says.
It is about trying to post a jpeg then the wonderland of impossible googbledy gook.
The GENERAL LEE although at my age it would have to have working doors.
Our generation was kind of the last hurrah for good vehicle-based transforming toys. Shortly after I lost interest in such things, Transformers decided Optimus Prime was no longer a semi, but instead was some sort of gorilla. I suspect even 7-year-old me would have found that too stupid to play with.
I’ll take Captain Scarlet’s SPV (Security Pursuit Vehicle) with the rocket launcher. Just the thing for driving on the Schuylkill Expressway.

Not car related, but in 1976 my girlfriend (soon wife) went shopping at the mall in OK City before Xmas. She came home with a gift wrapped present for my birthday. Apparently some guy in a kiosk was hand making glass items and she described a chopper motorcycle I had owned earlier. An hour later she picked the bike up. It’s about 8 inches long and extremely delicate. He even added the clutch/brake handles to it which would snap if breathed on. It’s managed to survive for 45 years without damage.
It’s kind of a reverse situation since the “toy” followed the real motorcycle…
As for a real working car; a Bugatti Chiron, Veyron, or Divo. Not picky; just want to be the fastest dog on the block.
