Discussion:

The Jack Rabbit Special release coincided with an animated TV show and a line of comic books, both of which were short lived ventures for Mattel.
The HK version tends to be less common than the US version. Neither interior color is hard to find.



Opening rear engine cover

The rear engine Jack Rabbit Special featured an opening rear cover and red painted tail lights.
The blue stripe was a sticker on the US version but was a tampo on the HK version.
