Comments:
This is one of Larry's favorite models. He even put his phone number on it which resulted in a flood of phone calls from all over!
That resulted in the later produced models having the phone number blacked out.
No Phone Number and Reinforced Spotlights
There is a variation on the blue plastic bed piece. The spotlights above the cab can be found with or without reinforcement behind the lights.
N2019 Dinner Car Version
The Ramblin' Wrecker transitioned into the Blackwall era with many variations and was reproduced by the Redline Club in 2010.
The RLC version was even used as a "Dinner Car" for Larry at the 2019 Hot Wheels Convention in Los Angeles, California.
