Torero Casting Reference | Loose Hot Wheels
Torero
The Torero was a car from the 1969 Hot Wheels series, and sold until 1971. On this vehicle, the hood opens to display a hemi engine. It also has a red-painted taillight section, except for the Spectraflame Red and Spectraflame Orange cars. The interiors were either cream colored, white or the much rarer brown ones. They were packaged with a Hong Kong or U.S.A. metal 'Collector's Button'. Just like Deora and other early Hot Wheel castings of the time, the Torero is based on the 1968 Dodge Charger III concept car
