Where would you find those Burgundy IROC's? Is it order only or could you find them in a Walmart or something?
The card sure is slick!

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Anyone yet take these apart and customize them a bit?
Nothing fancy, painted the interior black as well as the whole inside. Also took a sharpie to the taillight a and threw a coat of turtle wax black wax on it for the hell of it

Not bad! Some textured rustolem I had lying around. It's hard enough to see inside as it is, so as long as it looked black I was happy. And even happier I got rid of the red louvers

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Those black IROCs with the windshield banner are hard to find. I had been looking around on Ebay and in the area and no luck til the other day when I snatched one up off of Ebay... I have a few of the red and black ones I bought from Walmart. I was glad to see Hotwheels finally produce them.. like them much better than the older ones with the side pipes on them.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Went to Walmart to pick up some wiper blades and stopped to look at a silly looking Hot Wheels (Oldsmobile 442 with 30" wheels) and went to put it back on the rack and lo and behold there was a Red IROC with a slightly damaged card that had been sitting behind the 442. The bottom left of the card had been picked at, but I didn't care because the car was fine.
On a side note, the silver on my black IROC's wheels has come off pretty badly. Any idea on how to "refinish" my wheels? They look pretty bad compared to the shiny new IROC's wheels.

I hear a rumor that the 2013 Iroc Camaros would be in the 9 packs found at Walmart. Then I found this on ebay.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
That looks like a custom painted camaro. I say that because on the tail light, that is painted yellow (where it should of been red, unless they got lazy?)
Now they should make some white and blue ones.
Also, not sure if anyone mentioned this (didn't feel like going back pages), but Matchbox DID make an IROC and a Pontiac Trans Am back in the day. The IROC had a opening hood which I found was pretty cool. The Trans Am was black with the bird on the hood. They also had "rim" variations as well on them.

Dang it. Now I have to go look for that burgundy one too. It's great that they're giving the third gen some attention.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
I can't really justify buying a 9 pack for 1 car.
At least you get a nice second gen and Roadrunner in the pack.

Just picked up a couple copos and a c7 that I'm pretty exited about. Also got an 82 firebird in the box at a swap meet

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Looking for the blue ones this afternoon, and found this grey one in WalMart. It's the old mold, the "Blown Camaro", with the stupid side pipes and tiny front wheels. Bottom of the 5-pack says "Muscle Mania 5-Pack", and there is also a red 4th gen Trans Am at the bottom of the pack

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
I found two of the Yellow ones in the 9 packs, I bough the green 2013 Holiday one off ebay and I picked 2 of these up - say Target exclusive but at $17.99 each (on sale), now sure I am going to keep these two or not.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
I found it while I was waiting in like to be checked out actually. They had a row of 3 packs on the bottom shelf below the candy and such and just for kicks I looked and in the very last one all the way in the back was the IROC. I was pleased, as I hadn't gotten any version of this one yet.
