Hot Wheels Wiki says - This casting is based on a 1988 Ford Thunderbird Pro Street built by Matt and Debbie Hay. The car was built in 1988 and won numerous awards; they sold the car in 1991 but repurchased it in 2013 and towed it over 2000 miles to their home for restoration, with significant repairs required to get the car functioning again. It features a 5.0L Windsor V8 with twin B&M superchargers, aluminum radiators, Alston aluminum wheel hubs, floorboards and transmission tunnel, Deist drogue chutes and a Squeeg's Customs livery.

This casting is often given the name of Matt and Debbie Hay's 1988 Pro Street Thunderbird.

The 2023 and 2025 versions of the casting feature a pulse stripe tampo design, which is based on the 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, another pro street car by Hays that won at the 1986 Street Machine Nationals.

The Chevrolet Corvette is a two-door, two-seat sports car produced by General Motors for their Chevrolet division since 1953. The 1962 Corvette was the last year of the first generation of the Corvette; it was the quickest of the first generation Corvettes with new engine choices, and was also the last Corvette with exposed headlights until 2005.

This casting depicts a gasser version of a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette. This casting is based on the '62 Corvette casting originally designed by Larry Wood in 2009, and has "Schmid's Chevrolet" on the side, a nod to HW track & play sets designer Paul Schmid, who loves Corvettes.

Hot Wired is a futuristic electric dragster.

From 2008 to 2012, regular castings featured a plastic base with a flip-out, anti-wheelie bar that locks open or closed with a small plastic tab. In 2013, the casting changed so that the anti-wheelie bar is shorter, molded into the base and does not move. However, all Color Shifters versions from 2008 to present have a metal base and the wheelie bar molded into the base as if it were folded. Versions with the shorter wheelie bar are not compatible with kicker loops as the wheelie bar can get stuck on the kicker.
