[net.games.trivia] How Wheels Cars

Boy does this strike a nostalgic chord.....I don't know what hot wheels
cars there are now, but does anyone remember one called the 'Silver Special'
or something like this?  You had to send away for it as part of a club or
something like that.  I remember  I ended up with two of them somehow...
Also they seemed to run the best of any of them I had ever seen......The
wheels seemed to run much smoother than any other ones..........

I think the Silver Special was a FORD Mustang Boss 302.  As I recall, it was
fast, but not the fastest car we had (> 100 Hot Wheels Cars!).
