I recently saw a UT 355 GTB Black with red interior--Anyone ever seen one???? He claims it is stiock from UT and never been painted like that....
I wonder if its a UT/Hotwheels cross over? There have been times when Hot wheels buys out a line of diecast and they have both company names on it. This has happened in the past. Corgi for example, they have Corgi Ferrari transporters with Hot Wheels logo on the base of the car and Corgi on the card backing. I think I remember seeing a Hot Wheels F355 with red interior and since its the same casting, I wonder if they just used up the extra parts. Was there any pics of it you could post?
Not sure how soon I can find out, but I have a friend who has a 1:18 shop a few miles from here. If I can I will run down there this weekend and show him that pic. He will know if its real or not. If its not MIB can you get a pic or see if the bottom of it says UT?
I have a question, are the yellow versions of the F355 UT and Hot Wheels the exact same yellow, or is there a little bit of a difference?
The UT cars are more of a Fly Yellow color, the HW are more of a Giallo Modena Yellow.. So yes there is a bit of a difference in the 2 car colors..
Thanks for the heads up, I found this yellow UT on ebay and its a bit damaged. I was going to buy it and fix the damaged area on the hood then just buy a yellow HW's to replace the engine cover. Maybe some one else can use it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330225496728&fromMakeTrack=true
I saw that one also--The HW panels will not match the paint color--Are you looking for a UT 355 GTB or just figured you could mess around with that one....By the time you buy that one and a HW one--you could buy a UT in like new condition--I know where one is..
I thought the same thing, it would cost about $60.00 or more to buy it and repair it with a parts car (if it matched) then thought aww hell, I will just wait tell I find a cheaper one. IF you have a sales list (of Ferrari 1:18's) pm me. I have a lil bit of a diecast budget this week.
