The Turbofire is one of four Hot Wheels original designs from 1969. The rear hatch opens to expose a turbine motor. As with all moving parts the hinges are fragile and are susceptible to breaking, causing the hatch to fall off and become lost. Turbofires have a red painted tail light. All Turbofires are made in the USA and no casting variations have been found (other than the size of the (R) on the base which can be either small or large, this does not affect the value). All Turbofires have clear glass and most have white interiors. Black interiors have been found on very few red cars. Most Turbofires have 'bearing' wheels but some have been found with 'capped' wheels (this also does not affect the value). The Turbofire was reproduced by the Muky toy company for the Argentinian market.
