Ford Model A Matchbox 1979 Superfast 1:48 Hot Rod Loose Black

This striking Matchbox diecast model from the Superfast series depicts a Ford Model A converted into a classic hot rod. The model has a compact, low-slung metal body with plastic elements. The predominantly black bodywork is complemented by silver sides featuring decorative yellow and red flames. Its distinctive appearance is emphasised by the wide tyres and simplified, sporty shape typical of custom hot rods. With a length of approximately 80 mm, it corresponds to scale 1:48. The model is offered loose, in a collector condition described as Loose, so it may show signs of storage or use, such as minor scuffs, tampo print loss or light scratches. Production is attributed to Macau, and the model year is given as 1979.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
