Casting #: 6274
Beach Bomb
Designer: Howard Rees
Production Run: 1969-1971
Note: Produced only in Hong Kong. One of the ultimate Hot Wheels castings, the Beach Bomb is one of the most highly-sought models out there. Even poor examples fetch top dollar prices. As most know, the side-loading Bomb is the standard, but some prototype rear-loaders slipped out into the world and command amazing prices.
