Anyone still looking for Hot Wheels F-150?

I found two today at Toys-R-Us. I'm feeling generous enough to send one to whoever wants it; providing you don't have one already.

Also, picked up one of those big remote control Lightnings. Did anyone know they had black out now? Well, they do, and I got one. I bought a silver one last year, didn't like the red. They still have 2 black ones left for $79.99. I'll be willing to do the leg work for anyone wanting one of those. (Generousity does not extend to these )

Hey, I wasn't aware HotWheels had an F150. Is it an L or just an F150? What year is it?

thanks...

I've looked for months at K-Mart, Target, Toy'sRUs and
Wall Mart and they NEVER have them. The other guys
responded first, but if they decline I want it please.

are you talking about the one with the blower coming out of the hood? It has slightly bigger rear wheels than whats in the front? My GF's little brother got one for his B-Day since he likes my truck so much...it the only "Hot Wheels" one I have seen....her dad collects Hot Wheels and could probably find some more if you guys want me to ask him.

I had a fellow redo the Lightning '03 Hot Wheels. Used exact touch-up paint (Dark Shadow Gray Clearcoat) to paint the truck like my '03 Shadow Gray L after doing the body work, etc. Anyway, the thing came out great! Attached are pics but it they do no justice to the job done by this fellow. The paint photographed a tad darker then it actually is and YES, I wanted the exaggerated exhaust left as is (Carricature style). Oh, pics taken with a Canon G3 which I am just learning to use...

No, bed cover was on the original Hot Wheels Lightning. The modeler that did the work for me pulled the blower and filled in the hood where the blower was. He also removed a set of exhaust pipe tips that they had on the driver's side. I wanted just one set of pipes like the real L but wanted them exaggerated. Gave the guy a bottle of FORD Dark Shadow Gray Clearcoat and he used a few drops of that to paint the truck and returned to me the remainder. The pics shown do the redone model no justice.
