The Matchbox Turbo Fury was first released in the 1973 Rola-Matics series and was produced in about 4 different variations.
A reworking of the Blue Shark casting, the rear of the car has been modified to house twin jet engines and now includes a pair of fans that spin with the rolling action of the car.
This red example, which is missing a label (it might have been 69, 86, or a scorpion), is the second of two cars I picked up at the Toy Shack in Las Vegas.
Other Matchbox Rolamatics models in my collection include the Mustang Piston Popper that I still have from my childhood, the Range Rover with Police Patrol livery, the Range Rover with Sheriff livery, the metallic green Weasel Armored Vehicle, the olive green variation of the Weasel, the Badger Exploration Truck, the Stoat Armored Car, the Maxi Taxi and the Fandango.
