Where my Cars fans at?! Tonight I'm taking a look at the Mattel Cars 3 1:55 scale diecast of Rev Roadages, the Vinyl Toupee sponsored stock car racer (No. 76)! He was released a couple years back as part of the 2018 "Piston Cup Racers" sub-series (available in singles Case A).
Rev is yet another one who's frustratingly hard to spot in the film. You can see him briefly during the beginning racing sequence of Cars 3, but the race cars go in and out of the shots so fast, he's literally a blur! As shown in the screen cap above, I was thankfully able to spot him in the background during a non-racing scene (though only from the side). Rev superseded Crusty Rotor as the Vinyl Toupee racer from the first Cars film, before being replaced by a [currently unnamed] next-gen.
Though this car isn't currently on store shelves at this point, you can find him online through eBay HERE or Amazon (direct link below). However, be warned—it seems as though his price has kind of skyrocketed as of late! I wasn't aware how rare this diecast became.
Anyway, best of luck on the hunt. Be sure to stay tuned for more updates from my Disney·Pixar Cars collection very soon!
