The Beatnik Bandit is a show car built by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. It was then duplicated in 1:64th scale by designer Harry Bradley to be included as part of the Original 16castings in the 1968 Hot Wheels line.
The original tool was only used from 1968-1971 and then was retired. The car was retooled in 1993 as part of Hot Wheels' 25th Anniversary. It was used twice in 1994, as part of the Vintage Series and the FAO Gold Series I. The tool then sat, unused until 2003, when it was dusted off again for the Hall of Fame Series when Hot Wheels honored Ed Roth, himself. It hasn't been used since.
