Intact sets of the re-release of that first grouping in 2018 are now soaring in value, with a display set on eBay for $7500. “We’ve always been about pushing design forward.” The original release included the Beatnik Bandit, the original Deora Concept, the Ford J-Car, Hot Heap and Silhouette. “We were born from California custom car culture,” he said. Wu led a tour through Hot Wheels history. We’re simply an automotive brand, appealing to whoever likes cars-we would never ‘pink wash’ just to get more female buyers.” Hot Wheels has built Barbie cars, though. But according to Ted Wu, vice president and global head of design for vehicles at Mattel, “We welcome both males and females. Mattel dodged a question about the percentage of the toys sold to females, claiming not to have the breakdown.

As one of the pioneers of the pro-touring truck movement, Rob and Brandy continued to race their trucks at several pro-touring events including NMCA, SCCA, the Optima Series and the Goodguys Autocross Series. The popularity and success of the C10R grew the PCHRODS name into one of the most recognized pro-touring truck build shops across the country. This truck would not only revolutionize the pro-touring truck industry, but also the growth of their shop.
The company would launch their return to the automotive industry with the unveiling of their first build, the PCHRODS C10R, in the Spectre Performance Booth at SEMA 2013.
In 2013, Rob and Brandy settled down to start a family in addition to announcing the return of their Pro-Touring Performance Build Shop, better known as PCHRODS, INC. While she raced the Spectre Performance 1970 Carbon Camaro, he took to the wheel of his 1969 C10. In 2010, Rob and Brandy met at a Goodguys autocross event. The program continued throughout 2012 while Brandy raced several vehicles including a 1970 Mach 1 Mustang, a 1971 Camaro and the well-known 1970 Carbon Camaro. The program expanded in the Spring of 2009 as Brandy got behind the wheel of Spectre’s 1970 El Camino and hit the Goodguys Autocross in Nashville, Tennessee. Brandy embarked on a new marketing program with the company, traveling across the country attending car shows to educate customers on new and current products.
Graduating with a degree in Psychology and Social Behavior, Brandy Morrow Phillips started her career in the Automotive Aftermarket Industry with Spectre Performance in 2008. This did not stop him from completing several builds that were showcased at SEMA from 2007-2010, including a 1970 El Camino, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Coupe and his own 1969 C10. The high costs of living and build shops located on every corner made it hard for Phillips to expand his shop. Once Overhaulin’ ended (before it was brought back), Phillips decided to use his experience under Chip Foose and open his own shop in Long Beach, California. Rob was given the title of Project Manager for the 2005 through 2007 seasons. Little did he know at the time, but this was just the beginning of his future with the show. In 2005, Rob Phillips was brought onto the set of Overhaulin’ to complete a single wiring job.
