Matchbox 22c; Pontiac GP Sports Coupe

Another good old Yankee barge with opening doors (most of the time) and a plastic tow hook. The model spanned the introduction of Superfast wheels and is found with both black plastic wheels and Superfast wheels. The regular wheels version is red or orange/red and the Superfast version is normally shades of purple.

The Pontiac GP Sports Coupe, 22c, was added to the range in 1965 as a regular wheels model. The only variation in the regular wheels version is that some are red and some are orangey red, seats are grey and windows are clear. Orange/red is a little more sought after than plain red.

It was updated to Superfast wheels in 1970, being re-coloured purple at the same time, and deleted in the same year. There is one super-rare Superfast version which is the red body from the regular wheels car on Superfast wheels (fakes are known). Some early purple Superfasts have opening doors while most of them are cast shut.

All the Superfast versions are hard to find and expensive. Two in particular are in the thousands and they are the red Superfast and the purple Superfast with opening doors.
