Product Description
2005 Hot Wheels Tail Dragger Purple Red Lines 5/5 G6827 #100 Short Card
Add a distinctive mid-2000s custom Hot Wheels release to your collection with this 2005 Hot Wheels Tail Dragger from the Red Lines Series.
 
Finished in beautiful Pearl Purple / Pearl Plum, the Tail Dragger features a clean black Hot Wheels logo on the rear quarter, black interior, smoke-tinted windows, an unpainted metal base, and classic Redline 5-Spoke wheels.
 
Released as Collector #100 and #5 of 5 in the 2005 Red Lines Series, product number G6827, this example is particularly interesting because it comes on the compact Short Card / International-style packaging rather than the more common full-size U.S. card.
 
Its low-slung custom styling, Redline-inspired wheels, purple finish, and unusual short-card packaging make it an appealing piece for collectors of older Hot Wheels customs and packaging variations.
The car is New in package: See pictures for quality and variations. The card may have some shelf wear on corner and edge.
 
Collector’s Notes
2005 Hot Wheels Tail Dragger Purple Red Lines 5/5 G6827 #100 Short Card
The 2005 Red Lines G6827 was released in several documented variations. The standard purple version was produced with RL5SP wheels and can be found with either a China or Malaysia base. A separate Metalflake Turquoise/Aqua Kmart Collector’s Day Exclusive used regular 5SP wheels.
Your Purple Short Card is worth specifically identifying as a packaging variation. An exact 2005 Purple G6827 short-card example is currently documented on eBay, confirming that this packaging configuration exists separately from the standard long card.
 
The Tail Dragger itself is essentially a heavily customized 1941 Ford-style coupe/lead sled, which adds appeal for custom-car and traditional hot-rod collectors.
