Gran Toros / Sputafuoco Torpedo
The Gran Toros Torpedo dragster, model number 6604, is a perfect complement to the T'rantula dragster (#6603). It was created exclusively for the Gran Toros series and never released as a Mebetoys Series model. The European packaging typically included a parachute. One of the original Gran Toros, it was part of the Sputafuoco and Heisse Räder Supergorss series and first appeared on the bottom of the North American box and the 1970 Mattel Toyfair catalog, the 1970 Mattel Italian Dealer catalog and the 1970 International catalog.
