Incredibly, the car even has an interior, though a slightly shallower one the standard to accommodate the electronics for the lights.In 2006, a Series 3 line of Classics was introduced, again containing 30 models with multiple colors of each vehicle. Models included the '69 Pontiac Firebird, a Meyers Manx dune buggy, and the Richard Petty '70 Plymouth "Superbird".
