Noodle Head

==Description==
The Noodle Head is a Hot Wheels casting which debuted in the 1971 Hot Wheels range of vehicles. It is named after its many exhaust pipes which are very heavy, making it one of the fastest downhill racers ever produced by Hot Wheels. Although in the pre-production design phase, an alternate name considered was 'Chrome Dome' with designer Howard Reese stipulating "lots of chrome" on the rear exhaust pipes. It also features opening pop-up headlights. 
It was produced in 1971 and was manufactured in both the USA and Hong Kong production facilities. USA versions came with clear glass and a white interior and Hong Kong versions have blue glass and either a white or dark brown interior. Some small casting variations exist between the two countries, Hong Kong cars have one small dot behind the canopy and USA cars have many, also Hong Kong cars have bumps on the base around the wheels.
It was painted in many 'Spectraflame' colors of which Gold is the hardest to find. Due to differences in the Spectraflame painting process, most 'Light Blue' cars are often merely faded versions of the regular 'Blue' rather than the much rarer true Light Blue.
Original versions were packaged with a plastic 'Collector's Button'.
In 2011, the Noodle Head was retooled for the HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 10 Neo Classics Series and the name was changed to Noodlist.
