Mechanix

Mechanix was a series that featured cars and other vehicles which could be customized with interchangeable parts. Each set contained one vehicle, a tool and some parts like monster truck wheels, bumpers and spoilers that could be added to or removed from the vehicle easily. The first set was released in 1997.
In the next year, the "Mechanix Deluxe" line appeared, where two vehicles, like a Plane & a Car, could be merge together.

This appears to be a separate line, but the year could be wrong as the "Off Roadster Helicopter" is part of the same line. So this could actually be the 1999 line but labeled as 2000
