Taurus Stocker (1998)

==Description==
The 98 Ford Taurus Stocker is the successor to the T-Bird Stocker. This was the normal Ford Stock car used until a redesigned 2000 Taurus Stocker took its place.
In 2000, despite Hot Wheels moving onto a new casting, the 2000 Taurus Stocker, the casting was randomly used one more time in the Silver Daytona 500 series as the #12 and #98 car.
In the Ford Auto Assembly and Ultimate Ford Complex sets, casting is unique in that it can be taken apart into various pieces. It can be split into the engine, chassis and body. The car was intended to be disassembled and pieced together using the various machinery in the playset.
NOTE: There is no name on the base.
