T-Bird Stocker (1994)

==Description==
In 1994, the T-Bird Stocker had a casting change. The front airdam received an upward indention in the middle area; and the front fenders flare more outwardly. So far, this version has only been used from 1994 to 1996.
Fun Fact: The first variations from the Ford 5-Pack are similar to the Bill Elliott's #11 Budweiser car which appeared from '92 to '94. Of course due to the fact that Hot Wheels does not want alcohol sponsors on their toy for little kids, the Budweiser sponsor was replaced with the "Ford" logo. This is not the only time Hot Wheels had to replace sponsors. Ricky Craven's #50 (and #25) Budwiser Chevrolet Monte Carlo Stocker had its sponsors replaced with "Hendrick Motorsports". Sterling Marlin's #40 Coor's Light '01 Dodge Intrepid Stock Car had its sponsors replaced with "Sterling Marlin". Rusty Wallace's #2 Miller Beer Pontiac Stocker has its sponsors replaced with "Pontiac". With all these changes it's a surprise that Hot Wheels kept Mark Martin's #6 Viagra Taurus Stocker as is.
Also considering that the T-Bird Stocker (1994) features Bill Elliott's #94 McDonald's car and Bill Elliott's #94 Thunderbat car, it's no surprise that the #11 car from the Ford 5-Pack is based on a stocker Bill Elliott once drove.

==Prototype==
These two Luis Montesdeoca Collection Prototypes prove that Hot wheels initially had a different idea of what to do with the casting. These Prototypes had a much different appearance, while keeping intact certain visual elements. Whats remarkable about these prototypes was that the front was made with a rubber-like material, and as seen in the base, the cars have gears and bolts to perform a function. What that function is is unclear. If these prototypes where suppose to appear in a cancelled series is unknown. If these are stand alone castings, or castings Hot Wheels later redesigned into the mainline version is also unknown.
