This is a recent release from the third incarnation of Johnny Lightning. By recent I mean 2023. In 38 years 2023 will be 40 years ago.
The scale here is 1/64 like the size of a Matchbox car.
Amazingly enough this was not designed by George Barris. But George Barris did buy the 2nd Monkeemobile which had previously been Major Nelson's car in I Dream of Jeanie. The original was owned by the Peterson, across the from the La Brea Tarpits, but for some reason is owned by a collector in New Jersey. Not sure what is up with the Peterson but sometimes they think they are too good for such things.
