In 1973, Hot Wheels reissued the Sand Crab of 1970 and renamed it the Dune Daddy. Along with most other cars from 1973, the Dune Daddy was subject to cost cutting methods that included the removal of the top piece of glass and the change from Spectraflame paint to enamel paint. Dune Daddy's can be found with either a mixture of 'Capped' and 'hole-through' redline wheels or 'Hole-through' wheels on all four. Interiors can be found in Black, Dark Brown, Champagne or White.
