Baja Breaker
The Baja Breaker was designed by Larry Wood. It is based on the 1970s Chevrolet Blazer or GMC Jimmy, heavily modified for off-road desert racing, in the style of vehicles that compete in the Baja 1000.
The casting first debuted in 1977 under the name "Blazer". It was renamed Baja Breaker in 1983. The model 4360 is from the 1984 "Real Riders" series.
The Baja Breaker features a removable plastic camper shell, large off-road tires, and a lifted suspension. The 1984 Real Riders version is notable for its yellow paint scheme with racing graphics and its rubber, knobby Real Riders off-road tires. It has a metal body and chassis.
This casting is often compared to the '80s GMC Sierra or other Hot Wheels off-road trucks. Its closest relative is the casting's original "Blazer" identity before the name change.
The initial 1977 release as "Blazer" was in enamel orange. As the Baja Breaker, it has been released in dozens of color and tampo schemes. The color of the removable top often varies from the body color. CT (Construction Tire) wheels were also used on some versions.
