They had bunches of these, but marked "Race and Chase" <shrug>
Of possible interest as parts fodder is the 6567 Speed Splasher, at

treasure is being transported in a clear bell jar. (This set is now
$3.56 at Service Merchandise, if anyone is thinking of buying lots).
The Gilroy store didn't have a huge stock of the Hypnocruisers, but
my needs are modest, so there were at least a few there when I left.
Thanks for the tip-off!
