65 Honda S800 Appraisal

Hot Wheels '65 Honda S800 Treasure Hunt

This item is a Hot Wheels die-cast model car, specifically the '65 Honda S800 from the 2023 mainline collection. It is identifiable as a 'Treasure Hunt' edition, indicated by the flaming wheel logo on the card art behind the car. The car itself is predominantly orange with a yellow hood and yellow racing side panels, featuring the number '58' in white circles on the doors and hood, along with 'HONDA' printed below the side numbers. The model has a metallic finish, signifying its status as a Super Treasure Hunt (STH) or Regular Treasure Hunt (T-Hunt), though the specific metallic flake is hard to definitively assess from the image. The wheels are black with chrome rims, characteristic of Hot Wheels' collector-focused releases. The car is sealed in its original blister packaging, which consists of a blue and white card with the Hot Wheels logo prominently displayed and a clear plastic bubble protecting the car. The card illustrates a vibrant depiction of the Honda S800. The top right of the card reads '215/250', indicating its numbering in the full 2023 Hot Wheels mainline series, and '9/10' within the 'Compact Kings' miniseries with a crown logo. The packaging appears to be in excellent, unopened condition with no visible creases, tears, or damage, which is crucial for collector value. The car's scale is typical for Hot Wheels (approximately 1:64 scale). This specific casting, combined with the Treasure Hunt status, makes it a highly sought-after collectible among Hot Wheels enthusiasts. The craftsmanship is standard for Hot Wheels, with decent detailing for its size and price point, mimicking the classic lines of the '65 Honda S800 sports car.
