Action Collectibles Darrell Waltrip #66 Big K Route 66 Die-Cast Car Original Packaging

This item is the original cardboard packaging for a Darrell Waltrip #66 Big K Route 66 die-cast collectible car, produced by Action Performance Companies Inc. The box features a vibrant primary color scheme of white, red, yellow, and blue, consistent with the Kmart/Big K branding and the specific car's livery. It prominently displays Darrell Waltrip's name in blue serif lettering alongside a printed replica of his signature. The number '66' is featured in large gray block lettering. The 'Big K' logo and a 'Route 66' road sign emblem are also highly visible. The box is constructed from standard glossy cardstock and shows signs of significant age and shelf wear, including visible scuffing, edge wear, and a small puncture or tear near the top blue panel. An orange price sticker remains affixed to the lower section. Based on the branding and driver tenure, this item likely dates from the late 1990s (circa 1998-2000), representing a significant era in NASCAR merchandising and the final years of Waltrip's legendary racing career.
