Action Racing Mike Skinner 31 Lowes Chevrolet Monte Carlo Die Cast 124 Scale Appraisal

Action Racing Mike Skinner #31 Lowe's Chevrolet Monte Carlo Die-Cast 1:24 Scale

This is a 1:24 scale die-cast replica of the #31 Lowe's/Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet Monte Carlo driven by Mike Skinner in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, dating from approximately 1999 to 2001. The model features a navy blue, white, and red color scheme with high-quality tampos of the primary sponsor 'Lowe's Home Improvement' and the number '31'. The car is constructed of a heavy die-cast metal body on a detailed plastic chassis. Notable features include a detailed interior with full roll cage, simulated window netting, Goodyear Eagle yellow-lettered tires on black aero wheels, and functional steering. The hood and trunk likely open to reveal a detailed V8 engine and fuel cell. The vehicle sits atop its original retail packaging, which showcases a checkered flag pattern and Mike Skinner’s signature. The condition appears to be excellent/near-mint (potentially 'New Old Stock'), showing no significant paint chipping, decal peeling, or missing trim pieces. The box shows minor shelf wear at the corners but remains structurally sound with vibrant colors. The craftsmanship is typical of Action Performance Companies, known for high levels of authenticity in the hobbyist market during this era.
