Hot Wheels Corvette C6.R Gulf Racing Die-cast Car

This item is a Hot Wheels die-cast toy car, specifically a Corvette C6.R model, packaged in its original blister card. The car is predominantly white with an orange racing stripe running down the center, featuring the 'Gulf' logo visible on the hood. The racing livery also includes '09' on the side doors, indicating it's a specific race car replica. The car has black wheels with a red or orange rim accent, consistent with modern Hot Wheels designs. It appears to be made of die-cast metal for the body and plastic for the chassis and interior, a standard Hot Wheels construction. The packaging consists of a light blue cardboard backing card with the 'Hot Wheels' logo prominent at the top, a stylized illustration of the car, and text like 'HW CITY'. A clear plastic bubble encases the car, keeping it secure and visible. The card's upper right corner appears to have a slight bend or crease, and the hang tab section shows minor wear, suggesting it may have been hung or handled. The overall condition of the car itself appears to be pristine, as it remains sealed in its original packaging. Hot Wheels often release various series throughout the year, implying an estimated age within the last decade or two, given the C6.R model and contemporary packaging design. The visible quality of craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced die-cast toys, with clearly defined body lines and applied decals. The packaging measures approximately 6.5 inches in height and 4.25 inches in width (estimated), holding a car that is roughly 2.5 to 3 inches long.
