Chevette Appraisal

Hot Wheels '70s Chevrolet Chevette (VP Racing Fuels Livery)

This is a 1:64 scale die-cast metal and plastic toy car manufactured by Mattel under the Hot Wheels brand. The item is part of the 'HW Drag Racers' sub-series, numbered 1/10 for its specific set and 112/250 for the 2023 mainline collection. The vehicle features a light blue (sky blue) paint finish with a distinctive 'VP Racing Fuels' sponsorship livery. The graphics include the 'VP' logo, red and white racing stripes, and the number '76' prominently displayed on the rear quarter panel. It is constructed with a die-cast body and a plastic base, featuring white 5-spoke wheels with black tires. The casting includes a custom oversized hood scoop, indicating a drag racing modification style. The item is presented in its original 'Short Card' or standard blister pack packaging, which includes a colorful cardboard backing with stylized character art of the car and a clear plastic blister housing the vehicle. The packaging appears to be in relatively good condition with no major visible creases, though the image quality makes a definitive grade of 'Mint' difficult to confirm. The production date is circa 2022-2023.
