Chevy Nova Ss Appraisal

Hot Wheels Red Line Club (RLC) 1972 Chevy Nova SS

This is a high-end, collector-grade Hot Wheels die-cast model of a 1972 Chevy Nova SS, specifically an RLC (Red Line Club) exclusive release. The vehicle is finished in a vibrant metallic Spectraflame purple with a white horizontal racing stripe along the side profile. The model features a level of detail significantly higher than standard retail releases, including a die-cast chassis, opening hood with engine detailing, and Real Riders wheels with rubber tires and chrome rims. The car is secured within its original clear acrylic display case, which rests on a black textured base. The acrylic cover is labeled with '1972 CHEVY NOVA SS' and features 'Red Line' and 'Yenko' logos. The original decorative cardboard outer box is also present, featuring colorful psychedelic 1970s-style graphic art and the Hot Wheels logo. Manufacturing is credited to Mattel. The condition appears to be 'new in box' (NIB) or 'mint in package,' with no visible paint chips, oxidation on the chrome, or scratches on the acrylic case. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise tampo printing of the 'SS' and 'Nova' emblems and the realistic proportions of the heavy die-cast construction.
