Ford Torino Cobra Appraisal

1992 Racing Champions Ford Torino Cobra #5 Pete Hamilton Die-Cast Car

This item is a die-cast toy replica of a Ford Torino Cobra stock car, produced by Racing Champions Inc. in 1992. The car is predominantly purple with white lettering and graphics. Notable markings include the number '5' on the roof, doors, and rear quarter panel, 'PETE HAMILTON' printed below the number on the roof, 'Torino Cobra' on the side, 'FORD' near the front wheel well, and '429 C.I.' near the rear quarter panel on the trunk. The casting appears to be a 1:64 scale based on the typical size of Racing Champions die-cast cars from this era. It features clear plastic windows and rubber-look tires with wheel details. Overall, the car appears to be in good condition with minimal visible wear. There are no obvious scratches, paint chips, or damage. The paint retains a decent sheen, suggesting it has not been heavily played with. The construction is typical for a die-cast toy car of this period, likely featuring a metal body and plastic chassis and interior components. There are no visible manufacturing marks besides the Racing Champions identification inferred from the provided context.
