Matchbox Superfast Appraisal

Matchbox Superfast Plymouth Prowler Die-cast Car (New in Package)

This item is a Matchbox Superfast Plymouth Prowler die-cast toy car, presented new in its original blister packaging. The packaging consists of a red and yellow cardboard backing card with a clear plastic bubble encasing the vehicle. The card features the 'MATCHBOX' logo prominently at the top, along with 'MATCHBOX SUPERFAST' and 'PLYMOUTH PROWLER' text. The top right corner indicates '#34 OF 75 VEHICLES', suggesting it is part of a larger series. 'FOR AGES 3 AND OVER' is printed on the top left. The color scheme of the card is vibrant with a yellow gradient on a black background for the vehicle graphic, and a solid red hanger tab. The toy car itself is a detailed miniature replica of a Plymouth Prowler, rendered in a deep, glossy maroon or dark red finish. It features distinct open-wheel styling, characteristic of the actual Prowler, with silver-colored multi-spoke wheels and black tires. The interior appears to be black. The vehicle is secured within the clear plastic bubble, which shows no apparent cracks or significant dents, maintaining the 'new in package' condition. There is a green price sticker, possibly indicating a retail price of '101' (likely $.99 or $1.01 in an older context), affixed to the plastic bubble, slightly obscuring part of the card's artwork. The overall presentation is clean, indicating good preservation of the packaging with minimal wear visible on the card edges or corners. This item would likely date from the late 1990s to early 2000s, given the Matchbox 'Superfast' branding during that era and the period of the Plymouth Prowler's production.
