Mustang Fastback Appraisal

Hot Wheels '65 Mustang 2+2 Fastback Die-Cast Car

This item is a Hot Wheels die-cast miniature car, specifically a '65 Mustang 2+2 Fastback, still sealed in its original blister packaging. The car itself is a metallic dark red or burgundy color, featuring two prominent white racing stripes running longitudinally over the hood and roof. Additional white detailing can be seen along the lower body sides. The wheels are multi-spoke, rendered in a silver or chrome finish, with visible black tires. The vehicle appears to be in pristine condition, as it remains factory sealed, encased within a clear plastic blister attached to a cardboard backing card. The card itself is predominantly blue with the iconic yellow and red Hot Wheels logo. Text on the card includes 'GUARANTEED FOR LIFE' at the top, a 'BEST FOR TRACK' badge, and '1/10' indicating its position within a series. An image of the actual car, larger than the physical toy, is printed on the card art. A notable feature is a white circular sticker applied to the blister packaging over the car, with an indecipherable blue mark resembling a signature or symbol. This sticker is an external addition and not part of the original Hot Wheels packaging. The packaging shows minor wear typical of retail handling, such as slight edge scuffs or minor bending, but nothing that appears to compromise the integrity of the car's seal. This piece represents a collectible toy, likely from a modern production run given the contemporary Hot Wheels branding and card design.
