Silver Dragster Appraisal

Hot Wheels Vintage Collection Dragster (Silver) with Matching Collector's Outer Tire

This item is a Hot Wheels Vintage Collection diecast car, presented in its original blister packaging. The specific model is a silver-colored dragster, likely a replica of an earlier Hot Wheels casting, given the 'Authentic Commemorative Replica' text on the card. The car features an elongated body with exposed engine detail at the rear, showcasing a classic hot rod aesthetic. It boasts the 'Low-Friction "Mag" Wheels' characteristic of vintage Hot Wheels, with black tires and chrome-like wheel inserts. The rear wheels appear larger than the front wheels, which is typical for dragster designs. The packaging is a vibrant red card with yellow flames, prominently displaying the 'Hot Wheels' logo. Below the logo, it states 'hottest metal cars in the world! BY MATTEL' and includes the Mattel Inc. toymakers logo. The top left corner of the card has a 'Vintage Collection' emblem. The blister bubble is a clear plastic, molded to fit the car and an accompanying large black tire, which sits to the right of the vehicle. The tire appears to be a promotional or display accessory, possibly a 'Matching Collector's Outer.' The card has a punch-hole for retail display. There are no visible signs of damage to the card or blister, indicating it is in excellent, likely unopened, condition. The silver finish of the car itself appears clean and free of scratches or paint chips. The model number '5700' is visible on the bottom right of the card. This piece represents a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of diecast models and Hot Wheels memorabilia from the Vintage Collection.
