Truck Along Series Appraisal

Hot Wheels 1983 Chevy Silverado Black Widow (Truck Along Series)

This is a 1:64 scale die-cast toy car from Mattel's Hot Wheels line, featuring the '83 Chevy Silverado. The vehicle is part of the 'Truck Along' sub-series (numbered 3 of 5) and the 2023 mainline collection (numbered 42/250). The casting features a die-cast metal body and plastic chassis. It is finished in a complex 'Black Widow' themed wrap consisting of a black base coat covered in intricate pink and grey web-like graphics with 'Black Widow' branding prominently displayed in pink and white text on the doors. The truck sits on black 5-spoke wheels. The item is in its original 'New in Box' (NIB) condition, sealed in a clear plastic blister on a standard collector card. The card art displays a stylized illustration of the truck against a blue sky background with the classic yellow and red Hot Wheels logo at the top. Condition appears excellent with no visible soft corners on the card, creases, or cracks in the plastic blister. This specific release is inspired by the real-world custom truck build from Black Widow Exhausts, reflecting modern automotive aftermarket culture.
