Racing Champions Mark Martin #6 Valvoline Die-Cast NASCAR (NASCAR 50th Anniversary Edition)

This is a packaged, 1/64 scale (standard size for this line) die-cast metal racing car produced by Racing Champions. The item features Mark Martin’s Ford Taurus with the iconic blue, white, and red Valvoline sponsorship livery, including the number '6' prominently on the doors and roof. The car is part of the 'Signature Driver Series' and features a facsimile driver signature on the chassis. Notable construction details include a die-cast body and chassis, an opening hood, and 'Real Rubber Tires.' The packaging commemorates the NASCAR 50th Anniversary (1948-1998), dating this item to approximately 1998. The cardstock backing features high-quality graphics with a portrait of Mark Martin, a metallic-gold facsimile signature, and the 50th Anniversary logo. The condition of the item appears to be New Old Stock (NOS) inside the original blister pack. The cardboard backing shows minor edge wear and light softening at the corners, which is typical for items of this age. The plastic blister bubble appears clear and securely attached to the card, with no visible crushing or yellowing in the image provided. These mass-produced collectibles are prized for their specific driver-and-year-accurate graphics and mechanical details like rubber tires.
