Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Retro Racers

This item is a Hot Wheels die-cast toy car, specifically the 'Shelby Cobra 427 S/C' model, presented in its original sealed blister packaging. The car itself is a vibrant yellow with a black racing stripe down the center of the hood and trunk, flanked by thin blue and red stripes, indicative of classic racing liveries. It features red-rimmed wheels with black tires, and the 'Hot Wheels' flame logo is visible on the side panels. The vehicle is part of the 'Retro Racers' series, as indicated on the card. The packaging is a standard Hot Wheels card, predominantly blue with the iconic 'Hot Wheels' logo at the top, and showcases an illustration of the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C. Notable markings on the card include '152/250', suggesting its numerical placement within a larger collection for a particular year, and '9/10', indicating it is the 9th car in the 10-car 'Retro Racers' sub-series. A 'GUARANTEED FOR LIFE' emblem is also present. The age suitability is marked '3+'. A circular white sticker with the number '5' handwritten on it is affixed to the plastic blister over the car, likely a retail or inventory marking. The overall condition appears to be new and unopened, with the car securely housed within its clear plastic blister, and the card potentially showing minor shelf wear consistent with retail display, although this is not clearly discernible from the provided image. The quality of Hot Wheels die-cast cars is generally good, known for their durable construction and recognizable designs.
