    Nice find there ... the pattern on there is still in pretty nice shape ... does look like it did take a couple of rides on its roof, though ... means it was enjoyed (y).

    BIG money? ... not quite, but likely $30-40. To go for more than that, it would have to be painstakingly perfect, and would likely top out at about $60-70.

    That car was from the SuperChrome series from 1975 or 76. Not a true chrome, they were vaccuum metalized similar to how plastic is chromed for dash parts in full scale cars.

    BTW, The colored pattern is not a decal ... it was rolled on by a machine (two in this case, two colors) and is called a "tampo". Even after years of collecting these, it is still very difficult not to add a "n" to the end of that word ...:rolleyes:

    As a childhood memory, I say keep it. Wish I still had mine ... my bratty cousin ended up with them ... I have over-compensated for that now though ...:evilsmile
