Car shows very minor age and play wear. Box does have some dings and a price sticker attached to front. Car says 1979, but box says 1983. I know the box is Stamped with the correct Car on the sides, and I know they we used molds often. So my guess is they made this Car first in 1979 and kept reusing that mold, releasing it for a certain series of years which could be why the box has a later date. Please see photos.
