I bought this piece 3 years ago in the same Used  condition it is in now. From what I could tell when I first purchased it, the diecast metal is brittle. I have taken it out of the box twice: once to inspect my original purchase, and the second time to take pictures of it for this listing. Areas of damage are 1) Both hood hinges arms are broken (but still included with the car for this sale), and 2) the driver's side A-pillar has a kink

Thanks for looking, and Happy Shopping!

This is a rare Ertl Collectibles 1:43 American Muscle Limited Edition diecast car, featuring a 1971 Plymouth HEMI 'Cuda in vibrant yellow color. This beautifully crafted model comes with a protective case, making it a great addition to any collection. The attention to detail on this car is amazing, from the Mopar character family to the scale of 1:43 and the year of manufacture in 2000. It's a must-have for any diecast car enthusiast and a unique piece for collectors.
