Preowned. Box looks great for age, better than normal wear! Box probably worth more than the toy! There are some yellowish stains on the box, and the normal wear for age.
The vette has NO cracks, just normal wear and still has a bit of a “new car” shine to it. All the stickers are dried and peeling off. Would be awesome to take them all off and apply new decals on it. It is missing the windshield, and may be missing other pieces. Not sure what else comes with it. The tires and metal axels are still very nice. You can tell previous owner was either adult collector or a child who kept good care of their toys, but age has taken its wear on it over the years.
This will be a great restoration piece and that box! Great for its age. I had this toy in my possession for the last 15 years and always been in original box stored in a plastic bin, stored in doors in dry environment. No smoke or humidity.
