That must be one of the very first Hot Wheels made. Mattel didn't launch Hot Wheels until 1968.
Yes I believe so. I also have a Mustang from the same year :)
In 1967, the Corvette did not yet have that body shape. But, nice model!
Wow, I just found one just like yours. Have you any idea what it is worth?
The one I have here sold for about $35 at auction on eBay if I remember right. Is yours still in the package? My book says $450 for mint in package, $125 for near mint, & $35 for excellent condition. The book is for an orange Corvette. Value may very by color.
