MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1972 Stingray Convertible Collector Guide
With the roof out of the way, the Stingray’s sweeping fenders and bright cockpit do most of the talking. The early blue and silver cars wear five-spoke wheels; red, white, gold-toned yellow and green releases use retro slots. The blue Mystery car adds something entirely different: printed crash marks.

What to look for
The two blue releases deserve a side-by-side look. The Roadsters car has clean bodywork, while the Mystery edition carries number 2 and deliberate scuff-like decoration. That artwork is part of the release, although it does not rule out real wear on a used example.

Choosing one for your collection
Inspect the windshield frame from above and look for rubbing on the raised fender tops. The exposed chrome-colored cockpit can also show handling marks.
Multipack toy number X6999 appears on both the yellow and green releases. Keep the color and release year with the code when recording them in a collection.
Collector questions
Are the marks on the blue Mystery car accidental damage?
The JCL14 release includes factory crash-style graphics. Compare their placement with the reference photo, then inspect separately for genuine chips or scratches.
