What distinguishes this casting
This is the open-top Custom Corvette casting in the Billionth Car Collection. The gold-chromed body, convertible cockpit and Ultra Hots wheels separate it from the three other Corvettes in the set. HWC Garage shortens its catalog name to “Custom Corvette”; older Mattel lists and collector catalogs use “Custom Corvette Convertible.” The 9246-0911 toy number and 7670 casting number identify different things.
The four cars in the Billionth Car Collection share a gold-chrome finish and display theme, but they are not four color variations of one casting. Compare the body profile, base shape, wheel style and Newsletter toy number where listed.
Packaging and display
The collection paired each Corvette with a removable Hot Wheels-logo trophy display marked “Billionth Car.” The vehicle could detach from the trophy. A loose car, a car still attached to the trophy and a complete packaged example are different condition records; check the mount and original components when identifying a set piece.
Value Research
Compare completed sales for this exact release code and casting, with the same gold-chrome finish, wheel type and display components. Record the car, trophy and original package separately when a listing includes only some of them. No fixed price range is assigned without verified, condition-matched sales.
Packaging, chrome wear, missing trophy hardware and the presence of any original promotional material can change what is being compared. A similar gold Corvette from another series is not a direct match.

These are four different Corvette castings issued in one series. Open each release record to compare its tool, toy number and wheels.
