MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1970 Porsche 917 (1:43) Collector Guide
The 917 sits almost flat against the road, with a tiny cockpit tucked between sweeping fenders. Red and white paint and bold number 23 roundels make this a striking racing model. This Hot Wheels is part of the larger 1:43 range, so give it more shelf space than a mainline car.

A closer look at the 1970 Porsche 917 (1:43)
The long tail and low nose are best enjoyed from a front three-quarter angle. From above, the shape becomes even more dramatic: the cockpit takes up only a small part of the broad body. The white sections around the headlights help pick out the curves against the red paint.
Premium 1:43 details
The pictured 2025 HWG48 release carries number 20 on its Premium 1:43 package. The car itself wears racing number 23. Real Riders and Metal/Metal branding appear at the lower left of the card, alongside the clearly printed scale.

Choosing one for your collection
Check the pointed nose and the edges of the tail for chips on a loose example. The white areas make dark marks easy to see, while a scratch in the red can be harder to spot without a close photograph. Ask for a top view so the roof and number panel are visible.
Before buying a display case, check its internal measurements against the actual model. The 1:43 marking matters here; a compartment intended for ordinary mainline Hot Wheels may be too small. For a packaged car, inspect the wide blister for dents and separation from the backing.
Collector questions
Is this the same size as a mainline Hot Wheels?
No. This release is labeled 1:43. Match that scale as well as the Porsche name when comparing listings or planning a display.
