MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1962 Corvette Gasser Collector Guide
The little Corvette gets a very different attitude with its nose in the air and engine out in the open. The early brown car wears Mad Mouse lettering, the orange car turns to From the Vault decoration, and the later gray and black pair carry bold number 62 graphics. Paint is only the start of the comparison.

What to look for
Six releases are pictured here, including the teal car from the Drag Strip five-pack. The pack photograph shows that Corvette second from the top. The gray JBB08 mainline and black JBC43 Super Treasure Hunt have separate guides so their wheels and finishes can be compared directly.

Each photo links to the release it shows.
Choosing one for your collection
Inspect the exposed engine and front axle area before looking for paint chips. A side photograph shows the raised stance better than an overhead view.
A code stamped on the base can record manufacture timing without being the product number. The teal pack car was previously filed here under T21; its guide now identifies the HTV54 pack while keeping the existing address.
Collector questions
Does T21 identify the teal release?
T21 is a base date code, not the toy number. HTV54 identifies the Drag Strip five-pack containing the teal Corvette shown here.
