2013 Hot Wheels ’09 Corvette Stingray Concept X1977 — Grabber blue — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
Yellow stripes and yellow wheel rims make the blue Corvette 60th recolor stand apart from the orange version. The wheel centers stay dark, with the thin rim doing most of the visual work.

X1977 is the blue Kmart-exclusive recolor of the 2013 Corvette 60th release. Its stripe color and wheel finish are both worth checking when comparing loose cars.
Physical Details
The bright blue body carries yellow upper and side stripes, with yellow rings on black MC5 wheels. These two yellow details separate it from the pale-blue 2010 car. Keep the retailer claim tied to catalog evidence; a loose car alone does not demonstrate where it was sold.

Packaging Details
Package evidence must follow the specific release. A body color, toy number or casting name can occur with more than one regional card. A loose reference does not establish its original card, and the copyright year on the package is not automatically the assortment release year.
The assortment is identified in the release facts above, but this page currently shows the car loose. A complete front-and-reverse package photograph is still needed to authenticate regional card numbers, barcode and factory seal. When buying a packaged specimen, compare its actual wheel faces and decoration with the loose reference before treating it as the same release.
Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Thin rim printing wears quickly around the outer edge. Check all four wheels and the yellow side stripe, especially near the pointed front of the door decoration.
The reference shows one side. Ask for the other side and the underside when condition, base details or wheel originality matter.
Collector questions
What identifies the blue Corvette 60th recolor?
Look for the yellow stripes and thin yellow wheel rims together. The other pictured blue cars use different decoration and wheel finishes.

Evidence and Research Scope
Reference photographs and visible decoration were compared for this guide. The retained Hot Wheels Newsletter catalog supplies the release comparison and wheel terminology. The gray 2010 New Models front-and-reverse package photographs support the package numbers shown here. Photo and packaging observations apply to those reference specimens, not every manufactured example.

Market evidence: the stored record has no completed-sale comparisons. No price range, rarity score or market trend is supplied. Identification can be useful without a valuation; a supported valuation requires matched sales with known condition, packaging, currency and sale date.
