What to look for

HCJ88 is number 5/5 in the set. It has staggered Real Riders drag-dish wheels, with much larger rear tires than fronts. The darker HCK25 chase occupies 0/5, so the sandy body should not be cataloged simply as black.

Choosing one for your collection

Compare the weathering with the reference photograph before calling every rough-looking patch damage. Then look separately for actual chips along the nose and bed rails.

Check that the small front tires and wide rear tires sit properly. A low side view makes the staggered setup easier to judge.

Collector questions

Is the rust on this release supposed to be there?

The rusty patches and wood-style bed are printed decoration. Actual scratches, chips or corrosion still need their own condition assessment.
