MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

Brown paint and pale racing lettering give the first-year Gasser an old drag-strip feel. The raised front end and exposed engine are the details to notice before the decoration.

What to look for
HCT12 is the brown 2022 release pictured on its original card. The side lettering and wheel combination make a better match than simply looking for a brown Corvette.

This release and its companions






Choosing one for your collection
Check the engine and the thin parts around the front axle. On a loose example, ask for a level side view to see whether the stance is even.
Look closely at the printing across the doors and rear quarters. A small rub in pale lettering can disappear against the brown finish.
Collector questions
Is this a stock Corvette road car?
No. This is the Gasser casting, with a raised nose and exposed engine rather than the standard road-car profile.
