This release and its companions
Choosing one for your collection
Examine the bare-metal body for spots and handling marks. Natural variation in the metal finish should not be confused with a different painted colorway.
Check the printed number and white lower area. A listing photograph should show the actual silver car, not merely another model filed under HYY17.
Collector questions
Does the silver finish make this a Super Treasure Hunt?
No. This is the Kroger-exclusive ZAMAC recolor. It is not identified here as a Super Treasure Hunt.
