MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1970 Nova — 2008 M0428 Dark Blue
Orange graphics and an orange cabin give the dark blue Nova a warmer look than its chrome companion. This is the other M0428 from the 2008 Modern Classics lineup, still numbered 3/15.

What to look for
The blue body sits on an unpainted metal base and open-hole five-spoke wheels. Its shared code and card position make a photograph especially useful: a listing that only says M0428 has not identified the finish.

This release and its companion
Choosing one for your collection
Study the orange striping at the door and rear quarter. A dark blue body can hide chips until the car is photographed against a light background.
Look through the side window for the orange interior. If the car is carded, compare the actual blister contents as well as the artwork.
Collector questions
Is this a duplicate of the chrome Nova entry?
No. It is a distinct color combination under the same toy code: dark blue paint, orange graphics and an orange interior.
