’80 Mercedes-Benz 500 SLC Rallye — 2025 HRT63

Official Identification

The collector reference reports the base name as 1980 Mercedes-Benz 500 SLC Rallye. That expanded spelling is a casting-name clue; a base photograph is still needed to verify the wording on a particular car.

Variation Summary

One source-supported exact edition is linked in this family: 2025 HRT63, Boulevard #131. Its silver body, black hood, number 80 side decoration and gray European-style wheels form the documented combination.

No second colorway or running-change identity is inferred from repeated photographs, different manufacturing batches or an altered loose car. The separate casting-family guide and this exact-release guide retain the same catalog relationship. The family page is a grouping reference; an owned car is a separate specimen.

Physical Details

The silver coupe body and contrasting hood are visible in the packaged car. Card artwork supplies a much larger illustration of the model, but it cannot prove every small printed detail on the actual toy. Use a clear side/front view to check fender lettering and the plate.

Packaging Details

The red 131 circle identifies this Boulevard entry. The 80 on the car is its racing decoration, while ’80 in the model name identifies the represented vehicle year. None is an individually numbered production serial.

The reference shows no readable barcode, card back or base. Regional package differences and unseen manufacturing marks are not asserted from this front view. Record sealed, opened, resealed and loose presentation separately.

Condition and Originality

Check the black hood’s edges, silver arch lips and front bumper corners for paint loss. Inspect number 80, sponsor graphics and the small fender printing directly on the toy. A broad side photograph can hide fine-print wear, and shiny silver paint can mask chips in direct light.

Inspect wheel-face scuffs, tire seating, straight axle alignment and base rivets. Record wheel swaps, repaints or other modifications explicitly because the racing silhouette can survive changes that remove factory-release comparability.

For a carded purchase, examine the card corners, hanger, blister and seal separately from the toy. Request additional front, side, rear and base photographs when condition or originality matters. This single packaged reference does not supply those missing views of an offered car.

Completed-Sale Evidence and Value

No eligible exact-release completed-sale observations are attached to the inspected HRT63 record. No numeric price range, demand score, trend or rarity claim is displayed. Missing value evidence is not a zero valuation.

Match HRT63 and its factory component/deco combination, then keep loose and carded condition cohorts separate. Current retailer asking prices, another Mercedes model’s sale or the full-size rally car’s history do not supply an observed toy value. Read MM’s completed-sales value methodology.

Collector Questions

Does ’80 mean Hot Wheels released it in 1980?

No. It describes the represented Mercedes. The documented Hot Wheels debut is the 2025 HRT63 edition.

Is Boulevard 131 the racing number?

No. The card uses 131; the car’s decoration uses 80. Match both along with HRT63 and the body/wheel details.

Do multiple base codes mean separate collectible variations?

Not automatically. Manufacturing codes can identify batches. A separate variation needs a documented component, decoration or packaging difference and a stable child identity.

Sources and Corrections

Reference research reviewed October 1, 2026.

Mattel supports the exact model/code and advertised premium construction; the collector table supports the 2025 debut and detailed component descriptions. The package-front photograph corroborates visible finish, hood, number and card identity, but does not independently show the base. One documented edition is not a claim about every future release.

Inherited authorized reference-image provenance is retained; this repair does not independently reauthenticate the rights grant. MM image and evidence policy. Send MM a correction with the code and clear photographs of the disputed feature.
