Hot Wheels "Mystery Models" '66 Chevy Nova

While I fail to see much merit in these Mystery Models, the mystery of finding some random & (hopefully)cool Hot Wheel car hidden inside a bag may be intriguing to little kids, I don't know.  I believe this little car was about $1.09 at Walmart.

Cars are accompanied by a sticker, but that's about it for the Mystery Models outside their suspenseful packaging........  But it's not all that suspenseful, because as most collectors know, selection number of the car is stamped right on the front of the bag(w/complete line-up on the back).

From this 2014 series, one car I had to have was this '66 Chevy Nova.  Number 08/ of 12.  I hope you enjoy the pictures.

I'm not sure of the original MSRP on these Modern Classics cars, but they can be pretty rare & spendy in the secondary market these days.  I personally love the extra detailing Mattel gave these cars, cool wheels, and also the killer paint job.
