I forgot I owned this. I got this when I was about 5 or 6
years old. I think this thing gave the Corvette sickness...
still in original paint

That's pretty cool and it's no doubt worth a few bucks. If you're considering unloading it, do your homework first. Although toys can vary widely like anything else, the occasional odd piece just might blow your mind. You never know. Just last year I paid over $50 for a pair of vintage, bullet-nosed Studebaker toy cars with friction engines. And just like with many of the real cars I've bought over the years, one was "nice" and the other was for "parts!"
When I was a teen, I worked at a Shell station. In between pumping gas, washing windshields and doing repairs inside, we also often cleaned up cars for the car lot next door. One salesman whom I'll never forget was the quintessential used car salesman known as "Smiley" Jack Miley. And he once told me something that I've never forgotten. He'd brought some real POS car over there for me to clean up. And he waited on it as I did, because he was going to show it to someone. I knew him well enough by then that I could say something like this to him. The car, which I don't even remember what it was, was an obvious piece of shit to anyone with the slightest savvy in these matters. So as I was finishing it up I asked him, "Jack, who would buy a piece of shit like this?" He replied without hesitation, "Son, there's an ass for every seat!"
This is only partially relevant to your subject but the point is, there's almost always someone, somewhere who'd give their left nut for even the most seemingly worthless item. Whenever possible, it always pays to be patient and take the time to find that buyer.

Oh and whatever you do, don't try to "restore" it. "As is" condition is almost always the most desirable option to collectors.

It probably is worth some dough. I've owned for at least 50 years....gettin to be an old geezer. Not going to sell it but probably pass it on to family if they want it.

Wow....a survivor from the original owner.

is it a noumbers matching car

One owner and original paint!

Gotta be worth....10 bucks

I've got a couple of those...both bronze colored. Both worth about $5 each...
Check out some old pics of my measly little Toy collection . These pics are prolly 3 years old...the room has gotten smaller since then...
