Thought I would get some 2nd opinions from you guys.. I'm looking at a Hwy 61 Challenger Concept (2006) an acquaintance is selling. Made for the Mopars at the Strip carshow, so it has their logo on the roof and is 1 or 100. Otherwise it's a normal Chally....the concept challengers aren't nearly as preferred as production versions. My Q is this: Does minor stuff like this honestly do anything to the value??? Im intrigued by the rarity, as Mopars at the Strip is a good show, otherwise I wouldn't give this car a 2nd look. Normally a hwy 61 Challenger concept would be between $29-45ish, but am not sure what a good offer on this would be. I haven't found another like it.

thanks for any advice

I wouldn't think so even though the Mopars on the Strip is one of the biggest shows for Mopar nuts.  I wouldn't pay top dollar for it, I just don't see that big of a resale value for it.  Just look at the stuff from the Mopar Nats they they haven't sold yet:  http://www.moparnats.org/DieCast.htm

However, if you can get it at the going rates for the Challenger Concepts, and you like it - I'd say go for it!!!

I would be shocked if any of the Highway 61 Challengers have any real collector value. There are so many of the original concept cars still on shelves!

thanks for the advice guys.....confirms my suspicions. A Run of the mill diecast w/limited ed. marking is still a run-of-the-mill diecast. I had Maisto's version, managed to sell if for decent money before the production version hit the market. Was glad I did, because they're not worth much

I think 70-71 Challenger got a better value; look for the limited editions, like Mr. Norm, or nice T/A, or rare colors.

Anyway when you want to sell it, it's often another story, no one want to pay; it's hard to find serious buyers who got some money in their wallet.

They still sold at Sam's this past Christmas for $11.88! Of course they would not bring much.

As for your original question, unless it was made by Diecast Promotion themselves and the packaging was special and it had a certificate, I would venture to say that it is not worth more than the base model.
I wouldn't pay more then the base model goes for.
