For your consideration, we are offering for sale is the iconic 1976 Vintage Mattel Auto Race handheld electronic game — one of the earliest and very collectible LED handhelds ever produced by Mattel. It comes with the original box, styrofoam clamshell insert box, and original paperwork. This video game is in perfect working condition, see the video.

This example is in Near Mint /Mint condition and truly presents as though it was rarely played — if ever. The unit itself is absolutely gorgeous. The faceplate is clean and vibrant, the buttons are crisp, and the overall presentation is outstanding. It’s getting harder and harder to find these early electronic games in this kind of preserved condition.

The original box is also in beautiful shape and displays extremely well. There is a slight tear on the flat flap just above where the side flap inset into the box on the "RA" in Race (see images 6 & 7). High-grade boxed examples like this are becoming increasingly scarce, especially ones that haven’t been heavily worn or crushed over time.

The battery compartment is clean, and the battery cover is intact and secure — no corrosion issues. I installed a battery for testing purposes, and the game powers up and plays perfectly. The LED display is strong, the controls respond properly, and the sound functions as it should.

If you’ve been waiting to add a high-quality Mattel Auto Race to your collection, this is the kind of example you want — clean, sharp, and fully functional. A fantastic piece of early electronic gaming history that would make a standout addition to any vintage toy or handheld game collection.
