The Chevy Pro Stocker is a Chevrolet Stock Car racer, originally issued in 1981 to replace Vantastic. When Lesney was sold and became Matchbox International, the Chevy Pro Stocker was given a mild redesign, filling in the headlights and enlarging the rear spoiler. In 1987, it was replaced in the line-up by MB34-D, Ford RS200, but continued to appear in special editions and multipacks for several years.

The plastic interior of the car does not expand past the seat back; the rear window is frosted to obscure the top of the car's base in that area.
