Description[]
The Chevrolet Camaro is a pony car manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1967 to 2002 and again in 2010 until 2024. First introduced on 29 September 1966, the Camaro has become one of the most recognizable muscle cars. The name "Camaro" does not appear to mean anything and was likely chosen to continue Chevrolet's trend of naming cars starting with the letter "C"; a GM executive, when asked the question, jokingly claimed that a Camaro was "a small, vicious animal that eats mustangs".
This casting, while similar to the original '67 Camaro and Custom Camaro castings, is an entirely new cast; it features a new hood scoop and new base along with side pipes and is intended to be a representation of sorts of a Yenko Camaro. This casting is likely intended to be a representation of the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro in the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends. This casting was intended to be introduced in the Hot Wheels id series but was not released in any of the mixes before the cancelation of the line. This casting is essentially a modification of the '68 COPO Camaro casting with some minor front fascia differences.
