This past week Diane Strauss and the Hot Wheels Newsletter have announced another casting in this year’s convention car line-up. That casting is the 1967 Camaro! It will be dressed in white with gray & blue flamed stripes on hood, roof, trunk & sides, black interior & Real Riders® tires with Goodyear logo. While the original ‘67 Camaro was designed by Larry Wood, credit for the tampo work on this one goes to designer Wayne Scott. Just as the others, this car is limited to a run of no more than 3,000 pieces and will available in the souvenier room at the convention for $20 each beginning on October 2, 2007.
Check out the official picture of the ‘67 Camaro here.

After a long absence, the Toyota 2000 GT will be welcomed back by AUTOart as four different 1967 and 1968 SCCA race models. Originally conceived by renowned auto designer Graf Goertz, a running prototype was built in 1963 with the help of Yamaha. Amazingly it was rejected by Datsun who wanted a fastback sports coupe. Well, they pitched it to the guys at Toyota and the rest is history! In 1968 Carroll Shelby financed a team in the SCCA C Production Class and enjoyed several wins and podium finishes. The four models being produced will be AUTOart Diecast Model Nos. 86816 (1968 Toyota 2000 GT SCCA #33), 86815 (1968 #23), 86716 (1967 #2 24 Hours of Fuji Race), and 86715 (1967 #1 24 Hours of Fuji Race). Also coming soon will be 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer WRC Rally cars!
