ACME 1969 Camaro: COPO vs ZL1 Drag Outlaws

Published by

Black ACME 1969 Camaro ZL1 Drag Outlaws 1:18 model

Choose the COPO Camaro for its yellow houndstooth interior and black steel-wheel presentation; choose the ZL1 Drag Outlaws for the specifically named drag-themed model and its removable hood. Both ACME cars are black 1969 Camaros at 1:18, but their trim, display character and hood arrangement differ.

Compare ACME Camaro releases

COPO A1805736: an interior-led choice

The Tuxedo Black COPO Camaro specifically lists yellow houndstooth upholstery, black steel wheels with polished hubcaps and Wide Tread tires. The contrast between the black exterior and bright patterned cabin is a concrete reason to select this release.

Its description identifies a wired and plumbed COPO 427 engine, folding front seats, positionable wheels and an opening hood, doors and trunk. For a display viewed through an open door, the documented upholstery is particularly relevant.

The miniature is advertised as an edition of 402 pieces. That is a release figure, not a Muncle Mikes stock count or evidence that this is a one-of-one model.

ZL1 Drag Outlaws A1805737: choose the named theme

The black ZL1 Drag Outlaws Camaro is a separate 372-piece release. It lists a removable hood, opening doors and trunk, folding front seats, positionable wheels and wired and plumbed engine detail.

A removable hood changes how the model can be presented: the engine can be shown with the hood completely off the body rather than left attached in an open position. Leave a safe place for the removed part and follow the model's supplied instructions.

The listing does not specify the COPO's yellow houndstooth interior for this car. Do not transfer that distinctive feature merely because both offers use a black Camaro body.

Similar shelf size, different reason to buy

Both descriptions give approximate dimensions of 10 inches long, 4 wide and 3 high. Each combines diecast construction with plastic components and rubber tires. Those shared measurements make them candidates for the same shelf, but an open-door or hood-off arrangement needs more room than the closed car.

Buy the COPO when the documented wheel and interior combination is the attraction. Buy Drag Outlaws when that release's theme belongs with your drag models. A pair is useful for a version comparison, not because the two cars represent different model years.

Watch for the engine-only item codes

A1805736E and A1805737E are separate engine-and-transmission replicas. The final E matters: these accessories do not include the complete Camaro.

Check the full code, desired hood arrangement and current offer before ordering from the ACME collection at Muncle Mikes.
