Identify the blue-chrome Racing Metals Camaro
Racing Metals was a four-car 1995 mainline mini-series; the Camaro was number three. Its series name identifies the release, not a guarantee of chase-car rarity. Series catalog.
| Body finish | Light blue chrome |
|---|---|
| Series / item | Racing Metals 3 of 4 / 13325 |
| Base | Gray plastic; Malaysia manufacture |
| Interior / windows | White / clear |
| Wheels | Five-spoke, abbreviated 5SP |
| Decoration | Red, white and yellow racing graphics; Hot Wheels logo and number 1 |
| Roof variation | Examples with and without Jack Baldwin lettering are cataloged |
The model belongs to the ’93 Camaro casting family, also cataloged under Chevrolet ACC Camaro and Camaro Race Car names. It has a metal body and plastic base, interior and glazing. Casting and variation study.
Blue chrome is not the same release as blue metallic
The earlier blue #242 race car and the red #262 are separate entries in the casting history. Their details should not be copied into a #338 description. The roof-name variation is documented, but a missing name alone does not establish an untouched factory example: inspect the surrounding finish for wear or alteration.
For a year-specific purchase, request the complete package front and back, plus clear roof and underside photographs. For a loose shelf display, decide how much exact package attribution matters to you before comparing asking prices.

Prefer a personalized finish instead of preserving a vintage factory car? This 2010 Camaro Pro Stock DIY kit is a different casting and an unfinished project—not a Racing Metals #338.

A stripped, ready-to-paint Hot Wheels project. Choose your finish and complete the assembly. Review the listing’s included components; custom wheels, paint and tools are separate purchases unless expressly included.
See photos and current priceInspect the finish before paying a premium
Ask for photographs in diffuse light, including the hood, roof, sides and rear spoiler. Look for scratches, chipped edges, worn graphics and disclosed touch-ups. A bright reflection can conceal damage; a second angle is more useful than a blanket “mint” description.
Inspect all four wheels and ask whether the car has been opened or fitted with replacement parts. Keep a documented variation, ordinary wear and an aftermarket custom as separate categories. Do not assume that a shiny finish or unusual-looking shade proves a factory rarity.
Loose or carded: compare like with like
A loose car exposes more inspection angles. A sealed example adds package evidence but requires checking the blister, hanger and card corners. Ask about lifting, cracks or resealing, and describe the package separately from the car’s condition.
Research value using dated completed sales of comparable examples, not the historical price column in a casting catalog. Match condition, roof decoration, wheels and packaging format, and account for shipping. This guide does not assign a current price range or promise a higher resale value for one variation.

Which number identifies the Racing Metals release?
Collector #338 and item 13325. The four-car series lists the Camaro as its third model.
Does missing roof lettering prove a rare variation?
No. Compare the documented configuration and the surrounding condition. Wear or modification must not be confused with a factory difference.
Is the kit pictured here a vintage #338?
No. It is a separately offered 2010 Camaro Pro Stock project that you finish yourself.

Make the Hot Wheels Camaro Racer record reproducible
For this article, verify Racing Metals before calling the Camaro finish chrome by matching series, collector number and graphics. Use a fixed photo order—front or package, both sides, wheels and underside—so two examples can be compared without relying on seller shorthand.
The linked DIY Camaro is a separate project; the club excludes wheels, tires and axles. Record uncertainty directly rather than converting a partial match into a factory, rarity or value claim.
