Physical Details

The M1542 finish is metalflake or bright red, with a black roof and stripes and silver Camaro lettering. It has a black interior, redline blackwall wheels and a Thailand base. Use the series number with the paint and roof graphics to distinguish it from similar red Camaros.

Packaging Details

Collector FAQs

2008 ’67 Camaro Collector FAQs

How do I identify an exact release?

Match the printed toy code and series with body color, graphics, wheel face and base. A similar color by itself is not enough.

Why are some pages color-only?

The MM catalog row records a color but does not map it to a specific series, toy number or wheel configuration. Those details remain open until verified.
