Hot Wheels ’67 Camaro FTX86 (2018): Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Casting Info: 2018 FTX86

FTX86 is a 2018 release of Hot Wheels’ ’67 Camaro casting, first introduced in 1983. Its opening hood sets it apart from the fixed-hood mainline version used on later releases.

The Originals series leans into early Hot Wheels styling: Spectraflame Aqua paint, a black roof and hood-and-trunk stripes, anniversary door graphics, and RL2 redline-style wheels. The card’s 3/5 mark and collector button place it in the five-car set.

The retro presentation is part of the tribute. FTX86 itself remains a modern commemorative model produced in 2018, not an original 1968 Redline.

Variation Summary

The aqua finish, black roof, anniversary door emblem, and RL2 wheels give FTX86 its distinctive Originals look. Collectors may see the body color described as aqua or blue; both names refer to this release.

The white FKV71 is in the separate 50th Anniversary Camaro series; the gold FVJ36 is the Black and Gold chase. Their shared casting name does not make them the same 2018 release.

Physical Details

The Spectraflame Aqua body takes on a different look under bright light, especially against the black roof and hood-and-trunk stripes. Anniversary graphics sit on the doors. RL2 redline-style wheels echo early Hot Wheels design, while the modern side emblems and release number keep this car rooted in 2018.

FTX86 has an opening hood, a metal body and base, blue-tinted windows, and a light-blue interior. The hinge is a real casting detail, but it can be delicate on a worn example. On a loose FTX86, inspect the black roof and hood stripes for chips, check the RL2 wheel edges for wear, and look for an even hood fit.

Packaging Details

The 50th Anniversary Originals card marks FTX86 as 3/5 and includes a collector button. Its retro artwork recalls early Hot Wheels packaging, while the anniversary badge and series number identify the later commemorative release.

On a carded copy, the button is part of the presentation. Card edges, hanging tab, blister clarity, and whether the button remains with the package each affect how complete the example is. The car’s paint and wheels are separate from card and blister condition.

Buying & Value — Collector Reference

FTX86 is a specific 2018 Originals release, not a catch-all for aqua or blue ’67 Camaros. Its FTX86 number, 3/5 position, Spectraflame Aqua finish, RL2 wheels, and package button keep comparisons focused on the same issue.

Loose examples are judged by paint and stripe wear, wheel condition, base details, and how the opening hood sits. Carded copies add the card, blister, and button. Keeping those condition details separate makes a completed sale easier to compare fairly.

Recent completed sales of FTX86 in similar condition provide a more useful reference than asking prices or other blue Camaro releases.

Release Context

The 2018 50th Anniversary Originals set paired five Spectraflame cars with collector buttons and retro card styling. FTX86 occupies position 3/5 as the ’67 Camaro entry.

The aqua body and RL2 wheels call back to early Hot Wheels color and wheel design. The anniversary emblem, modern base details, and 2018 series number make the timing clear: this is a tribute to the 1968 launch of Hot Wheels, released fifty years later.
