2018 Hot Wheels ’67 Camaro (Spectraflame Blue): Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
The Spectraflame Blue Camaro from the 32nd Annual Convention
This Spectraflame Blue ’67 Camaro is one of five dinner-car finishes catalogued for the 32nd Annual Hot Wheels Collectors Convention. Collector references report 120 examples in this color. It shares the ’67 Camaro casting with the year’s retail and collector releases, but its convention listing and finish distinguish it; no standard Mattel toy number is recorded.
What is the 2018 convention ’67 Camaro?
The 32nd Annual Hot Wheels Collectors Convention took place in Los Angeles in October 2018. Collector references list five ’67 Camaro dinner-car finishes: white (625), Spectraflame red (120), Spectraflame blue (120), Spectraflame antifreeze (120), and Spectraflame gold (60). This Spectraflame Blue entry is reported at 120 pieces.
The convention reference lists these dinner cars separately from the Mattel toy-numbered releases and assigns them no standard toy number. Their recorded identifiers are the ’67 Camaro casting, the 2018 event, and each car’s named finish.
The ’67 Camaro casting
The ’67 Camaro casting debuted in 1983 and was designed by Larry Wood. It has appeared across mainline, collector, and convention releases, with later tooling updates changing details such as the hood and base. The 2018 convention entry does not record enough physical specifications to identify a particular tooling revision.

Physical Details
The convention reference identifies this version by its Spectraflame Blue finish and reported quantity. It does not describe side graphics, wheels, windows, or the base; those physical features remain undocumented in the listing.
| What to examine | Collector detail |
|---|---|
| Body finish | Spectraflame Blue |
| Model | Hot Wheels ’67 Camaro casting |
| Catalog entry | 2018 convention · Code 3 dinner-car listing |
| Product number | No standard Mattel toy number listed for this Code 3 entry |
The catalog records color and quantity, but does not describe the car’s markings, wheels, windows, or base. Those details are not established by the published listing.
Packaging Details
The convention reference calls these Camaro versions dinner cars but does not document a standard card, blister, box, or display. Packaging shown with an individual car is part of that example’s provenance; it is not a published specification for the group.
For this group, the finish and convention listing are documented; a standard package is not. Any accompanying material belongs to the individual example’s history.
Buying & Value — Collector Reference
The reported counts range from 60 to 625, but issue quantity alone does not establish value. These convention dinner cars are separate from the carded 2018 retail Camaros, and the five finishes are distinct release entries.
Paint wear, wheel condition, scratches, and repainting affect the model’s condition. An accompanying display or event material may document provenance, although the convention reference does not define standard packaging for the release.
No price range is assigned here: the available references establish release identity and reported counts, not a dependable market valuation.
