Casting History
Casting History
The casting debuted in 2000, representing a customized 1968 Chevrolet El Camino. The original tool features a rear-mounted engine and wing; collector catalogs distinguish later engine, wing and covered-bed forms. The 2007 HWC version uses premium metal construction and an opening hood, while later basic retools use a plastic base. These features must be checked on each edition rather than transferred between releases.
Research limitations: Original exposed rear-engine/wing version; nominal scale is unchanged. Factory/date-code subvariants require inspection of the actual car and packaging.

'68 El Camino — Frequently Asked Questions
Collector FAQs
Which details separate one release from another?
Compare the casting name with the year, toy number, finish, graphics, wheels and package markings shown for that version.
Does the copyright year on the base always match the release year?
No. The base copyright can predate the year a particular color or package appeared. Use the release markings and packaging together.
What should I inspect on a loose example?
Check the paint, printed graphics, wheel faces and base for wear or damage. Those details help compare condition between examples.
What does the carded photograph show?
It documents the package design and the car as sold. Loose-car photos are shown separately when an exact view is available.
