Camaro Convertible — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

The Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible is the open-roof fourth-generation Camaro casting introduced in 1995. Its debut entry is collector number 344, toy number 13340, in the 1995 Model Series. The family includes variations in paint, wheel design, tampo, package and later return appearances.

Names vary across records and packaging, including “Camaro Convertible,” “’95 Camaro” and “’95 Camaro Convertible.” Identify an exact release by combining the casting shape with the year, code, wheels, decoration and original package context.

How to Identify This Casting

  1. Check the open-roof fourth-generation Camaro body. Do not confuse it with the separate ’67 or ’69 Camaro Convertible castings.
  2. For the 1995 debut, look for collector number 344 and toy number 13340 on the 1995 Model Series packaging.
  3. Compare finish and wheel style. Early MM records distinguish metalflake green examples with Ultra Hots, 5-spoke, 3-spoke and gold 7-spoke wheels, plus a red release.
  4. For later examples, match the exact year and catalog details in the linked record. Do not assign a package or wheel type based on body color alone.

Physical Details

The casting’s open roof and fourth-generation body shape are its clearest family identifiers. Across the linked records, wheel style, interior and windshield, paint, tampos and base details help distinguish individual issues.

Check for paint chips around the roof frame and wheel arches, worn printed graphics, bent axles, replaced wheels or repainting. Note modifications separately from original factory details.

Packaging and Release Context

The Camaro Convertible appears in the 1995 Model Series and later packs and specialty releases. The original card number and toy number help confirm the debut issue; later package names provide the context for multipack and special releases.

Keep original cards or pack information with a loose car’s record when available. A package label can resolve differences that are not obvious from a loose casting.

Collector Notes

Early green cars have multiple documented wheel versions, so “green Camaro Convertible” is not an exact variation description. Record the wheel face and any visible base or package markings.

Value Research

Research an exact release rather than assigning one value to the entire casting family. Match the toy code, finish, wheel type, decoration and package, then compare sales of the same issue in similar condition. Packaging, damage, missing parts, repainting and wheel changes can all affect a comparison.

This guide does not assign a price range. The release links above keep each variation’s identity separate for careful comparison.
