Condition and value

Compare completed sales for this same release and similar condition. Look at paint and graphic wear, wheel condition, base wear, and whether the package remains intact. Event and themed-series cars should be compared with the same release rather than a general ’67 Camaro listing; this guide does not assign a price range.

Collector questions

How can I tell this car apart from other 2011 Camaros?

Use the toy number, series placement, paint, graphics, and wheel style together. A close color match alone is not enough to identify a release.

Does every 2011 ’67 Camaro belong to the mainline?

No. These pages cover releases from themed series, a convention dinner, a racing series, and other programs as well as standard retail lines.

What should I check on a carded example?

Compare the package series and number with the car inside, then inspect card and blister condition separately.
