1990 Hot Wheels Blown Camaro Z-28 — Turquoise, Gold Hot Ones Wheels | Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Back to the Camaro Casting Index

The 1990 turquoise Blown Camaro Z-28 (#5138) pairs blue, yellow and white Z-28/Camaro graphics with blue-tinted windows, a gray interior and Gold Hot Ones wheels. This page covers the Gold Hot Ones version made in Malaysia.

Casting Info

This release uses the original Blown Camaro Z-28 tooling: a raised blower through the hood, a sunroof opening and side-exit exhausts. Mattel’s 1992 retool removed the blower and sunroof and was renamed the ’80s Camaro.

The turquoise paint and Z-28/Camaro graphics identify the 1990 release; the Gold Hot Ones wheels separate this car from the Ultra Hots and Blackwall versions.

Variation Details

This variation combines blue-tinted windows and a gray interior with Gold Hot Ones (GHO) wheels. Compare it with the turquoise Ultra Hots and Blackwall versions before identifying a loose car.
