Back to the Camaro Casting Index

This international-line turquoise 5138 has blue, yellow and white Z-28/Camaro graphics and no hood tampo. Its chrome Hot Ones wheels set it apart from the Ultra Hots and Blackwall versions.

Casting Info

This release retains the original Blown Camaro body, including its raised blower and sunroof. Mattel retooled the Camaro in 1992; the retooled body has a smooth hood and no sunroof.

Compare the hood and roof shape with the original blower-equipped release before filing this car under the Blown Camaro name. The wheel design and side graphics identify this particular 1992 issue.

Variation Details

This international-line turquoise 5138 has blue, yellow and white Z-28/Camaro graphics and no hood tampo. Its chrome Hot Ones wheels set it apart from the Ultra Hots and Blackwall versions.

Physical Details

For a loose car, inspect the hood profile, roof opening and side exhausts, then record paint chips, tampo wear, wheel condition and base markings. These observations help identify which tooling is present and prevent wear or replacement parts from being mistaken for a factory variation.

Packaging Details

This 5138 is listed as an international-line 1992 mainline release. Keep it separate from the 1988–1990 5138s by comparing the hood decoration and wheel type.

Condition & Value Research

Compare only examples with the same confirmed release and similar condition. Record loose-car wear separately from card or blister condition. This guide does not assign a price without a completed sale for a verified match.
