Hot Wheels Firebird Racer / Camaro Wind — Color FX · toy 11044
Toy 11044 appears in Color FX records under different casting names and release years. The model and year need to be read from the matching package, not inferred from this page’s handle.
Overview
The available catalogs connect toy 11044 with the Color FX Race Cars two-pack. One record names the vehicle Camaro Wind and dates it to 1993; another identifies Firebird Racer in a 1992 Color FX set. A separate pack guide assigns the set to 1994. The toy number and Color FX connection are consistent, but the year and exact casting label conflict.
Casting and identification
Use the Color FX two-pack number 11044 and compare the car’s color-change finish with an original package. Do not use the 1993 year in this page handle as proof of the release date.

Frequently asked questions
Is this definitely a 1993 Camaro Wind?

What is established about toy 11044?
Collector sources connect it to a Color FX Race Cars two-pack and the related Firebird Racer / Camaro Wind casting lineage.
Which name should go on a collection record?
Copy the name and date from the original package. Keep Firebird Racer and Camaro Wind as catalog aliases until that package is checked.
