I just found the Welly 1:18 Camaro SS in your color @ KBtoys... $16.99
I bought it!
I have not even seen that color listed on any diecast site yet.
Its gorgeous...
Hopefully they will do LPM next...that way I won't have to strip and paint one my color!

I've been looking for a navy blue 4.5 gen SS as well. Maybe there will be someone selling them on an internet site to order from.

He he.... I have a soft spot for Camaro diecast. Now one could say that real cars are a waste of money too! Posts: 700 | From: Fighting the Nazis of the world..... | Registered: Jul 2002

Hello all, I read this post last night. I went to the nut house (the mall) this morning. I checked in KB and there was 3 new Wellys Camaro SS.
1 NBM, 1 Black, 1 LE
I already have 2 LEs. One for shows and one for home display. If a club member wants any of these for their personal use, LMK. Please respond only if you intend on keeping the model for yourself.

Well...interesting that you should bring that up. If you look at an original 1968 Camaro Sales Brochure like the one pictured (sorry, best pic I could come up with) its the same way. Did early production see some of the cars built this way? My car was an early production car. Thats the way it came when I got her...I almost switched it to the "Camaro" script from pressure of others when I painted her. I decided not to mess with the car...restored her the way I got her. I have seen a couple other photos that represent this same thing. Is it wrong? I don't know... Was it a running producton change? I don't know...
I like it because it makes it unique! ...and when people point out that its wrong....I whip out the original sales brochure and say "is it?"

Im not the original owner...im the fourth. The 2nd and 3rd owners kept selling it back and forth to eachother. I have quite a bit of paperwork on it. She had original paint and original interior when I bought her. She was a loaded un-molested car with everything but powerwindows. The only big changes when I got her were the tranny was changed to a TH400 from the powerglide and front discs were added...which is what I would have done anyway.
If its a fake...its a damn good one. At this point... I really don't care. When I restored her, she got an un-original color and I even painted the back panel satin black (ala the big blocks) even though she is not a 396.
I love her and will NEVER part with her.

That was for 327/210 and 275 hp motors
U have a pic of the motor compartment ?
Hmmmmm...my sources say the TH400 was only available with the 396 325-350 HP (L34 & L35). Right on the sales information and in Camaro White Book it shows available trannies for the 295HP Turbo-Fire 350 V8. The Powerglide (M35) is the only available auto for the 350 SS.
Also check the info at CRG Camaro Research Group which is a goldmine of data.
