1970 Chevy Camaro Z-28 - Metallic Blue (Ertl) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
"Good things come to those who wait," and muscle car lovers who waited for the February '70 introduction of the second-generation Chevrolet Camaro were glad they did. Retaining only the 108" wheelbase of its predecessor, the design was all new, and the baddest of the bunch came dressed in the Z/28 performace package. Its new 350 cid. LT-1 engine - designed for racing in the SCCA Trans Am Series - could eclipse the 1/4-mile in 14.2 seconds. The Z/28 model also treated buyers to special instrumentation, dual exhaust, black-painted grille, special hood and rear-deck stripes and Z/28 emblems on the grille, front fenders and rear deck lid. When high-horsepower output was becoming a thing of the past due to strict crash and emission regulations, the second generation '73 Chevy Z28 remained the lone performance Camaro. Under its hood, the 350 V8 engine performed admirably, although its power was decreased with the switch from hydraulic to solid lifters. The car maintained its rugged appearance and - although it was unheard of during the muscle car era - air conditioning was available for the Z-28 for the first time.

The Chevrolet Camaro launched for 1967 as direct competition to the Ford Mustang. First-generation Camaros (1967–1969) are the most collected, particularly the 1969 ZL1 — a racing homologation special with an all-aluminum 427 cubic inch engine, of which only 69 were built. The COPO Camaros and Z/28 Trans Am race cars of the late 1960s defined an era of factory-built muscle car performance.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1970 Chevrolet Camaro in Blue, Metallic is produced by Ertl to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
