22k Original Miles/6.2 Liter SFI V8/Beautiful Leather/Performance Suspension

2011 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe

Hot Wheels was first introduced in 1968 to the toy industry during NEW YORK TOY FAIR. Hot Wheels' birthday is celebrated on MAY 18 and the first Hot Wheels car off the line was a dark blue CUSTOM CAMARO. Over 6 BILLION Hot Wheels have been produced since 1968. 16.5 Hot Wheels are produced EVERY SECOND, and in the US the average kid owns 50 hot wheels. Who says America is not in love with cars?

For consignment a real 2011 Camaro, 43 years after the first Hot wheel's car came off the line in the form of a dark blue Custom Camaro. This is the real deal, with a performance suspension, Brembo brakes, a heads-up display, and a short throw Hurst shifter, among many upgrades. A car that eats Mustangs, right here at Classic Auto Mall ready for the taking!

Exterior
With a mere 22,962 original miles, this beauty is bathed in Red Jewel Tintcoat and shines like a crazy diamond. Adding more bling are the side by side white stripes that race each other up the dual scooped hood and continue the contest on the trundled ending in a tie on the rear spoiler. This car looks great from the front with its bad ass pointy front grille design to the deep inset single headlights, integrated bumper, and fog lights, and don't forget the gold bowtie leading the way. Steel panels are all nice and straight and mind their gaps very well. Looking at the profile the aero design continues with the swept back windshield and oversized polished 5 spoke 20-inch wheels. A racer ready to take on the orange track with its banked curves and looper.

Interior
A swing of the doors and I feel like I'm viewing the 2011 version of the Millennium Flacon with even the door panels giving me the aero design feel, all integrated and smooth lines here. Turning our attention to the passenger compartment, we can slip in dual sporty designed buckets, covered in black leather with white stitching. No fooling around here as the seats just grab me as I buckle up and open the sunroof and get ready to roll. The futuristic Buck Rogers in the 21st century continues with the dash, in particular the instrument cluster which plays on the deep set dual gauge cluster of early days of the Camaro, but takes it a step up by wrapping them with rectangular bezels and a center digital odometer and info display. Seen also is a heads-up display, and a premium Boston Acoustics audio system. In the center a nicely designed console drops down form the dash, and houses a 4-gauge cluster in the front, short throw Hurst shifter and glovebox. As it makes its way past the buckets, it ends abruptly at the 2+2 leather covered rear seats.

Drivetrain
Just like driving through the little house in the middle of the orange track with its spinning wheels, we are thrown into hyperdrive with the hefty 6.2 Liter SFI V8 with puts out a whopping 426hp. This mill is fed by electronic fuel injection and a 6-speed manual TR6060 transmission, which throws power back to a 3.45 axle.

Undercarriage
Underneath it does not say “Made By Mattel” but it does say all clean and green, with no rust, structural sound steel, a limited slip differential, and performance suspension. Also noted are Brembo disc brakes all around.

Drive-Ability
Like 2 kids taking our new car out of its blister pack my partner in crime and I took this car out for a spin and we were not disappointed. Like new condition, it started right up, and we were off. Plenty of power, the short throw shifter is nice, and we went through the gears effortlessly. Good handling with the performance suspension. and all is in good working condition.

Just like a favorite toy this consigner took very good care after playing with it, to put it back in its garage, all buttoned up un till the next time to play. Beautiful jewel tint on the outside, and nice supple leather on the inside, all with futuristic design, and plenty of conveniences. Take me to hyperdrive!
