AFX22073, AFX Collector Series Camaro 1970 1/64 Scale Slot Car (Black Wildfire) (LWB) (Mega G+)
Chevrolet's 1970s redesign of the Camaro, following the success of the '69 model, introduced the LT1 350 cubic inch engine, a significant upgrade from the previous year's 302. Derived from the Corvette, the LT1 in the Z28 proved to be a robust performer. Despite controversy surrounding its redesigned front-end and fastback shape, the SS350 remains highly regarded as one of GM's most beautiful designs. AFX Wild Fire Flames, while proprietary, draw inspiration from hot rod history, where the concept originated from literal flames captured in a photograph during a race in 1938. This sparked a trend that evolved into the expressive "nose art" of World War II aircraft, spreading rapidly through post-war America's booming hot rod and muscle car culture in the 1950s.
