This version of this diecast should be released any time now. I haven't seen it in person but if it's like the previous versions it will be o-k. The rear spoiler could have been a lot better. Franklin Mint just released a 1970 Camaro and their rear spoiler and the rest of the car is real nice.

Those will be released in November 2005, more late November. The color that photo shows is actually kinda on the bland side. The actual vehicle willbe a much more red in color. I will have new photos of that one late this week after we rework our American Muscle page. But yes, should be a nice one.

If that Franklin Mint is a 70 Camaro They've got the wrong rear spoiler on it.....

The 70's had a short stubby spoiler...............

Shame on you Franklin Mint....................

Especially for the prices you get.............

Actually, COPO 9796 became avalible on April 26, 1970. but due to quality problems production did not get going until late May. COPO 9796 is what got you the 3 piece high spoiler in 1970. Without COPO 9796, you would get the short one piece rear spoiler.
