Chevrolet Camaro 1981 custom hot wheels

This '81 Camaro is set up for bracket racing. Fun fact: Brendon's first car was a silver '78 Camaro. Also, in the late 1990's took one of his cars to Englishtown where is was assigned the number 8927. From the back of the 2012 card: Born: 1981 Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan, USA Designer: General Motors Specialty: Modified for racing, this Camaro® features a big block race engine, open header exhaust, extra wide drag slicks, lightweight race seat, and fiberglass hood. It was made to get you anywhere fast! The 1981 model was nearly unchanged from 1980 and would be the last model year for the second-generation Camaro. The Z28 was still powered by a 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8, however due to new emissions regulations the engine was now equipped with a CCC (Computer Command Control) unit for the first time. This predecessor to modern engine control modules had an oxygen sensor, an electronically controlled carburetor, a throttle position sensor, coolant sensors, a barometric pressure sensor, a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (MAP), and a check engine light on the dash. The transmission was now equipped with a lockup torque converter, controlled by the CCC as well. The CCC could also be used as a self-diagnostic tool. However, as the goal of this change was strictly emissions reduction, horsepower dropped to 175 hp (130 kW; 177 PS). This engine was now only available with an automatic transmission, while the four-speed manual versions had the 165 hp (123 kW; 167 PS) 305 cu in (5.0 L), which was the only engine offered in Z28s sold in California. Canadian models, however, could still get the 350 and 4-speed combination, and were not equipped with a CCC. Canadian 1981 Camaros were thus identical to 1980 US model. RS models were dropped this year, but the RS designation would reappear in 1989. Total production had dropped down to 126,139 from a high of 282,571 in 1979.
