Camaro Wind

This casting was designed by Larry Wood in 1984 for the 1985-86 Flip Outs Carded Series. The casting had two names in the series. They were Flipper Snapper and Road Flipper. About 1990, this casting was released in the California Customs Series with a modified metal chassis and was called Firebird. In 1997, it was renamed Camaro Wind and this has become the name most used for the casting by collectors. Despite what the name suggests the casting actually uses a Pontiac Firebird body.
