 This RS/SS 396 Camaro has all the bells and whistles you could ask for (unless you asked Don Yenko). Disappearing headlamps, chin spoiler, functioning hood vents, cool graphics and the 375 hp 396 cid Turbo-Jet V8.

Great pics, as usual, rich. Do the headlight doors open?

@jkuvakas Well, this is embarrassing. Two things I've forgotten: 1.) whether they open (with the separated panels, it sure looks like they do). 2.) where I put the #$!@*!! model. My collection got away from me years ago. Finding certain models now would require an archaeological dig. That model sat open on my coffee table for years until I gave it a good cleaning and put it away... somewhere.

Hey guys, the headlights do NOT open on these 1/18 Exact Detail 1968 Camaros, they are inoperable.

That's too bad...I would have guessed that they did.  Great looking Camaro, regardless.  I had Ertl Authentics '67 & have H61's '69, but skipped a '68.

It looks superb ! This Chevy Camaro was such a good-looking pony car.

On one of my 1970 Mercury Cougars from Welly, this is behind the grille. I don't think the headlight doors open at all, but it is an interesting feature.

@mikedetorrice That IS interesting...that they would replicate that, despite not having opening headlight doors. But it's VERY COOL to see that detail under the hood! 😀

HA! I skipped this '68 too but because of the dog-leg door hinges. 😏

I have a 1967 Yenko Camaro with hidden headlights and a 1968 Camaro with hidden headlights both from Lane Exact Detail and neither one is operational. I also have the 1969 Camaro from the Highway 61 mold and it as well has hidden headlight but they are not operational.

@100ford2003 Valve Stem porn for you Steve.

Highway61 really did nail this rim with the detail they put into it.
