Blackout 1977 or Silver 1979?
Two late-second-generation Camaro Z28 models arrive in 1:64 scale with limited-edition status, rubber tires and dramatically different personalities.
Compare the Camaros Shop IXO CamarosFor collectors searching for an IXO Camaro Z28 1:64 diecast model in the USA, these releases make the decision wonderfully difficult. The 1977 model is dark, restrained and menacing; the 1979 version uses silver metallic paint, stripe graphics and a red interior for a brighter late-1970s performance look.
One generation, two very different moods
The second-generation Chevrolet Camaro ran through the 1970s with a low roof, long hood and fastback-inspired profile. By 1977, the Z28 name had returned to the lineup, while the 1979 car carried the design deeper into the era of bold stripes, spoilers and high-contrast interiors.
IXO translates that shared shape into two compact models that are approximately three inches long. Both use a diecast metal body and chassis, real rubber tires, chrome accents, detailed interiors and officially licensed graphics. The official IXO America car catalog lists both IA64023 and IA64024 as current 1:64 Camaro releases.
Meet the IXO Camaro Z28 pair
1977 Camaro Z28 in Black
Black paint and stripe graphics make the 1977 Z28 the tougher-looking version of the pair. The finish visually lowers the car, while chrome accents give the nose, wheels and trim just enough contrast.
SKU: IA64023

1979 Camaro Z28 in Silver
Silver metallic paint, stripe graphics and a red interior make the 1979 release the more colorful choice. Lighter paint also reveals more of the Camaro’s fender shapes, spoiler treatment and late-1970s detailing.

Which Camaro belongs in your collection?
Choose the 1977 Z28 for a darker muscle-car shelf
The black version pairs naturally with street machines, sinister colorways and other performance cars that rely on stance rather than bright paint to make an impression.
Choose the 1979 Z28 for contrast and interior color
Silver metallic shows more body definition, while the red interior creates a visible point of contrast through the glass. It is the more visually animated model of the two.
Choose both for a late-1970s Camaro mini-set
Because the years, finishes and interior presentations differ, the pair avoids feeling repetitive. They work particularly well beside our earlier 1976 Camaro Rally Sport spotlight, creating a three-car IXO Camaro story.
