Timothy Adry Emmanuel, the digital artist behind the virtual build, started off with a 1969 Camaro. However, you can't see the aggressive styling cues introduced for the said model year, which dramatically changed the appearance of the muscle car.
Only the original taillights will tell you this is the said Chevy model, with the idea of the digital build being to introduce a radical look, not unlike that of the Twin Mill. We're talking about what is probably the most popular Hot Wheels car, which was introduced back in 1969 and made for the company's first in-house design (as opposed to more or less modded cars from the real world).
