Inside the cockpit, the Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Camaro wraps the driver and occupants in jet black leather with orange inserts and stitching. Orange door pads and seat belts and embossed front seat headrests are part of the package too. Hot Wheels badging on the steering wheel and doorsill plates also adorn the car along with premium carpet floor mats that have orange stitching.
If you have any old Hot Wheels collectible kicking around they are valuable too. A Hot Wheels Custom Camaro was one of Mattel’s first releases in 1968. The first 1968 Hot Wheels Camaro was White Enamel and is now valued at about $2,500 U.S. Hot Wheels is also releasing a series of 50th Anniversary 1/64 scale Camaro diecast toy cars to mark the anniversary. - SST CAR SHOW NEWS.
