2016 Hot Wheels ’16 Camaro SS DYW76 — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
DYW76 is the yellow Matt Mingay Australian-exclusive issue of the Hot Wheels ’16 Camaro SS. Blue striping, white stars and sponsor graphics set it apart from the blue and red Muscle Mania releases. The toy number and special-edition name identify the release; the casting name by itself does not.
Overview
The ’16 Camaro SS casting debuted in 2016. DYW76 uses a yellow body with blue racing stripes, star details and sponsor artwork. Its black MC5 wheels with chrome-red rims and clear windows help distinguish it from other versions when the package is missing.

How to Identify This Release
Look for a yellow ’16 Camaro SS with blue striping, white star details, Hot Wheels side logos and sponsor graphics on the top and sides. The toy number is DYW76. The Matt Mingay Australian-exclusive label separates it from the two 2016 Muscle Mania cars, DHP14 and DHX40.
On a carded example, read the code and special-edition marking. On a loose car, compare the yellow finish, graphic placement, clear windows and black MC5 wheels with chrome-red rims.

Physical Details
The sixth-generation Camaro shape is shared across the family, so the DYW76 decoration matters more than the body silhouette. Check the blue stripe edges, star details and sponsor tampo for rub, especially on the hood, roof and sides. Inspect the wheel faces and clear glazing separately from the paint.
Packaging Details
DYW76 is cataloged as the Matt Mingay Australian special edition. A carded example helps establish that release context; a loose example should be matched by its toy number, yellow body and graphic layout. Record card and blister wear separately from the condition of the car.
Casting History
The ’16 Camaro SS joined the Hot Wheels line in 2016. DYW76 is the yellow special-edition issue from that year, alongside blue and red Muscle Mania versions. Later releases move through Camaro Fifty, 50th Anniversary Camaro, HW Speed Graphics and Halloween themes.
The 2021 GRR19 and 2023 HLJ88 share a similar purple skull-themed appearance. Their package markings and toy numbers are the useful release-level distinctions.
Value Research
Compare DYW76 examples with the same release code and condition. For loose cars, check the yellow finish, sponsor graphics, wheels and glazing; for carded examples, include card and blister condition. Do not treat asking prices or a different ’16 Camaro SS variation as a completed-sale match.
