Casting Info
GTC53 casting and release identity
GTC53 is the gold ’67 Camaro in the 2021 HW Dream Garage mainline. It carries subseries position 4/5 and mainline number 110/250, the same package numbers used by the related GRY12 and GTD32 colors. The GTC53 code is the clearest way to separate this gold version. Its package numbering is shared by the other 2021 Dream Garage Camaro colors, so the code and body finish should be checked together.
Mattel’s annual collector number identifies the mainline release, while 4/5 marks the position in the HW Dream Garage subset. The code GTC53 identifies this specific color and distribution record.
How to Identify
How to identify GTC53
- Start with the gold body and the world wide / optimism-themed dream garage graphics.
- Check for mc5 black wheels with red chrome rim details.
- Read the GTC53 code on the base or package; 4/5 and 110/250 alone do not distinguish the three colors.
- For GTD32, check the Dollar General distribution note; for GRY12 and GTC53, match the white or gold body to the code.
Gold body, HW Dream Garage graphics, MC5 wheels with red rim details, and GTC53 printed on the base or card.
