2008 Hot Wheels ’69 Camaro M6978 — Metalflake blue-gray | Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

This is the regular Treasure Hunt version of the 2008 M6978 Camaro, number 12 of 12. The blue-gray body, black-and-white stripes and white flames are shared with the related Super Treasure Hunt, so wheel type is a key check: this version uses OH5 plastic wheels rather than Real Riders.

Physical and casting details

Metalflake blue-gray; black-and-white stripes; white flame graphics; OH5 wheels; black plastic base; clear windows; white interior; Malaysia.

Wheel type, base material, interior and window color are release-specific. Where an attribute is not listed above, this guide leaves it unassigned rather than carrying a specification over from another ’69 Camaro.

Packaging details

2008 Treasure Hunt series card, number 12/12. Compare the wheel type and package marking against the related Super Treasure Hunt.

When comparing a packaged example, check that the printed series and toy number agree with the car. A matching card helps confirm the release; it does not establish the condition of a loose example.

Collector notes

The strongest identification comes from the combination of finish, graphics, wheel style and the correct series or event markings. A shared casting name or toy number alone can lead to a mistaken match.
