Hot Wheels ’14 COPO Camaro: Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
Hot Wheels 1:64 · COPO Camaro · 2014 release group
This guide brings together three 2014 COPO Camaro entries cataloged at 229/250: white BDC72, red BFG68 and Zamac BFG78. Each release has its own identifier and linked record. The BFG68 name is treated carefully because collector references differ on whether it is called the ’13 or ’14 COPO Camaro.

Casting IdentificationUse the toy code and finish together to separate the three 2014 records.
Official Identification: 2014 COPO Camaro Releases
The 2014 catalog records contain three COPO Camaro entries at 229/250. BDC72 is the white Then and Now release; BFG78 is the Zamac Then and Now release; BFG68 is the red release, whose name is inconsistent across references. The code, paint or bare-metal finish, stripes and packaging should be read together.
The ’13 COPO Camaro guide covers its separately defined 2015–2024 release group. It does not include these 2014 records.
Variation SummaryFollow the linked web to compare all three cataloged 2014 releases.
Variation Summary
These three records share the 2014 COPO Camaro release context and collector number, but differ in toy code, finish and decoration. BDC72 is white with blue stripes; BFG68 is red with black stripes; BFG78 is Zamac with orange stripes and appears in the Walmart Zamac series.
Naming note: The Mattel Hot Wheels Newsletter’s 2014 catalog labels BFG68 as ’14 COPO Camaro; the South Texas Diecast 2014 checklist labels it ’13 COPO Camaro. This guide preserves that discrepancy rather than treating one name as settled. Both references list BDC72 and BFG78 as ’14 COPO Camaro.
Physical DetailsCompare body finish and graphics before relying on a shared collector number.
Physical Details
The best release-level checks are the paint or Zamac body, stripe color and toy number. Check the hood, both sides and trunk for the full graphic layout. A carded reference can confirm the package and series but should not replace inspection of a loose car’s base and decoration.
Use the individual release pages for the documented wheel, base and country details. Do not infer a wheel variation from a photograph that does not show both axles clearly.
Packaging DetailsPackaging identifies the release context when finish alone is not enough.
Packaging Details
BDC72 and BFG68 appear in the 2014 Then and Now context; BFG78 is the Zamac entry. For a packaged example, record the card name, toy code and series wording together. For a loose example, preserve those package details separately from the car’s visible condition.
Casting Name History
Casting Name History
Hot Wheels catalogs use both ’14 and ’13 COPO Camaro labels around the 2014 releases. The 2014 BFG68 entry is the point where references diverge: the Mattel newsletter lists ’14, while the South Texas Diecast checklist labels the red BFG68 ’13. This page keeps the discrepancy visible and uses toy codes to distinguish the records.
Condition and Value
Condition and Value
For a loose casting, inspect the paint or Zamac surface, stripe wear, wheel condition, axles, base and glass. For carded examples, also note card bends, blister cracks, price stickers and whether the package remains sealed.
Compare completed sales only after matching BDC72, BFG68 or BFG78 and the correct package or loose condition. No single current value is assigned here.
