2010 Hot Wheels ’10 Camaro SS R7499 C05: Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Casting Info: the 2010 R7499 C05 Camaro

In 2010 the ’10 Camaro SS appeared as R7499 in HW Garage, series position 6/10. This metalflake-grey version carries the Indianapolis 500 Centennial Era logo, red, white, blue and black side graphics, Chevy and Camaro logos, and painted tail lights. It has clear windows, a black interior, black plastic base, and black OH5 wheels with chrome rims.

Catalog records list C05, C12 and C16 as base codes for the grey release. Those codes document production runs; the rear license plate can also be found with or without a Hot Wheels logo. C10 is a different grey R7499 record with orange-tinted windows, so check the glazing and underside when distinguishing those entries.

R7499 is shared by multiple 2010 Camaro finishes. The red-orange car with white stripes and the electric-blue Walmart exclusive carry the same toy number. The grey body and Indianapolis markings are the clearest first check for this version.

Variation Summary

The C05 entry is the clear-window grey Indianapolis 500 release. The C10 record is also grey but has orange-tinted windows; the red-orange and electric-blue cars use different graphics and wheel details. Use the finish and decoration first, then compare windows, rims and base markings.

Physical Details

The grey body is decorated with Indianapolis 500 Centennial Era graphics and Camaro branding along the sides. The front and rear lamps are painted. Clear windows show the black interior, and the black base carries the country and production marks.

The wheels are black OH5s with chrome rims. The C05, C12 and C16 codes are recorded on grey examples; some cars also differ in whether the rear license plate has a Hot Wheels logo. These small underside or rear details refine identification but do not change the main grey Indy 500 release description.

On a loose car, inspect the side graphics and tail-light paint for rubs, the chrome rims for paint loss, and the clear windows for scratches. Compare the window tint before grouping a grey example with C10.

Packaging Details

The carded reference shows the grey R7499 on the US HW Garage card. The collector number is 074/240, and the series position is 6/10. The card art and the car’s red-and-blue Indy graphics support the identification, while the blister lets you check the wheel rims and interior.

Card photos do not show the underside base code or reliably reveal the rear license plate logo. For a sealed car, identify the grey Indy 500 decoration and record the package condition separately; for an opened example, inspect the base to distinguish C05, C12 or C16 and check the rear plate detail.
