2010 Hot Wheels ’10 Camaro SS R7499 C10: Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Casting Info: the 2010 R7499 C10 Camaro

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

The grey clear-window version shares the same main decoration and wheel treatment. The orange tint and C10 base code separate this record. Catalog tables list C05, C12 and C16 for the clear-window grey release, while C10 is the orange-window version. R7499 is shared by several other 2010 finishes, so the toy number alone does not identify this car.

The casting name refers to the Hot Wheels tooling, which debuted in 2009. This grey C10 is a 2010 release; 6/10 is its HW Garage position and 074/240 is the US annual collector number.

Variation Summary

Both grey Indianapolis 500 cars share the same main tampo design and black interior. C10 has orange-tinted windows; the C05/C12/C16 records are listed with clear windows. Red-orange and electric-blue R7499 cars have different body colors and graphics.

Physical Details

The body is metalflake grey. Indianapolis 500 Centennial Era graphics, Camaro and Chevy logos, and painted tail lights cover the sides and ends. The orange tint is visible in the windows, while the interior remains black. Black OH5 wheels with chrome rims and a black plastic base complete the casting.

Turn the car over to check its country and molded base marks; C10 is associated with the orange-window record. Do not identify this as the C05/C12/C16 version based on the grey body or graphics alone—the clear versus orange-tinted glazing is the key visible difference.

For a loose example, inspect the orange tint for scratches or clouding, and check the side graphics, tail lights and chrome rims for wear. The small C10 code can confirm the variation when the underside is accessible.

Packaging Details

The secondary image shows the grey R7499 on its US HW Garage blister card. The annual collector number is 074/240 and the series position is 6/10. This card reference documents the package family; the loose photo is the clearer view for checking the orange window tint.

Card condition and blister clarity are separate from the car’s condition. For a sealed example, compare the car’s glazing through the blister if the view is clear. For an opened example, inspect the windows directly and check the base code.
