2022 Hot Wheels ’10 Camaro SS HFV89: Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Casting Info: the 2022 HFV89 release

HFV89 is the 2022 release-table number for this version of Hot Wheels’ ’10 Camaro SS. It appeared in Mystery Models Series 2 as car 3 of 10. The series position identifies the release more clearly than the general casting name: this is the red Beach Patrol Camaro, not another ’10 Camaro SS with police or rescue markings.

The model is built from the police-car variation of the casting, with a molded roof light bar and a gray front push bar. Its candy-red body, blue glazing, white-and-yellow striping and yellow-edged PR5 wheels give this release its own look in a casting family that has used several public-safety themes.

Variation Summary

All four use the ’10 Camaro SS police-car body. Check the side graphics and wheel style together: “Beach Patrol” and yellow-edged PR5s belong to the 2022 Mystery Models car.

Physical Details

The body is a deep candy red with a white pair of stripes on the hood and sides, each edged with narrow yellow lines. “Patrol” spans the windshield banner, while “Beach Patrol” fills the door graphic. The blue-tinted windows and matching translucent roof light bar stand out against the red body.

A gray interior sits above the black plastic base. The front push bar is gray and molded as part of the base assembly. Black five-spoke PR5 wheels carry a thin yellow ring around the face; that yellow rim is an especially useful clue when comparing this car with other police versions of the same casting.

The Hot Wheels Newsletter identifies the country of manufacture as Malaysia. The photographed casting shows the series’ red, white and yellow Beach Patrol treatment clearly; small production marks and base codes should be checked on the individual car.

Packaging Details

The 2022 Mystery Models cars came in partially blind bags. A small clear opening could reveal part of the vehicle, while the series artwork and numbered position tied it to the ten-car assortment. This Camaro is Series 2, #3/10.

Because the release was bagged rather than sold on a conventional blister card, a sealed example should be described as bagged or unopened. Check that the package artwork and #3 position match the car, then inspect the bag’s seams and clear window for splits, clouding or lifting. A loose HFV89 is easier to identify by its Beach Patrol graphics and yellow-rim PR5 wheels.
