1997 Hot Wheels ’67 Camaro — Dark Blue: Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Identify the 16737 ’67 Camaro

The dark blue ’67 Camaro is the first-generation coupe in the 30th Anniversary of the Camaro four-car set. Look for the white, yellow and black Sunoco graphics and the number 15 repeated across the body. The “15” and sponsor layout separate it from other blue ’67 Camaro releases.

Set reference 16737 belongs to the 1997 Hot Wheels Collectibles range. Mattel’s set list names four models: the ’67 Camaro, an ’80s Camaro Z28, the ’93 Camaro and the ’95 Camaro Convertible. That package context matters: 16737 identifies the set, while the number and livery identify the ’67 Camaro inside it.

How this release differs

Its strongest identifiers are a blue body, the Sunoco Camaro treatment and #15. It belongs to the 16737 four-car Camaro set; it is separate from the green 16730 three-car ’67 Muscle Cars set and from the pearl-white General Mills 5-pack car.

The collector record should keep the car and its original display set connected. A loose blue Camaro without the distinctive #15 and Sunoco layout is not a match for this release.

Physical details

The body is metal, with clear windows and a gray interior. The opening hood exposes the engine. Chrome deep-dish Real Riders and a black metal base are recorded for this issue; the base is marked Made in China.

On a loose example, inspect the hood hinge and alignment, the deep-dish wheels, the #15 tampo on each visible panel and the Sunoco marks along the sides. Check the black base and rivets before treating a similar blue Camaro as the same release.

Condition and value research

Compare the loose 16737 Camaro with completed sales of the same blue #15 Sunoco car. Compare sealed or opened sets separately: the set also contains three other Camaro models and its display packaging, so a complete set is not equivalent to the loose ’67 Camaro.

Record tampo wear, paint chips, wheel and tire condition, hood operation, base wear and whether the display case or original insert is present. No price range is assigned here.

Release and packaging details

The set celebrates the Camaro’s 30th anniversary and gathers four Camaro castings spanning different eras. Its inner identification calls the featured car “1967 Sunoco Z28”; the die-cast itself carries the recognizable Sunoco sponsorship and #15. Keep those package words with the car’s entry, but use the tampo and body details to identify a loose example.
