2016 Hot Wheels ’67 Camaro DTH35
A casting-first guide to the Spectraflame dark orange Neo-Classics release: how to identify its paint, stripes, wheels, base and original RLC packaging.
What is the DTH35 ’67 Camaro?
DTH35 is the 2016 Hot Wheels ’67 Camaro issued in the RLC Neo-Classics series. Its deep orange Spectraflame finish and white stripe-and-scallop graphics distinguish it from the other ’67 Camaro releases around it. The release is identified as number 2 of 4 in the Neo-Classics group.
This guide is about the casting and this specific variation. The most useful identification cues are the bright metallic orange body, white graphics, white roof, blue-tinted glazing, white interior and Neo-Classics Redline-style wheels.
How to identify this variation
| Release | 2016 Hot Wheels RLC Neo-Classics, Series 14; 2 of 4 |
|---|---|
| Casting | ’67 Camaro |
| Body finish | Spectraflame dark orange |
| Graphics | White stripes and scallop graphics, with a white roof |
| Wheels | Neo-Classics Redline-style wheels |
| Windows / interior | Blue-tinted windows; white interior |
| Base / origin | Chrome-finished metal base; made in China |
On a loose example, inspect the paint under neutral light. Spectraflame reflects more light than a flat orange paint, so color can shift in photographs. Check that the white graphics follow the DTH35 layout on both sides and that the roof is white. The opening hood is part of the casting; check its fit and hinge movement gently rather than forcing it.
Physical details collectors notice
Paint and graphics
The orange body is the first cue, but the white side scallops and stripe layout make the release easier to separate from other orange ’67 Camaros. Compare both sides: a single-angle photo can hide part of the graphic pattern, and glare can make Spectraflame paint look lighter than it is.
Wheels, glazing and interior
The Neo-Classics wheel treatment, blue-tinted windows and white interior are useful supporting details when the car is outside its packaging. They help distinguish the release from basic-series versions whose wheels, glazing or interior can look similar in a small thumbnail.
Base and moving part
The DTH35 is listed with a chrome-finished metal base and an opening hood. For a loose car, look at the base markings and hinge area as part of the full identification. Avoid treating a paint color alone as proof of identity.
Original packaging
DTH35 was released in an RLC collector blister. The card and blister make the release number and original presentation easier to confirm; for a loose car, rely on the body graphics and construction details instead.
When inspecting a carded example, check the card identity, blister seal, car orientation and whether the paint and graphics are visible without heavy reflections. A packaged example and a loose example document different things, so label the condition clearly in collection records.
Where DTH35 fits in the ’67 Camaro family
The Neo-Classics issue gives this casting a collector-series treatment rather than a standard mainline decoration. Its orange Spectraflame finish, white graphics and redline-style wheels are the release-specific combination to record. Do not identify it only by the casting name: the DTH35 release code and graphic layout matter.
The ’67 Camaro has a long Hot Wheels release history, with many changes in color, wheels, graphics and packaging. Use the family index below to compare the versions against their own release details and photos.

What to inspect on a loose DTH35
- Paint: inspect the orange finish in even light; note scratches, chips, dull patches or polishing.
- Graphics: compare both white scallop-and-stripe layouts and check for rub-through or missing tampo.
- Hood: look for a straight shut line, intact hinge and smooth movement.
- Wheels: check the redline-style rings, wheel faces, axle alignment and whether the car sits level.
- Glass and interior: look for cracks, clouding, fit and the blue tint/white interior combination.
- Base: record the visible casting and country markings; dirt or metal polish can obscure details.
For carded examples, record card and blister condition separately from the car. Creases, yellowing, cracks, lifting seals and reflections can affect what the photos show without changing the casting identity.
Identification notes
Release identification and physical details were cross-checked against collector catalog records for DTH35 and the 2016 Neo-Classics series. The photograph above documents the carded example. Production-count claims and current market values are omitted here because they are not needed to identify the casting.
