2011 Hot Wheels ’69 Camaro T8457 — Sunoco Vintage Racing | Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
← Back to the Camaro Casting Index
The 2011 T8457 carries the Mark Donohue Sunoco Camaro livery in Hot Wheels Vintage Racing, #27 of 30. The blue body, yellow 8-spoke Real Riders and racing number 6 make it one of the easiest ’69 Camaro releases to recognize once the series is known.
Overview
T8457 is the Vintage Racing tribute to Mark Donohue’s Sunoco Camaro. Its #27/30 series position, blue-and-yellow racing decoration and Real Riders separate it from standard 2011 releases and from later cars wearing unrelated racing graphics.
Identification
Release: 2011 Hot Wheels ’69 Camaro. Series: Vintage Racing · #27/30. Toy number: T8457. Recorded finish: Blue Sunoco livery.

Physical details
The cataloged specification lists a blue body, matte-black roof, white number 6 graphics and Sunoco Camaro side lettering. It has a black interior, unpainted Thailand base and yellow 8-spoke Real Riders. These visible details give a stronger match than the general ’69 Camaro casting shape.
Packaging
The original packaging should identify Vintage Racing and the #27/30 position. Check that the car and card agree; a loose T8457 can still be matched from its livery, wheel color and underside markings.
Collector notes
This release references Mark Donohue’s Sunoco Camaro. The race-car graphics are part of the toy’s identity, while the model remains the Hot Wheels ’69 Camaro casting. Record the series position and the exact T8457 code with the car.

Sources and identification notes
Release identification is cross-checked against Hot Wheels Collector Newsletter records, South Texas Diecast catalog entries, Wheels Wonderland and MM’s own ’69 Camaro family index where those references cover the specific detail.
