Scale and release: Pantone assortment; 1:64.

The packaging identifies JKY50 as Sunset Race 5/6. It is part of the Pantone assortment. Use the code and series number to separate it from other orange or red COPO Camaro releases.
Casting History
The GML22 casting returned in the 2026 Sunset Race series. JKY50 is the orange Pantone release, number 5/6. The same casting reference spans its earlier 2020–2022 issues, so JKY50 and its series details are essential identifiers.
Value Research
Compare the orange body and black hood stripes with other orange COPO Camaro releases. Confirm JKY50 and Sunset Race 5/6; the shared GML22 casting is not enough to match a specific release.
Use completed sales for the same product code and package state. Card condition, blister clarity, loose-car tampo wear, and completeness can change comparisons; this guide does not state a price estimate.
Every Casting Variation
The GML22 casting appears in six documented releases. The 2021 blue cars are separate products: GRY44 is the Speed Graphics mainline and GTD68 is the ID chase. The 2022 red and yellow cars share a series slot but have separate product codes.
