2012 Hot Wheels Camaro Z28 X5953: Fourth of July Series | Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Back to the Camaro Casting Index

X5953 is the blue Camaro Z28 in the 2012 Fourth of July Series, marked 1 of 5. Hot Wheels’ collector catalog groups it with the later ’80s Camaro Z-28 releases, a retooled relative of the original Blown Camaro. The 2012 car is distinct from the 1984 blower-equipped casting.

The guide links the related Blown Camaro and ’80s Camaro Z-28 releases. Compare each entry by its casting, paint, graphics, wheels, and packaging; some listings describe the same release under different catalog references.

Physical Details

The blue body carries a white eagle and red, white, and silver patriotic decoration. The car has a black interior, tinted windows, five-spoke wheels, and an unpainted metal base. The collector catalog lists Malaysia as the country of manufacture. Inspect the eagle and lettering for rubs, and check the hood, roof edges and wheel arches for paint wear.

Packaging Details

The Fourth of July Series card marks this Camaro as 1 of 5. The package design is a useful way to distinguish this release from the blue 2012 Camaro Z28 mainline car.
