2020 Hot Wheels ’69 COPO Camaro GML22 — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
This is the first documented Hot Wheels release of the ’69 COPO Camaro casting. GML22 appeared in the 2020 Hot Wheels id Factory Fresh series in green Spectraflame. Published catalogs disagree on whether the series number is 1/4 or 2/4; check the package on the specific car. Its code and finish distinguish it from the later blue-green mainline and blue ID chase.
Overview
Confirm the green Spectraflame finish and GML22 code. Catalogs disagree on the Factory Fresh series number (1/4 or 2/4), so check the package marking. Later releases use different codes and decorations. The model is 1:64 scale and uses the GML22 casting.

Physical Details
Green Spectraflame finish; Factory Fresh graphics. The GML22 code identifies the shared casting; it does not identify the color variation by itself. Check the body, printed details, windows, and wheels for wear when examining a loose example.
Scale and release: Hot Wheels id release; 1:64.
Packaging Details
Look for the 2020 Hot Wheels id package and GML22 code. Published catalogs disagree on whether the Factory Fresh entry is 1/4 or 2/4, so use the package marking on the specific copy as the deciding evidence. The GML22 code separates this issue from later releases using the same casting.
Casting History
The COPO Camaro casting debuted in 2020. The green GML22 is the first entry in the six-release family documented here. The same casting number returns on later cars, so the casting identity alone does not identify a specific decoration.
Value Research
Compare the loose car by its green Spectraflame finish and tampo condition; compare carded examples only against the same 2020 ID release. The GML22 code and package marking are useful checks.
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.

Collector FAQs
Is GML22 the same as every later COPO Camaro?
GML22 identifies the shared casting, not a single decoration. Match the year, series, color, and package marking to identify this release.
Why do catalogs show both 1/4 and 2/4?
Published catalog entries disagree about the series position. Check the number printed on the package; GML22 remains the product code for this green release.
Is it a mainline car?
The catalog identifies this as a Hot Wheels id release, not a standard numbered mainline.
