1987 Hot Wheels Blown Camaro 3858 — Turbo Trax | Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Back to the Camaro Casting Index

The 1987 Turbo Trax entry is identified by toy 3858. The known example is metallic blue with white TurboGlo flame graphics, a red interior and Gold Hot Ones wheels. Check the car and set context when comparing examples.

Casting Info

The original Blown Camaro Z-28 tooling is identified by its hood-mounted blower, sunroof opening and side-exit exhausts. The casting was retooled in 1992; the later body omits the blower and sunroof. Check these molded features before comparing an example with another Camaro in the family index.

The Blown Camaro family covers documented releases and related tooling history. When a row’s exact release is not established, verify its decoration, wheels and package from the car or original packaging instead of inferring details from the year.

Variation Details

The 1987 Turbo Trax entry is identified by toy 3858. The known example is metallic blue with white TurboGlo flame graphics, a red interior and Gold Hot Ones wheels. Check the car and set context when comparing examples.

• Record the body color and graphic placement from the car itself.
• Compare the wheel style, interior, window tint and base markings.
• Use a package or set name only when it matches the exact example.

Physical Details

For a loose example, inspect the hood, roof and side exhaust details first, then document paint chips, tampo wear, wheel condition and base markings. These checks help distinguish the blower-equipped casting from the later retool and keep condition comparisons tied to the specific car.

Packaging Details

The release context recorded for this entry is Turbo Trax set. Keep any package label and toy number with the car when checking a match.

Condition & Value Research

Compare the same confirmed release in similar condition. For loose cars, note chips, graphic wear, wheel damage and base wear. For packaged examples, assess card and blister condition separately. No price is assigned here without a matching completed-sale comparison.
