2002 Hot Wheels Fandango — Red Bluebook, gray interior

The Bluebook issue is a red Fandango with PR5 wheels. South Texas Diecast lists gray and white interior versions under toy number 56033; this record follows the gray-interior entry. Compare the interior through the windows when separating the two.

This page documents one exact-release entry in the Fandango family. Use the item number, series and decoration as a set of clues; a loose car without its original package may need underside and interior inspection before its release can be confirmed.

Official Identification

Release: 2002 Hot Wheels Fandango, Bluebook exclusive. Toy / collector identifier: 56033. Recorded body finish: Red. Wheels: PR5 five-spoke. Decoration: No release-defining side graphic recorded in the reference; gray interior.

Use the release code as a starting point and confirm the body and tampos. Several release records reuse a toy number for distinct interior or decoration variants.

Physical Details

Check the roof, hood, both sides, window tint, interior color and wheel face. The Fandango silhouette remains consistent across the family, so the exact tampo placement and wheel combination do much of the identification work.

Recorded finish: Red. Wheel clue: PR5 five-spoke. Decoration clue: No release-defining side graphic recorded in the reference; gray interior.

Packaging Notes

For a carded example, compare the card year, series name and individual toy number with the car. Keep the package condition separate from the condition of the casting itself.

For loose examples, photograph the base, interior, roof and both sides. Do not use the copyright date molded into the base as the release date without matching the complete version.

Variation web: every recorded Fandango release

Each card opens a release-specific record. Use the year, series or assortment, item number and visible decoration together; a shared casting name alone does not identify the variant.

Sources and Model References

Release details were checked against Mattel product identifiers where available and collector references including South Texas Diecast, Hot Wheels Newsletter, Hot Wheels casting and series catalogs. Small details that disagree across references are omitted unless they distinguish this release.
