2017 Hot Wheels Fandango — Updated-tooling Treasure Hunt

The 2017 DVD03 is the Fandango Treasure Hunt in HW Art Cars. Its black body, pink PR5 wheels, multicolor graphics and roof Treasure Hunt mark identify it. Collector references also note updated tooling from this year; compare bumper and fender construction with earlier cars.

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: 2017 Hot Wheels Fandango, Treasure Hunt · HW Art Cars #4/10. Toy / collector identifier: DVD03. Recorded body finish: Black. Wheels: Pink PR5. Decoration: Multicolor art-car stripes and shapes; low-production Treasure Hunt mark on roof.

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. This release is from the post-2017 tooling era; collector references describe the bumpers and fenders as integrated with the plastic interior on the updated tool.

Recorded finish: Black. Wheel clue: Pink PR5. Decoration clue: Multicolor art-car stripes and shapes; low-production Treasure Hunt mark on roof.

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.
