1983 Fiat Ritmo 3287 · Red Venezuela A3

The red Venezuelan A3 release stands apart from the French gray pair by both its body color and country of manufacture. The catalog records Blackwall wheels and toy number 3287; it does not specify a special tampo layout for this version. The Fiat Ritmo carries toy number 3287 and shares its casting with the linked family records. This page identifies the release by the exact catalog color and market designation rather than treating the color alone as a new casting.

How to identify this release

  1. Confirm the Fiat Ritmo casting and toy number 3287.
  2. Match the 1983 year and Venezuela release context.
  3. Look for the red body and the tampo or assortment details recorded here: Red body; Blackwall wheels; Venezuela; catalog code A3.
  4. Check the Blackwall wheels, paint condition and base markings before comparing it with a sibling release.

Physical details

Red body; Blackwall wheels; Venezuela; catalog code A3. The broad hatchback profile remains common across the family, so paint shade, the presence or absence of decoration, and the country/series record carry more identification weight than the body shape.

On a loose car, inspect door edges and wheel arches for paint loss, then check the glass, axles and Blackwall tires. For decorated versions, compare the tampo placement and completeness; a missing graphic may be wear rather than an original no-tampo release.

Packaging and collector context

This catalog entry belongs to the 1983 Hot Wheels grouping. Keep any matching package or base evidence with the car when documenting it: the 3287 casting appears in multiple years and markets, and the family includes closely related body colors.

Collector questions

Is this a separate Fiat Ritmo casting?

No. It is one release record for the shared 3287 casting. The catalog year, market and visible color or decoration identify the version.

What should I compare before calling it this variant?

Compare the body color, tampo, wheel type, country information and packaging or base evidence. A loose car may have worn paint or missing decoration, so use more than one clue.
