Couple things... Because of the upholstery detail and dash gauge layout this model replicates a Mustang GT COUPE. A little research would produce plenty of detail pics for stripes and interior patterns for the cool two-tone GT interiors. Nice work!

Actually the model isnt a GT it has the deluxe "Pony" interior. The 5 gauge dash was standard in 1966. The glove box and gauge mount panels should be woodgrain and the interior 2 toned.

I had this kit in 1967! You’ve made me want to rebuild it using some of you tips! Just wish they were not so expensive. 😟 Not sure how much you price your kits at but in the few model shops left up here, this model is priced between $25 and $30 (CDN).

@@RightOnReplicas thank you for the advise. It is sad that the hobby has become so expensive. I remember when I started buying my own models back in the early 70's (as opposed to what you'd get as a birthday or Christmas present). I know my car, and aircraft kits were single digit prices. The most expensive model I ever got back then was Monogram's Saturn V-Apollo. That model cost my parents $20 in 1970. I worked all summer cutting lawns to pay for it. I still have it.

Lance, The kit came with some street custom tires that are definitely bigger than the stock ones. Then again they aren't really out of range. Quite often back then as tire manufacturers were producing larger tires they would be the best choice for performance minded drivers when it was time for a new set of skins. AMT even included a set of racing slicks in this kit that would require opening up the wheel wells. It's really whatever the builder wants to do!.

I hate to say this but this kit is not good. I hope one day, AMT retools this kit and takes this model and builders serious ! I swear some of the American car model co.'s do NOT care about quality and "think" the majority of their customers are still kids. MOST car model builders are grown men. My biggest pet peeve with this Mustang kit is how high it stands AND for this particular kit, there is nothing you can do to lower it unless you don't mind it looking stupid underneath. Very disappointed. Today's technology, this shouldn't be a monumental task for amt to retool the most popular cars. HELLO !?

HH, Some kits are better than others that's for sure but let's face it; AMT and Revell are issuing these old kits with little investment to use the profits to develop their other lines like Star Wars, Gundam and Star Trek kits. As sales drop off (like us older builders) they'll offer them less and less to concentrate on the others. It's just business! -Doug
