Oh, and it's 1:18 scale... CHECK OUT THE PIX BELOW!

It's got the Fan Blade wheels, IUP, and chrome exhaust tips... racing stripes not included.

It'll have to do until the full-size version arrives. This is by far, one of the finest die cast models I've ever seen. The detail is exquisite. However, this is no kiddie toy. The packaging clearly states that it is not intended for children under 14 years (choking hazard, I guess).

I'm going to find a nice display case for it. It's #421 of 3000. The cardboard box was unremarkable and the plastic frame didn't compliment the model, so I'm not going the "collector" route.

I urge anyone who has considered purchasing a die cast to get one of these before they're gone! Total cost: $84.20 including shipping. (Wish I had preordered, like some other TMS members!) I got mine from diecastmuscle.com, but it is manufactured by Gateway Global Limited. Check out www.autoartmodels.com.

 

HAHAHAHAHA....... Nice toy...

 

Looks nice.

 

Wow .. it even has the intake cover, lol.

 

I need to find one of those in Redfire

 

Looks great. The inside airvents are alittle much tought. Otherwise, looks close to the real thing. What did it set you back?
Never mind. I see the price now. Just need to open my eyes a little more.

 

It was a tossup. I really like the red, but I thought the green might be a nice change of pace. I've got a '58 Belvedere in red already.

If you go to www.diecastmuscle.com and click on Ford, it will open a page that contains both the Legend Lime and Redfire Mustang GTs. Both are in the "car show" configuration with the 18" fan blade wheels and bright exhaust tips.

I normally don't spend so much on die casts, but I decided to treat myself to an early birthday present! This model is a lot more detailed than I could have imagined. Right down to the fuzzy carpet, rear package tray, and trunk lining! It also has spark plug wires and all the correct underhood decals. Well worth it to the demanding collector for sure!

Get one! It'll make the wait a little more bearable.

 

hahah it even has IUP only the best!!

 

Might have to pick up this one:

 

The redfire doesn't have ICAP! Arrrgh!

 

Can you get with the spoiler delete?
Might have get one of those

 

and it comes with the fan blade rims, booooo!!!!!! they should put them on the real car!

 

You said it Maverick! Gosh they should have had an option to add both the fanblade-style rims and the engine cover. You see all these very-close-to-the-real-thing type models, but they show them with the stuff everyone anticipated them having. That's the ONLY beef I have with the car I got. I do like the Bullit's, but I would have really liked those wheels the best. 18's, that's all I asked for. Haha, I'm going to get slayed for that one with people still waiting on their new cars. I'm only halfway joking though about them needing to add the fanblades... B)

 

LOL, these might as well be 2006 models.

 

Aside from the spoiler delete, I wish they had Bullitt wheels. It would be closer to what I want to get. But I still think it is an awesome model!

Imagine the delays in production if these models had to be custom-built!

 

Ya know, they also have 1:24 REMOTE-CONTROL versions!

How sweet would it be if it had the snarling sound effect?

 

You're not just kidding! I'd buy it. I saw a low-end version RC car in Target. I passed, but I'd get one if it looked like the one in your link (thanks, btw!). You could drive it around your house while you're waiting for the 1:1 scale version to arrive...

I'll go you one better, I'd like to hear that Mustang growl as a wake up sound on my alarm clock! That'd get me outta bed in a hurry.
