What kind of die cast are you looking for? 1/64 1/18 1/24. Most likely AutoArt or Lincoln will do one. In the 1/64 size, they'll just be custom. I'm hoping someone will make a wheel mod, I've tried etching out some solid plastic ones, but so far they have looked crappy. I have a few 550 bodies done in WW and KB, just waiting for the full winter to set in to get some done. Oh, BTW, I said after I got my car, I'd tell you something about me you didn't know. I've collected 1/64 Mustang diecast for 40 years and have almost everyone made, it is the largest collection in the world at this scale. I have over 20 thousand from around the world, I also do customs.

Lol. No judgment. I have a large collection but not even close to that.

Of course I would like 1/18th but any scale would do. I would buy them all haha! I have about 10 hot wheels so far. I'll paint one ww.

I will by the weekend. I had a web site mustangchief.com, but I got too many wackos and virus attracts, so it came down this year after many years. It's hard enough keeping checklists current without some people wanting to destroy the on line versions.

I had the benefit of traveling the world, so it was easier to get the ones from other countries.

No. A 50th anniversary model.
I am sure similar to the t-shirts, hats, etc. they will start to come out more and more. I think the Mustang 50th anniversary hype is actually slightly calmer than I would have expected due to winter.

Could be. I figured it would have been a huge bang of a start in April. I'm actually very surprised that ford isn't publicizing it to the max. Commercials, dealership signs, sponsorships etc. One of the most effective ways to sell something is to make someone feel like they are missing out or can be a part of something.

I think they had more planned, well I know they did because I have some of the promotional materials. Lead time on making diecast is usually 6 months to a year depending on the detail. Just the regular 15 HW took 9 months, but mattel has been slow the past few years.

Here is what 14 thousand HW Mustangs look like. This was last year when I was sorting them. These are all duplicates as I have one of each on display
