- 1972 Mustang Convertible
Induced by lastfairlane´s quest for a scale model of our favorite convertible, I decided to share this with you guys.
AFAIK there is currently no such model available, but I do have one! I found it on Ebay a few years ago. Somebody in Germany with bigger skills than me had converted a 1971 Fastback into a ragtop which he was selling right at the time when mine was undergoing restoration and awaiting her yellow paint. So you can imagine my surprise when I found this model in bright yellow. I immediately placed a ridiculously high bid, so I was sure to win it.
It was a typical no brainer!
Unfortunately the guy decided to lift the rear of the car to get that street machine look which cannot be easily reversed, but I bought it anyway. Hey beggars ain´t choosers when it comes to convertible scale models.
Maybe one of these days I´ll get me a new Fastback and use that "chassis" to get this one back to the original stance, but I´m no modeler.
Here are the pics:
Enjoy.
