1968 Mustang GT

1:18 AUTOart

This is AUTOart 1968 Ford Mustang GT in green. Not excatly the ‘68 Bullitt because of the missing JJZ 109 license plate but pretty much the same with AUTOart McQueen’s Bullitt. I’m planning to customize the license plate as soon as I have the time.  It had been temporary out of stock for years. Finally AUTOart decided to re-issue it and also the Buliitt version which is only available in the states. With or without the JJZ 109 plate, still a must have for Mustang collectors out there (who have yet to get one). Some collectors who have the red ’68 GT 390 might get a little bit disappointed with this re-issue. It used to have a metal chassis (I believe) that made it stand out from other AUTOart models.. The re-issue now have a plastic chassis (Please correct me if I’m wrong regarding the Bullitt’s metal chassis). It may not matter much to some but to me it does matter! I like my models heavy (without the metal inserts like the ones in the Bugatti signature models). My red ’68 Mustang GT 390 weighs much heavier because of the metal chassis and it feels solid. Well, like I’ve said, a must have to every mustang collector and if you don’t mind the cost cutting then get one.  I’m still very thankful to AUTOart for re-issuing this one. Over all, the old AUTOart quality is still there. Flawless paint job, detailed engine bay, perforated grills, marked tyres, etc. Enjoy the pictures and comments are very much welcome! Thanks again for visiting my blog!

Cheers!
