madhorseman Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Hi there, has anyone seen one of these before? I recently bought it from EBay and the listing read as in the title of this posting. Seller also said it was 1/24th scale.

JTalmage Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 this is actually a '79. A '78 was a Mustang II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhorseman Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 I knew it wasn't a 1978, just wondered if it was rare. It looks to me like a '79 Indy Pace Car. I compared it to a 1988 MPC GT that I'm building and it isn't quite a 1/25 scale, according to that. Sadly I didn't see where on the chassis it has 1/24 scala (Italian for scale).

Maindrian Pace Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's actually an '80, the '79 Cobra didn't have the pace car air dam. -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Nice! And those '94 17" tri-bars look right at home on an early Fox as a replacement for the metric wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I think it would look great as a '79 Pace Car. It's already most of the way there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
