dantewallace Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Obviously its an early 80's stang but I don't know the exact year. I have been searching all morning for it online. Who produced it? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Looks like the MPC 1983 GT.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyclaw Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If the box to the left of the model is it's box; it would have to be an old MPC kit. The "Golden Wheels" promotional printing is one of MPC's old buy in promos....earn so many wheels; get a free kit....kinda like the old S&H green stamps....as for the kit itself; I would focus on MPC when searching...early 1980's ....hope the info helps narrow your search..........Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vypurr59 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 When looking for an Out Of Production kit such as this, I found the site www.modelroundup.com they have listings on several OOP kits. and also sell them online as well. I have ordered from here and got great service and timely delivery at a reasonable cost. Hope this may help someone in the future as well. Jack is the owner and very good guy to deal with.

Kris Morgan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Any of the MPC 83=84 Mustang GTs are what you are looking for (non SVO kits). All of the 83-84 Mustang GT kits are the same. Just some different box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Go to eBay. Type "MPC Mustang" in the search feature. Look for results that match that box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's definitely a 1/25 MPC kit; I suspect the box shown behind it is the actual box for the model. I'm thinking it's the 1983 GT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantewallace Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Huge thanks to everyone!!!! I really appreciate it, ordering the kit now. As a kid my neighbor had three of these, two were drag cars,one was a daily. I used to get so excited when they got fired up and would race over there just to see what he was doing,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale392 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) The kit body is very nice, but the underhood and interior detail will leave a LOT to be desired. I have quite a few of these kits (and the 1:1 cars too) and can say without fail that if you want a real nice engine upgrade for this kit, grab either the Revell 32 Ford 3W coupe (carbed) ot the Speedwagon kit (EFI). Also, the later Monogram 199-95GT Mustang kits make excellent donors (same with the Cobras and the AMT offerings if you are looking to go Mod Motor and updated wheel/tire combos. And as built, the above pictured kit has the optional 79 Indy Pace Car/82GT lower front valance installed versus the 83-84GT (which are different from one another) lower.
