That's actually an issue w/ changing the wheels (and or tires) w/ any of Revell's newest kits...I don't care for the flange style wheels and wheelbacks...they seem rather cheesy.I would think they'd need to be the currently-fashionable-at-Revell "flanged" style wheels, but again, fitting the tires might be an issue.

I'm pretty sure the Monogram kit's wheels fit the Goodyear Eagle VR50 tires, which IIRC are supposed to be 16" diameter, but I've never measured one to see how accurate it is.

Correct...only the Monogram '91 and '92 GT convertible kits have the 'Pony' 5-spoke 16 inch wheels. The last MPC 1:25th was the '88.I don't think any Revell nor MPC Fox Mustang kits included the Pony wheels, did they? Was (were) the 1/24 Monogram kit(s) the only kit(s) to include them?

I think I may have one of those wheels in my parts box, but a full set shouldn't be too hard to find.
Are there any diecast models with the Pony wheels?

Hmmm....the only ones I've seen are 1:64th and 1:18th...don't recall seeing any in 1:24th/1:25th... I have a couple spare GT convertibles...besides the scale difference, what will be interesting is attaching the wheels & tires, since I assume the new Revell kit will likely have Revell's new wheel/tire system.I think I may have one of those wheels in my parts box, but a full set shouldn't be too hard to find.

Little OffTopic, but needs to ask: Have you tried how it runs on Drag Strip?
Those are very popular Drag Cars, so I will pick one up for sure.
Car had a N/A 306 and ran down in the low 11's with street tires , only took it to the track 2 times. Bought a house and it got sold, really regret selling it because it was a GA car and very clean.

Is it just me, or does the top body line look too low still ( Or are the door handles just too high)? And am I mistaken or is the trunk / rear window way... "off" also?
What 's with the 5.0 emblem on the fender? Finally, I don't see an LX or Ford badge on the trunk?

Hers a pic of a 1:1 (borrowed from the net)

another...

Wow..never seen that color before. Neat. One color I liked back the day that seemed pretty rare was a dark green that was available on the '85 or '86 LXes.
That's Sage Green. Here's a pic of my nephew's fully restored '86 Sage Green coupe, before and after the restoration. According to the Fox recognition guide, it's one of six coupes with the 5.0/auto.

And his 24K mile original '85 Dominator

And his red '86 Dominator. You could say he takes his four-eye Foxes very seriously. His new toy is a '13 Gotta Have It Green Boss 302.
