1964 Rally Mustang

[Gramps46]

In 1964 Ford sent 4 early Mustangs to Alan Mann in England to prepare for rallying and exposure to the European market.  Three of them were prepped and ran in the major rally events and one was kept as a spare, kind of a rolling parts bin.  The spare, DPK 4B, was left with Scuderia Filipinetti in Switzerland and raced and rallied by them.  #50 is the 1965 Gaisberg Hill Climb number.

 

The model:

So here is my version of the DPK 4B built from a 1/24 Welly Mustang.  It differs from the other three as it still had its full trim.  I lowered it and added NASCAR wheels and printed decals for it except for the Scuderia lettering which I had to buy from Spain.
