Draggon Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 None that I know of. I've always wanted to have a kit of it, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I believe because it was a concept car and not production car. It still come back to the sales numbers with this type of car. I like this car but that is just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Just another "concept car" that really looks nothing like any production Mustang ever. So no reason for any "hoo ha" on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Predictably, a high-detail model of an obscure subject isn’t exactly inexpensive. Standard-issue copies of Automodello’s 1:43 1962 Ford Mustang I carry a MSRP of $119.95, and production will be limited to 995 copies. Those seeking something more collectible can pony up an extra $75 for one of the 95 Tribute Edition copies, which are hand-signed by Dan Gurney, who happened to drive the Mustang I at its debut at the 1962 Watkins Glen Grand Prix. Either way, Automodello’s Mustang I is a welcome addition to the plethora of scale Ford Mustang models already on the market.

Deano Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yep ... tools bought and paid for waaaay back in the day. Cut new steel for a very limited market like that and watch your accountant have an aneurism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I vaguely recall that IMC made a kit of the original Mustang concept as pictured by the OP. Pretty sure it was the first kit IMC did. I may be hallucinating though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Little bit of trivia... maybe someone can elaborate. There was an era when Ford went on a housekeeping binge and ordered all the old concept cars destroyed. Someone internal wanted to save the Mustang I so they hid it in plain sight.. made it a front lobby display. And it survived! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTony8 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Barris didn't build it but I'm sure he'd take credit for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikevillena Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I too think that IMC made a model of the original Mustang (powered by a Ford of Cologne built V-4 engine). I remember seeing several MIB kits when I visited my buddy's collection room. But then again I've been known to spray lacquers without a respirator so I could be wrong Edited April 18, 2014 by mikevillena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I've been known to spray lacquers without a respirator so I could be wrong Guys....sorry to disappoint you on this, but IMC never made a 1/25th scale model of the original V4 powered mid-engine concept car. One of their very first kits, however, was the Mustang II concept car as pictured in Greg's post above. Best regards...TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
