My son went by Walmart and they had a new model shipper. It was much the same as the last one BUT.....it had the Ford drag team kit for $25. He picked up 2 for me. (borrowed pic)

NC did title the very first Mustangs as 1964 1/2.......I have membership #9 of the Mustang Club of America and I have seen other members that had Mustangs in NC titled as such. Also there was a Mustang at 'Ponies in the Smokies' last week that claimed 1964 1/2 but I did not see the title so........(far right....missed taking a photo somehow)

TRUE titles 1964 1/2 Mustangs ar few and far between. Most states entered 1965 on the titles. North Carolina DID enter 1964 1/2 on titles and thus many claim they are more valuable. Early Mustangs had generators rather than alternators. But these get changed out. Biggest difference visually is the dash cluster. 65 has a square speedo with other gauges in small squares. The 66 has 5 round gauges with the speedo in the center the largest. When I restored my 66 I found there are TONS of internal differences even within a single year. You have to know your build date before you order some parts. Tough call from that photo!!!!! Thanks My 66 2+2

My dealer has had ONE....sold over sticker. Wife is looking at Santa Cruz now........about as hard to get.

Been an issue for 2 years or longer. My son works production line for Toyota. They have had 1 or 2 'clean up' days a week because of parts issues. Toyota is smart....they are going to their own chip company.

As a owner of a real Mustang II coupe that looks good!!!

I'll be happy to go WHERE EVER that little Cobra is and rescue it!!!!! I did buy a 77 Mustang II coupe that is 3D printed from a seller on ebay. Nice for the $24 I paid. It will need primer and sanding.....but not much different than resin.

My loop was Cinncy, Dayton and Columbus......a OHIO thing???

Love to say 'WOW That is strange' .....but it is not. I had a package stuck for days in a loop going between 3 cities. My PO had to request an intercept and inspection to get it out of the looping. SOP

ALL the good parts from the Camaro were used to build...........

THAT is a great kit!!!!!!! I bought many of them. Took the wheels out and tossed the rest!!

More likely to see 3D printed copies of many of the JoHan odd balls. 3D is good right now.....think what it will be in 5 years.

The IMSA GTO Mustangs could be a viable reissue if Atlantis has them. Decent kits that were issued once.

Nice clean work!

Great build and color!!!

Some JoHan tooling is not owned by Okey.........some of what we looked at was a 3rd party and a few were owned by Okey. I don't think this is a secret in the industry.......

There is some JoHan tooling out there that could be made viable. One that we looked at hard was the Superbird. It was missing inserts that would need to be tooled.....but done as a 3 in 1 stock, drag and NASCAR could be profitable IMHO ONLY. Many others are less profitable....maybe....

Pretty much what I had been told by a Monogram and then Revell long time employee. We owe Ed Sexton and Atlantis a thanks

How many years ago did JoHan show at RCHTA with a big catalog full of stuff???? Then Moebius looked at some tooling and passed. I know myself a number of folks have looked at the tooling....all passed......SO FAR

I still keep an eye out for a King Cobra........I'd find room for her if I do.....

NICE work!!!!! I'd like to find that kit and the 1/16 scale Mustang II coupe kit. I have a 66 Mustang but my wife has a '75 Mustang II coupe.....Love to build a model of it!

The fact we can no longer cast a T-1 frame is not the issue it sounds like. Advances in metal and welding will make a frame just as good or BETTER than the original. I still think it is sad we are loosing the ability to make things we once mastered...... T-1 photo cause I want to.......

The Atlantis email this week said April for MACK truck kit.

A show from the future?????

Dean Milano did a stock S-3 conversion in a early SAE article. Good start
