The kits above has the cobra ll body mods and t-tops that I need for the project Plus the only way I like this era of mustang is with the cobra ll body mods otherwise it is just a pinto with a mustang front end but the cobra ll looks so much different all over and feels like a evolution of the 71-73 mustangs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pic is from Jay Clement's build thread. There's also another release of the kit molded in white. There all exactly the same except for decals and the color of the plastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need one of these mainly cause for the custom lower air dam and the t-tops which the animated car I am trying to make a real life version of has the only main changes I will have to make is a lower air splitter where the lower rear valance would be and only keep two of the slats of the rear window louvers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Here's one on ebay with a make an offer auction. Throw $25 and see if they bite, most people familiar with these kits know they're not great and don't generally go for big money even though they're old. https://www.ebay.com/itm/276265717065?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=RZMyykT7TCi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=CNi_i6G9QKy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if any of the 6 replicas that were made also had a Roush engine though. The kit engine is really generic. In fact, the whole engine, chassis and interior is also used in their custom Monza and Pontiac Sunbird kits. an article on a real one,, https://mustangfanclub.com/mustang-ii-monroe-handler/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is getting a chassis swap and a better engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps? So we're the 1:1 scale automobile. LOL ! I've got the Trojan Horse Mustang II kit. I'd love to grab the FireFighter one myself but not right away though. I'd love to get a couple of other MPC Mustang II kits: Midnight Mustang Mean Streak I did both of them in my teen years and enjoyed building them.
