Sledsel Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Although it is the AMT version, I'd like to see this again also. I do have all the body kit parts and actually failed at trying to cast them. I have a kit I'll use them one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Wishing in one hand, and "BLAH-BLAH-BLAH" in the other here - I hope that , should Round2 conjure up a 1974-1978 Mustang II kit in a similar vain as the '68 Coronets , etc. , that they see fit to include a Ford 9" rear for the P/S et al. versions.

Damn I was thinking that was a 74-78 Mustang II kit but that’s cool that they’re reissuing that kit. I think there is some confusion about which Mustang II we’re talking about..

Duddly01 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I actually picked up a sealed AMT 1977 Mustang II kit on eBay today. Now I am going to feel obligated to build it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you do for the window louvers and spoiler? I would love to build Farah’s car from Charlie’s Angels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I built this MPC Cobra II in the early 90s, and I'd bet my life the side window louvers and front and rear spoilers were all included in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The MPC King Cobra, white box, yellow car with big flares, green snakes, has the rear spoiler and side window louvres too. The rear louvres from the currently re-released Shelby Charger fit pretty good in the rear window too but will need to be shortened about a quarter inch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Of course, I would go gaga for a Mustang II (the real thing, not the concept car), but I really, REALLY want a notchback! The fastback is ugly. the Notchback captures exactly why the Mustang II was the perfect successor to the original; a somewhat tarted-up secretary mobile. GO NOTCHBACK Ghia! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What also helps is that a friend of my father owned one back when they were new. But with the mpc kit modified and the amt tool ready to be injected with molten plastic I don't think it's in the stars, would be neat tho, especially if clear headlamps were to be included in the overhaul. Great box art, be nice to get this Mustang back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragtop Man Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Both AMT and MPC kits ran in recent memory, so, if I'm looking at the second half 2024-2025 portfolio, would not be at all surprised to see one (unlikely both) resurface. Doubt you would see much in the way of new tooling in the kits, perhaps just some sort of a decal sheet that would line up with current licensing agreements. I recall being impressed with the AMT '74, which I promptly put to the saw to (try) to make a Funny Car body, which was a miserable failure. Had the IMSA bodied '77, but discovered "perfume and gasoline" before it got very far. FWIW, my father had Mustang II company cars, a '74 with authentic runs in the Mach 1 blackout, and a black '77 hatch that was really nice, made better by the gutty V8. That was my first street race, which I won. Shudder to think of learning any of my kids would have been that dumb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just licensing and decals away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
