Any updates on the Moebius 72 Maverick?

Prototypes that never made it into production:

Boss 302 Maverick and Boss 429 Maverick

Thanks for posting these! I'd seen the Boss 302 Mentioned, but did not know what it looked like.

Are those Wire Mags, are 5 Spoke Mags?

Maybe we can adapt the C Stripes from the recent '69 Ford Galaxie kit to the Maverick for the Boss 302 version.

I would love to replicate this one that's Coyote powered...

I have an article in an old issue of "Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords" magazine somewhere in my library with a 1:1 '70 Boss 302 Maverick built to replicate what a factory offering would have looked like... that article inspired me to get a JoHan Mav and the Boss 302 from the AMT/Errl '69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator kit to build my own 1/25 version.

I'll dig a bit deeper in my library to see if I can find the article and post some pics from it.

Thank you !!!!!! Those are the exact two that I was recalling from the Charlie Henry book. Both would be fun builds that don't crush the workload on the bench.

I had not noticed the wheels - they look as if they have a Motor Wheel center cap; wondering if there wasn't a project afoot ....??  Would love to know what the nomenclature under the "BOSS" on the fender is.

Trivia freeks will also note the Mach 2 show car (one of two, IIRC, need to re-read the book) is still intact behind the Maverick at Kar Kraft as late as this pic was taken, approximately 1971. MUCH speculation about what happened to it.
