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.

Would there ever be a world where we could hope for a 4-door version of the Maverick in order to cover the famous Gapp & Roush Pro Stock car?

Southern Motorsport hobbies has a nice resin body and the yesteryear decals available for this check out their website

You gotta love the hair helmet on the dude in the background. 😄👍

I wouldn't put it past them - but there would have to be a pretty solid business case for the one-off.

Pro Stock had advanced light years from the original Dyno Don car to the TJ Taxi. The innards would not be correct for an 'early' car, so the crossover work done with the F-Series is pretty well off the table. 

Drag kits always do well, maybe not as crazy as it would seem.
