Harry P. Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Early meeting Monday AM... so I better get this one going now, cuz I won't have time tomorrow morning. So anyway... real or model? And yes, I did Photoshop out the license plate... I don't want to give you guys an obvious clue! The answer: REAL!
69*Goat Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Model...... There is NO weight on the tires.
Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 There are clues to indicate either way, so I am going with my gut level feeling, real.
george 53 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Welp, it COULD be an Otaki 1/12th scale model of one of the UGLIEST Mustangs ever made, or it COULD be a REAL version of one of the UGLIEST Mustangs ever made.Hate to hurt Envious's feelings, but 71 on up, they ceased to be "Pony cars" AND attractive! The 70's were NOT kind to the Mustang! 70 was the LAST year they were attractive for that decade!!! And to me, the headlights are what make it look REAL to me!
lonewolf01 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 theres lots of things that make me say real. but mainly the tires
Guest promodmerc Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Feeling sorry for us this Harry after last week? That sucker is so real I can feel it.

George, You just certified that you are crazy 69-73 are my favorite for the fastbacks. Coupes not so much but the fastbacks YES. I even liked the Mustang II fastbacks. I'd drive the wheels of off one. I feel the Mustang died in 1987. I never have liked the euro style lights on the 1987-1993 and don't care for the body style on 1994-current.
Guest promodmerc Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Model...... There is NO weight on the tires. Probably because it is a show car now and is driven on and off a trailer. Or all the weights are on the inside of the wheels so that chrome doesn't get messed up.

george 53 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Welp, Danner, I shorely ain't NEVER denied I wasn't, but then again, you know what THEY say, 'Birds of a feather......." And I think the last pretty Mustangs died off in 1970, but then again, that's ME,,,,,again.
Guest promodmerc Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 You misunderstand my comment... The tires are not bulging under the weight of the car... I'm a 1964-1/2 to 1973 Mustang nut. I know a real when I see it. As far as I know, no one makes the new BFG radial T/A's in scale. That is one of the major give aways for me
FujimiLover Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 If a license plate is blocked out, I'm saying real to this one. Usually you wouldn't care about license plate on a model. Mentioning something being obvious or not, usually means it is. I say real on this one!
ABC Auto Industry Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I want to say "model" because of the hood lines, but I'm going with "real". In response to George: If you thought this was bad, just take a look at the '74 Mustang.
kustoms Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 flush fitting front sidemarker lights, rain gutters over the side windows and of course the tires, look at that tread detail,,,, Defanatly REAL! Bud Ellis Kustoms
Harry P. Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 If a license plate is blocked out, I'm saying real to this one. Usually you wouldn't care about license plate on a model. Unless the license plate said "Maisto" or something...
Oldboychas Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I'm thinking real this time..... Charlie
Scott H. Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I've seen this so I'm going to have to disqualify myself. -Scott H.
Roger U Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I vote real. oh, did I mention I'm 0 and 3 so far on this real or model thing
Roadkill2525 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I'd go with model after George H. brought up the idea of the 1:12 Otaki kit.
