I found this beauty today, as part of a "lot" purchase at a local antique store. The rear axle is broken, and needs major work...oh well though because it's just plain cool.![]()

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Indeed, James is right- that's a Yat Ming. #1032. Paint's in decent shape, which is a bit surprising looking at the rusty wheels and the collapsed suspension. If you're into customizing, drill out the rivits, pop in a set of new rims (Tomica's standard wheels will fit, smaller Hot Wheels rims will as well), and replace the suspension tab, and that one'll be ready to cruise again! On a side note, the grill piece is remarkably well preserved. I have a few of this casting where it's hanging out like it wasn't inserted correctly. I think this is the nicest fit & finish I've seen to date on this casting! |

A nice yatming find David. The six dot wheels usually but not always indicate that the casting is a Yatming. |
