The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

![]() Today's car of the day is Aurora Cigar Box's 1967 De Tomaso Mangusta. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Tomaso_Mangusta ![]() Aurora is mostly known for slot cars, but they did offer a range of "diecast" models in the late '60s. At first they were offered in regular factory colors, but later issues (like this) came in candy chrome colors to cash in on the popularity of Hot Wheels. The only part of the car that is diecast, however, is the base (which puts it in line with some recent offerings from Hot Wheels and Matchbox) while the body is plastic, and can be mounted to an Aurora slot car chassis if so desired (many Cigar Box models did end up as slot cars). ![]()

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I remember seeing these cars on clearance at the KB Liquidation store at a mall in Las Vegas, but I never saw this particular casting shown here!! Very odd! |
