New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I picked up a couple of these when they came out. One actually would have sufficed, but my fear of a good casting disappearing before you realized it made me nervous. |

I was always fond of the '67 Fastback. Regarding the 390 "from the Ford Thunderbird," I don't think that is correct. The Tbird did indeed have a 390 available, but it was a unique engine found only in Tbirds. Parts did not interchange with the standard Ford 390 used in their other passenger cars and light trucks. For example, the exhaust manifolds on the Tbird were notched to fit in special grooves on the Tbird heads...a feature not found on the standard 390. AFAIK, and I am certainly no expert, the Tbird engine was not used in Mustangs or any other Ford passenger cars. I did tinker on 390s in Galaxies, and my step dad had a '63 Tbird with the aforementioned Tbird specific 390. (My friend's '69 Tbird had a 429) Great looking diecast! |

I love this casting. I have both the R2 Ultra Red (which is probably the best looking in that metallic crimson color) and the R1 blue one. The blue one was my first taste of Auto World, but definitely not my last. I'm now a pretty good customer of the brand, buying both slot cars and diecast. |
