Sorry, that's a 1970 Mustang. Matchbox made a '68 and a '70 Mustang (among others) but never did a '69 in this scale. And I don't know why, but I wish they had.

Yup, your right. When the light hits the chrome base right it looks like '69 at a quick glance. Always did have trouble between '69 and '70. |

Oh yeah this was a cool series.iirc this was before diecast mania set in and a lot of these did not sell well. I think this series was right after the inaugural series.I still have a Viper from that series stashed somewhere. This mustang is one of my favorite castings theyve ever done. Thanks for the pics and the memories. mike |

The first shots was an interesting concept, not one that did much for me though, and thinking they did not sell all that well. |
