Would have liked to have a 1:1, so yes for 1:24.

I remember our local radio doing live spots from the Ford dealer lot, during the peak drive times of day, and really emphasizing the grabber color.

You betcha. That would make a great stablemate to my Hachette version.

Yes. I actually liked these. They were basic, but decent looking.

Sort of cute; but, ... no.

There was a guy in my hometown that had a 1:1 that he STUFFED a 427 into it. No kidding.

I saw one at a car show with the 5.0 Coyote in it. It sounded mean as hell.

Gene, when you first posted about the Maverick you did a before and after your tweaks. I don't remember where you liberated the wheels and tires to replace the stock ones on the model.

Ted, the wheels came from my parts box, from the AMT Cougar kit as I used Magnum 500's on it. The tires are AMT parts pack tires.
