AutoArt pretty much nailed it on this 'stang.

Since I owned a '71 1:1 it's one of my favorite models. That is despite than in this example...

... Autoart's uncharacteristically incorrect details on the car.

Yes, the front bumper is REALLY wrong. There are interior and engine details that are incorrect...

... as well. The oil filter is an example and is attached to the engine incorrectly. The other is rear passenger windows. Those windows were fixed and did not open. They never had a crank. The exception is when the car had power windows or was a convertible. My nitpicks are as a former owner of the car. Most people would never notice.

Despite the uncharacteristically flawed, and usually accurate Autoart effort, it still sits proudly on my shelf!

Nice one . . . . . I wish AA would do a Boss 351. VERY under rated Muscle Car

I had to start with a SunStar model and detail the snot out of it so that it can sit proudly on the shelf next to the AA version.

It looks good Bob. That Sunstar wasn't bad for its price.

I believe the black was harder than the other colors to get. I used to help a friend sell 1/18 models at Pomona & Long Beach auto swaps. The black went quick.
