@jkuvakas - The grill and dashboard gauge display were different as well. The grill didn't have the vertical and horizontal pieces surrounding the center Mustang logo. The gauge display had a round speedometer flanked by two smaller gauges on either side. It also had left-right turn signal indicators instead of a single light for either direction.
@marty-johnson Correct! Great model (I have one ) but horrible tires on nice rims. I swapped out the tires, kept the rims and put these wheels on my convertible. 😎
I like that you changed the wheels on the Precision 100.
Yes, thank you Steve. You'll recall I posted all the details a while back. Such a great model deserves BETTER wheels. Incidentally, Ertl's 1/12 1964 Mustang convertible sports the same, but larger, TERRIBLE tires & rims! 😫 😫 😫
Yep, it was quite a few years ago but I still remember your posts about the wheels.
It is an interesting choice that didn't necessarily fill an obvious hole like the 289 Cobras did
Right, that's the way I see it.
What you stated regarding 1/18 '66 'Stangs is also true.... but most, I would argue, would "lump" 1964-1/2 - 1966 Mustangs together. Looking at it in this way, there are many 1/18s. Still, the best bang for the buck is Precision 100's convertible. I have Welly's hardtop ONLY until I replace it with a Classic Carlectables.... which I passed on many years ago when they were "zero" money. 🙁 😔 😓 🙁
Chris,
I have the Tahoe Turquoise Carlectables languishing in my garage. Contact me either here or 'mustangboi53atgmail.com' if interested. I would be happy to remit a fee to the Forums.
@100ford2003 Thanks Steve, I really do appreciate that, but conducting business with forum members is something I just don't do. Over the years, I've received requests to complete projects, paint model, fabricate parts, etc... but always, I've declined. Same for buying/selling. Again, THANK YOU for the interest/offer.
