Time to head to Bonneville and break a few hundred speed records. 

Peterbilt by Road Kings, Trailer by MNTrailers, Camaros by GMP. 

I like 'em!

Here is Maisto 1/18th of the "re-birth" Ford Mustang. A young niece of mine liked this one so much that I gave it to her !

Hmm, 

Where's the galloping horse in the grille.. LMAO. 

Oh, it's a restomod....  

I had the yellow one..lol.

Maisto did a really nice job with this 1/18 Thunderbird and I believe they also offered it in a convertible/top-down edition.

The one I had had a removable up top and boot cover. 

There was also a Neiman Marcus version that, I think, was black with a silver top. 

And let's not forget the James Bond version driven by Halle Berry. 

Forgive me for any spelling mistakes...thanks.

Right.  I have a few, and they do have removable tops and separate boots. Actually, the scale proportions of this model are quite good.

So Cal Speed Shop. This car was used for land speed records and drag racing. 

Thanks for clearing that up.... I used to think they had two cars. Now I know this baby did double duty. 

This is Maisto's very nice model of a sleek Lamborghini supercar. For the real vehicle, one probably needs to be a millionaire to afford this astounding automobile. For the cool 1/18 Maisto model ..... not so much ! 

...not sure I've ever seen this one. Not bad. 🙂

It is a very nicely put together 1/18 supercar. The paint and opening features are really well  done and at the typical low Maisto 1/18 price point.

Maisto has brought us some great models at, IMO, unbelievable prices. 

Especially in August / September at Costco & Sam's Club.

@chris Did you now that the owner of SO CAL Speed Shop stopped racing when his brother in-law was killed in the car when the clutch blew apart and ruptured a fuel line causing a fire. They did not have the bell housings like today that can contain an exploded clutch.
