M2 did a really nice 1/24th diecast 70 Boss 302 Mustang. Detail and proportions were great. I bought 2 of the Boss Mustangs and a 69 SS Camaro that I was very pleased with. The only problem that developed with them was, within a week of setting them on my model shelf the wheels began to sag pretty badly. The base and suspension parts were all plastic and could not support the weight of the diecast bodies. This pretty much bummed me out. I was able to modify and remake some of the pieces with the Evergreen modelers plastic to give more strength to the suspension and correct the problem.
This is the drag version of the Boss 302 Mustang by M2

That's a shame. Most of the M2 vehicles are really well built. I have a few Mustangs from them, and have had not issues.

Hate to hear that. I've had a couple with loose wheels. I removed the centers, tightened the screws, and that took care of it. Looks like you got a couple of nice ones. I have the yellow Boss 302, and the Twister version. They are great models.😊

Sharp looking Mustangs, all! Sorry to hear about the ills of the sagging wheels. Hope it's fixable.

@geno I have the same two as you Geno. Luckily neither has had the problems mentioned above. Both display well with the mint models.

@bob-jackman I agree Bob, I missed out on the DM Twister, then it got too expensive. This fills in quite nicely.😊

I really like the M2 70 Mustangs. I have 7 of them. Display space is a problem, so they are still in their boxes. My twister was bought with out a box, so I need to check its wheels. Love the photos shared in this topic.
