Both of these colors look fantastic when accentuated by the awesome decaling and spoilers.  The plain version of this car seems rather bland by comparison IMHO.

The detail on these models is incredible!  A pair of DM's finest.

Great photos of a great model.  In hindsight this seems crazy, but I did not buy these models because back at the height of my collecting, 1970 was my cut-off.  And with having sometimes as many as 5 or 6 models back then, I didn't feel financially I could, read that should, go outside of my set guidelines.  So, I missed out.

I was able to grab the silver model from our short lived DM retailer here in suburban Melbourne some years ago and absolutely love it. Thanks John

Have both, love both. The Boss and Mach I are the only 71 through 73 Mustangs that I like.
