Having owned two Mustangs, I have been tempted to buy one of these.  Your pictures give me the impression this is a nice model.  If you were giving it a rating in your 5 star measurement system, what would your score be?

@ed-davis, Fidelity 5, Trim, Lensing & Badging -2, Color - 4.5, Interior Detail - 2 (but it's very hard to see), Wheels and tires - 4. It's a very nice model but lacks the detail of some of their more recent issues.

I have these except for the elusive red version.  Its a nice model, in spite of being a dated Brooklin casting.

Historically, Brooklin's castings have been excellent, frequently ahead of their time. It's only relatively recent that the details and finish have been catching up.

Jack, I have all but the red as well. I wasn't willing to pay the price for it. Very realistic rating John K.
