1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II / Ford Torino Talladega

This one!


I've got a 1:32 master here, do you think it would be worth making some resin bodyshells? It's not my usual kind of car, but I really like the look of it

I'm crazy about a Mercury :)

[waaytoomuchintothis]

Yeah, me too. I started one in that livery in 1/24 and never finished it. Count me in.

May I ask what the price is going to be and if clear parts will be included?

[choc-ice]

Someone just told me about the Carrera Torino which is very close to this so it's probably not worth doing. Thanks for everyone's posts.

Now the '71 Mustang Mach 1 hasn't been done in 1:32 has it? It's never been a race car but that's never stopped me

You're right - it does look good as a race car!

Here's a rough placement of mine




And the kind of car I usually do...

[waaytoomuchintothis]

While my '65 Mustang was getting a paint job in 1982, I had the shop owner's restored '73 Mach I to drive as a loaner. I have to say, that is one ridiculous car, to be as good looking as it was. You sit way too low to see well, the steering wheel is at a strange angle, the instrument panel is at the bottom of a deep hole in the dash, you look in the rear view mirror to see through a little slit of a back window, and it rode like a buckboard. I had always wanted one of those things, but I didn't after that week.

Personally I think the lines of the Mercury are enough different from the Ford Torino to make it a worthwhile project and as a plus it could fit on the Carrera chassis.

[waaytoomuchintothis]

I'm with Bob on this. I already looked to make sure I still have one spare Carrera chassis.

[sixtiesracer]

Yeah, there's enough Carerra chassis in existence to make it worth while.I've got a Hoss Ellington Merc. that I want to do.

Oh my, I'm diggin' that Mustang. They make great looking race cars like this:
