Yahoo Autos A 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Is the Latest to Be Immortalized in Legos
This 1970s-era Ford Mustang kit is customizable; there's a supercharger, front and rear spoilers, tail or side pipes, and even a nitrous-oxide tank.
A removable roof panel permits access to the attentively detailed interior.
The kit will be available directly from Lego stores or online, starting March 1.
Lego has been on tear in the past few years, working up both scale-model and actual-size reproductions of some pretty exotic hardware such as the Bugatti Chiron, the Aston Martin DB5, and the McLaren 720S. Now it has turned its sights to re-creating a decidedly American icon: the Ford Mustang.
Lego has dabbled in Mustang kits before, but this is the first time it has released one with this level of detail and complexity. Consisting of 1471 individual pieces, the kit measures over 13 inches long and five inches wide when completed. Designed for builder customization, the kit includes a selection of license plates, a supercharger, a rear ducktail spoiler and front chin spoiler, massive exhaust pipes, and a nitrous-oxide tank. The kit even allows the builder to alter the rear suspension lift for that sweet jacked-up look so prevalent in the average high-school parking lot of the mid-1970s era. Opening the front hood reveals a detailed Ford 390-cubic-inch big block V-8 engine; the trunk and doors are also functional.
Additional special elements include working steering, a set of five-spoke rims, and Lego bricks wearing Mustang and GT emblems.
The price for the Lego Creator Mustang expert level kit is $149.99. It will be sold through dedicated Lego stores and on the Lego online shopping site.
