This week I'm close to biting off more than I can chew with a trio of Lesney Matchbox 8E Ford Mustangs. Two were from the regular wheels era with the unique to the Mustang steering function, while the other was one of the short-lived red Superfast models. One had all of its exterior paint removed and was missing its window piece, the other had been painted over in patchwork red and orange and had a crushed in roof, while the Superfast car simply had a broken wheel. My intention was to restore one, restomod the other and fully customise the Superfast car. Things did not go to plan.
The casting was in the Matchbox 1-75 range between 1966 and 1971, switching over to the new Superfast line in 1970. The casting lasted a further four years until 1975 as the 8F Wildcat Dragster which was modified with a huge V8 sticking through the hood and a larger set of rear wheels to give it an aggressive stance.
Based on the first generation Ford Mustang, the casting is a copy of a 1965 Mustang GT Fastback. The first iteration ran from 1964 until 1967, when it was modified to allow it to fit Ford's big block engines. It was enlarged again in 1971 and continued on until 1973 when it was reduced in size for the Pinto-based second generation.
