Building and Detailing Scale Model Muscle Cars

1972 Ford Mustang Model Kit

• Mustang Milestones - This new, all-color book looks back at all the great Mustangs, from the models mid-year introduction in 1963 to current models. Four decades of production and body styles are featured, depicting stock production examples representing legendary editions like the Shelby, Mach I, Boss, Cobra Jet, Fox chassis models and even the 2001.
• Mustang Forty Years - Ford's Mustang became the Official Car of the Baby Boom. It was a fortuitous accident of timing and a brilliant result of product planning. This sleek, stylish automobile launched the "Pony Car" genre with a staggering 417,000 sales in its first year. Through 40 years of tough competition from Chrysler and General Motors, the Mustang has survived and outlasted them all. Dozens of interviews bring insight to the 40-year-old story, the on-going legend, and the Mustang's future.
• Shelby: The Man, The Cars, The Legend - Carroll Hall Shelby was a character and an icon in car culture and has accomplished and failed at many things in life, from chicken farmer to an 83-year-old man who is now (again) advising Ford on the creation of a Shelby Mustang. The book goes back into Shelby’s history in racing, the beginnings of the Cobra, the Daytona, the 427 Cobra, Ford’s battle for LeMans, the front drive Shelby Dodges, the infamous Series I, Shelby’s participation in the development of the Viper, his quarter-century-long running battle with the army of Cobra clonesters, and much more.
• Iron Fist, Lead Foot: John Coletti and Ford's "Terminator" - One thing was certain about the mercurial Coletti: he had an unswerving faith in the value of high performance. And after almost single-handedly rescuing the Ford Mustang from discontinuation via a covert, renegade program, Coletti had ridden his notoriety into his own throne within Ford-as head of the elite Special Vehicle Team. But in late 2000, Coletti stretched the boundaries of his own legend, abruptly canceling the division's highly-anticipated 2002 Mustang Cobra while disrupting marketing plans and enraging SVT's network of dealers. This is the untold story of how Coletti's performance mandate led to the creation of a car known as the "Terminator," the 2003 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra. It's a tale of closely-guarded secrets and daunting challenges as a small, elite team struggled to create a car that will long stand as an icon of American muscle. With interviews ranging from company chairman Bill Ford to the assembly line workers of the historic-yet-antiquated Dearborn Assembly Plant, Iron Fist, Lead Foot takes readers behind the scenes of this breakneck program and brings them face-to-face with the towering presence of an auto industry legend, John Coletti.
