Picked up another mustang, need a 1/24 foxbody diecast to go with it

[2000xp8]

Technically a 2014, just not the car...
Grabbed this a day ago, took a few years to find one semi local at a price i was willing to pay.
Been a hobby of mine for a long time. I used to get games by the handful, fix and sell or trade them to pay for the games i wanted to keep. I was getting close to quitting since i have had almost all the games i wanted that were within reason, then this popped up. To be clear, i'm a Bally/Williams guy, they were made much better back in the day, but they only did Corvette, so Stern it is, this time.

I know nothing about die cast models, other than that they can be expensive. The one on this game was already swapped out. The original (which i have) measures about 8" long about 3" wide about 2 1/2" tall and the screw holes on the bottom are 1.25 apart. Original says it's a 1/24
Obviously i need a foxbody. Doesn't need to be collectible, i have enough collectible crap just needs to look cool.
I'm a little worried that all the accurate fox models are 1/18, which is probably too big.

Friend picked up a few games that we had repaired and played for years.... Hi Speed Pursuit was probably the fav.. Tipped quite a few beers leaning over that pinball game....

High Speed was my first pinball machine. It was so F'ed up when i bought it, by the time i was done most of the rest of the games were easy.

Noobz, i don't mind that one, though if you see it out of the box, it looks much different, I'm thinking more like this one:

Pardon Our Interruption...

Don't love the massive wheels, but the other version of it has cobra wheels that look the size of 10 holes.

Clearly this would be a lot more fun if it were 1/18.

Ertl makes a vintage 1:24. Back in the 1980s

I have one NOS in package so might be willing to let this go

Mike, you either have massive hands or that's like 1/64, lol.
I do appreciate the offer, but with lighting and glare it's probably going to have to be a bright color.

Oops. It’s 1:43

Clearly this would be a lot more fun if it were full size and sit'n in my driveway

Na, i don't have much if any interest in owning another mustang. For work i need my van, for family i have my f150 and my wife has her car.
If one car sits a lot from non use, imagine what two would do. Besides most guys with more than one mustang neglect one or the other, i imagine it's not much different than having two wives, then throw kids into the mix and something has to give.
I'm a big fan of 80's/90's cars. Too many others I liked as a kid to have more of the same anyway.

Yeah, bought that one last night, i figured what the hell, it's like $20 (on some sites $17.99). If i don't like it i'll give it to my kids to play with.
Pics are deceiving of these cars, from some angles they look right, some the proportions are off.

Like the blue one noobz posted, in the box it looks good (though i don't like the stripe) out of the box it looks like it's a gt with a body kit added to the gt package.

 

[2000xp8]

Seems like a good value for $20. The quality is better than expected and in it's pretty accurate in person, i wish the rims were slightly larger and the tires a bit lower profile, but in all, looks pretty damn close to correct. I may buy a teal one too, see how the contrast works.
It's funny, the pinball guys that own or like this machine (though it's rather low in production), really have no love for foxes.

 

[Mustang5L5]

They really have no love for foxes.

It’s hilarious. Outside of enthusiasts nobody cares for them.


All summer long I’ve had BBQs at my house. My Fox and SN95 are in the garage. Everyone loves the SN95 and all my teenage 2nd cousins want to take it for a ride..

Nobody even looks in the Fox’s direction

 

[2000xp8]

I think it's because a foxbody is more of an enthusiast's vehicle.
Car people like them (or hate them) but the average person thinks little about their existence.
I have always thought of fox owners as people that drive them because they love them, not because they think other people will be impressed by them.
