About the Ford Mustang A/FX – Tasca Ford… “The A/FX Mustangs are some of the most iconic drag cars from the 1960s drag wars. Ford tasked Holman-Moody with developing this quarter-mile monster, and they did not disappoint. They basically stripped everything from the factory K-Code Mustangs and started from scratch. Fibreglass body panels replaced the factory steel versions and all glass was removed and replaced with polycarbonate to save weight. Then came the powerplant. The mighty Ford SOHC 427 Cammer and Wedge engines were shoehorned into the engine bay. In fact, Holman-Moody had to fabricate the front suspension to allow enough clearance for the engines to fit. The final major modification was moving the rear axle forward three inches in order to maximize traction when launched. All of this development resulted in one of the greatest factory lightweight drag cars of all time. Holman-Moody would build a total of 10 1965 A/FX Mustangs, and these would have campaigned under several liveries and banners over the following years.”

Early photos of this diecast show a blue-painted engine. The original color was black. The blue shown was not used till 1969. the Goodyear slicks should be the pie crust style from early 1965. the TASCA FORD lettering should not be split by the door line. the A and the R should not be split by the doors. correct these errors and you have a very nice diecast.
the only photos of the car that shows the hurst decal on the sides were after the side roof vents were removed.
my mistake. found a photo with hurst decal from june 1965 before roof vennts were removed.
