Re: Greenlight 2014
I have to agree to what you gentlemen already said, for me it is very strange to fit those rims to a car that otherwise would have been an attractive proposition.

Re: Greenlight 2014
Hi everyone,
I apologize if everyone thought these were going to bone stock. We had discussed this but the reason for the casting was promotional. We made a custom run of the "Lime Crush" car for Accel Performance. Here is a cool episode on this vehicle:

So these models here are variations on that original theme. We are considering making the necessary mods to make this a stock model. What does everyone think?
Thanks and happy Halloween!

Re: Greenlight 2014
Stock versions with nice detail and colours would probably sell well to collectors.

Re: Greenlight 2014
Stock (especially in blue and white) would be most welcome.
Customs only looks good to a few people as everyone has different taste. The style of the trucks now are very unappealing to me. And going by the responses here, I am not alone.
Doing a vintage stock truck would be a great direction as for the most part, this has been a area that has been neglected.

Re: Greenlight 2014
If done right (made as models, not toys), I'll buy every version of a stock model released. I think the one in Jeff's picture would be very popular.

Re: Greenlight 2014
Its not OEM but It is real. I wish it had different wheels (Cragar SS) or another type wheel that was popular in the 20th century. I just had to get at least one when I saw there was one made in full scale and a limited edition. I wonder how many were made?

Re: Greenlight 2014
That's the Mr. Gasket 50th anniversary edition. I was going to buy one for the wheels and boards but at $40 I thought it was overpriced.

Re: Greenlight 2014
Now with the dimensional weight with UPS and Fedex shipping is not as it used to be. Everytime I ship a package to my customer, they think that they are paying too much for shipping, but I still end up loosing money on shipping.43rdMuscle wrote:That's where I bought mine but IMO shipping was quite high ... so I bought 2 .

Re: Greenlight 2014
I'm wondering if Greenlight is out of the business of building promotional models for Ford? Seems like a 2015 Mustang should be available by now if it was going to happen.

Re: Greenlight 2014
Only a very wild guess but now that Mattel/HW are no longer doing Ferraris could they have pitched for doing Fords?

Don't know if Greenlight stopped doing Fords, but in the German Ford-Lifestyle shop (https://ford7.cwshops.com/de/kollektionen/modellautos) there are an 2015 Mustang (20 Feb 2015) and Mondeo (available, US Fusion) announced in 1:43 by Norev.Only a very wild guess but now that Mattel/HW are no longer doing Ferraris could they have pitched for doing Fords?

Re: Greenlight 2014
Thanks for the link to the German Ford Lifestyle shop. Glad to see a 2015 Mustang in the works in 1:43.

Looks like Norev have some of the gig for 2015 so it's in good hands.
