ne of only seven racing cars custom-built at the Ford Advanced Vehicle factory in Detroit, l\flichigan, the 1969 Boss 302 Trans-Am Mustang is revered as one of Austraiia’s legendary touring cars. With Allan Moffat behind the wheel and an astonishing 101 victories from just 157 starts between ‘69 and ‘74, this is the V8 that launched one of the most spectacular careers in the history of Australian motor sport. Strictly limited to a one-off production run and never to be repeated, this superb die-cast 1/18-scale replica captures every facet of the
famous car with extraordinary accuracy. Manufactured to the most exacting specifications„this long awaited release has been personally supervised and approved by Allan Moffat during each stage of production to ensure its total authenticity. Presented in the No 9 Red livery and featuring original sponsor decals, the attention to detail and quality of finish is simply stunning - from the Weber carburettor’s chromed ram tubes and distinctive yellow spark plug leads, to the intricate dashboard instrumentation and Minilite wheels - all the power and beauty of this awesome machine has
been brilliantly captured for all time. The first in a series of three models featuring the car as it raced under different colours and body modifications, the 1969 Boss 302 Trans-Am Mustang is destined to become the centre-piece of any collection. An official certificate of Authenticity signed by Allan Moffat accompanies each car.
