1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 - Wimbeldon White (Welly) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
It was the muscle car era. Power and speed were "in". Ford answered the call with the 1969 Boss 302 Mustang. With this sleek, sporty offering Ford was giving the car-buying public what it wanted and giving the competition a run for its money in SCCA racing.
The 302's inspired look was courtesy of Ford designer Larry Shinoda. Only 1,628 of these Mustangs were sold in 1969. That year the 402 came in four colors: Bright Yellow, Calypso Coral, Wimbeldon White, and Acapulco Blue. The hood, rear deck, tail panel and outer headlight cavities were all painted flat black, completing the car's distictive appearance.
This car had a 290 hp. 302 ci. engine, wide tires and four-speed transmission, but it hailed as a solid-handling machine. Car & Driver said in its June, 1969 issue: "Without a doubt, the Boss 302 is the best handling Ford to ever come out of Dearborn." It came with front and rear spoilers standard. Throw in the optional rear window slats and deck wings and this high performance car had enough "cool" for the most discriminating muscle car enthusiast!

The Ford Mustang launched on April 17, 1964 and sold over 22,000 units on its first day — a record that still stands. Credited with creating the pony car segment, the Mustang gave American buyers a sporty, affordable car at a time when performance meant expense. Early first-generation cars are among the most collected American automobiles ever produced, with the 1967–1968 fastback body style and the 1969–1970 Mach 1 considered peak muscle era styling.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1969 Ford Mustang in White is produced by Welly to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
