Finished in October 2021. Built from Revell Monogram SVT Mustang Cobra kit. Customized a bit to look like a 2004 Mach 1. Added shaker hood scoop from a Revell '70 Torino Cobra, front chin spoiler from a AMT Ford Probe rear spoiler, and rear spoiler from a Revell Saleen Mustang Speedster. RB26DETT swap came from a Tamiya Skyline R32 Nismo, with the SVT Cobra's exhaust modified to hook up with the RB's header. 

Wheels and tires are the custom pieces from a Revell Subraru Impreza WRX. Exterior is Tamiya TS-97 Pearl Yellow cleared with Pledge.

Very cool! That swap would be sacrilegious in the full size world but that’s the beauty of models. Love the repurposed spoiler into a chin spoiler and the Saleen wing out back. Metallic yellow paint and the bark BBS style wheels look great together.

I have seen 1:1s with the RB26 swap, it's not that unusual. What IS unusual is seeing a 1:1 '76 Pintostang with a Flathead V8. That to me is strange.
