Diecast Restoration - Kenner Fast 111's 1980's Mustang. In today's video I do a restoration on an old Keener Mustang made in the early 80's. This one came in looking pretty poorly. I did a real factory fresh Mustang GT paint scheme straight outta 1983 on her. She's lookin great now!

That Mustang has turned up great! There's one thing I would do, though: I'd file that awful rear bumper until I could get it to the shape of the original one and then paint it body color to match the rest of the car. I would also perhaps cut those side mufflers off and perhaps save them for another project! Still, looks way better than it was before!

My "80's Mustang Story" is about a '70's Mustang. One of just 500 Dealer Only Mustang GT 500's by Shelby. That was me. It was in the 80's but the car was all 70's - plexiglass rear windows and a 427 Tri Power 500 horse with four on the floor. What a story. Real too. It all started...

Looks great 👍 I have a bunch of those old Kenner Fast 111’s. A few of them were still being made as matchbox cars without the big rear bumpers of course. They were purchased by matchbox at some point and I think it was 3 or 4 cars made it over as matchbox cars one of them was this mustang casting. I forget what the others were. Thanks for sharing your great work on all the cars you have done.

Fantastic work! I remember hearing "Rollin' in My 5.0" blaring out of every other Mustang in my high school parking lot. If you also didn't have a mullet and Zubaz pants to go with your Mustang, you probably were just a mechanic working on your first custom. If you did have the mullet and Zubaz, you probably had a dad who bought you the Mustang. Me? I drove a horrible 1979 Buick Regal.

@lotharrenz4621 2 жыл бұрын

I don't think these castings ever made it to germany... this is a sweet result, the casting is surprisingly well-detailed. :) never mind the "glass" insert. they must have had some plastic leftovers and used it for that. ah well, what can you do. :) love the paintjob, and the wheels look great, too. ^^ my story with these... 3 years ago when I was working as a car mechanic, a customer brought a 80 HT 5.0 to get back in shape for technic checkup and registering for classic ride. so we tried to get a replacement for the front mask, which was misshaped and losing paint, and came up short. NOBODY had a mask for a 78-80 mustang, not even used... so it got repainted. also, the interior plastics were so brittle in places it was no fun. my own ride is a Ford Taunus from 1974, and the interior holds up better, even without garage or shelter. :P I was also disappointed by the tiny trunk. but the customer was happy in the end, so there. :)
