| The Mustang is an iconic brand name for Ford, which was introduced the first generation and manufactured from 1964 to 1973. It was one of Ford’s popular cars known as a “pony car” that revolutionized the compact car.

Ford’s Mustang is synonymous of the brands heritage ever to produce a muscle car that would define what a compact vehicle is at the same time the styling for its sleek and manly appearance. The first generation is iconic you can definitely see how Ford has mass produced this in eight years.

The Mudstanger
Matchbox originally introduced the 1968 Custom Mustang known as a “Mudstanger” in 2016 in green with mud splatter on each side of the car with oversized wheels. It’s one of Matchbox’s radical designs to introduce a custom Mustang a 4x4 vehicle able to take any terrain whenever you drive it.
So far there are three variations of the “Mudstanger” that was released, which was sold in the mainline and under the color change series in orange. The 2017 was released in white with a racing graphics tampograph with the number 12.

Muscular Machine
The appearance of the 1968 Custom Mustang is hilarious sporting oversize wheels it can be translated in the real world. It’s quite interesting how Matchbox has put together an iconic “pony car” and turned into a 4x4 off-road Mustang.
It has interiors and nice trims on its wheels, but there are not many details down to the wheel axle and suspension. But close enough to attract collectors and Mustang fans who would like to see a radical look on a classic car that speaks heritage and off-road concept that takes a fresh look on a term ‘muscle car.’
“1968 Custom Mustang Mudstanger” is numbered 124 0f 125 die-cast cars released for Matchbox in 2017 and it was acquired at Big W in Westfield Marion for $2.00 AUD (originaly retailed at $3.00 AUD) or PhP 80.00 in Philippine Peso.
Matchbox is distributed and sold in Australia by Mattel Pty., LTD. based in Richmond, Victoria.
