Love this set. Must have for car enthusiasts.

This was my first solo Lego build in almost 33 years. Aside from helping my nephew with his first Technic set several years ago, this was the first time since I was a teenager I have built a Lego set. And I must say it brought the Lego addiction back fast!
I’ve always been into hot rods and Lego did a great job matching the body of the late 60’s model Mustangs. I stuck with the Classic stock body build rather than the Dragster look.
This set wasn’t missing a single piece. I was extremely rusty starting this build. Although it’s a 16+ Expert set rather than the 18+ of others I’ve been building since this, it has a lot of really tedious building involved throughout the build.
I downloaded the Lego PDF and used that rather than using the paper instructions. Now I’m using the Lego Builder App which is much more user friendly.
There were several challenges along the build that I had to really figure out since the instructions are lacking on numerous steps. But I’ve since found the more I build, the easier it is to look at an image and figure it out after getting use to the pieces that weren’t around when I was young.
The one complaint I had was the windshield install. It’s absolutely the tightest fitting piece of the set. After looking everything over and making sure it did indeed go where it seemed impossible, my first attempts failed and I had to carefully reassemble some earlier built parts simply due to the amount of pressure needed to snap it into place. There isn’t much support under the dash and that was the weak point. I finally just lined it up and pressed very hard down and it locked into place. But once installed, it really added much needed strength for the overall build. It held the car together nicely.
The seats were simply one of my favorite parts of this build. They look amazing and I love the two tones of tan color used.
The small angled pieces that are used a lot on the exterior to build the body have a nice glossy finish and it looks great.
The steering works perfectly and Lego really captured the unmistakable look of the rear GT taillights.
The engine is very detailed for a set below 1500 pieces. The distributer only has four plug wires on a big block V8, but trying to cram another 4 in would have taken away from the appearance of the engine. So I can look past that.
The stickers weren’t as hard to apply as some have suggested. But that’s simply my opinion.
I only gave 4 stars for play because there are a couple of pieces that will fall off pretty easily (small blue single angled pieces on front bumper) and the side mirrors, although easily adjustable and reinstalled, will move or pop off. Just thinking about myself as a kid knowing I would have done that playing with this set.
Overall I loved this build and I love the overall look. I build sets and display them. After building this set, I have since bought 12 more Lego sets from the Ford GT to the UCS Millennium Falcon. I’ve been building daily and loving it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi I really enjoyed building this model as love the old skool Ford mustang. I was really excited about this set and ordered it just after midnight on day of release. The build was fun and challenging at points took a decent amount of time to build for the price point and will look good up on my shelf next to me RS. GT3, Caterham and also my VW Camper

The mustang is beautiful once put together. Fun build and interesting techniques. I for one would love an entire line of lego American muscles cars.

Fun, detailed and beautiful

This is a wonderful set! I’ve always wanted a ‘67 mustang and now I have one on my desk. It was fun to put together and looks amazing!
I was really excited to get this kit, as I have looked at it for a while, so I paid for 1-2 day delivery. There was a piece missing about half way through. Lego was great about sending a new one, but it took 7-10 business making the overnight shipping I paid for useless. So that was a bummer and why I rate it 4 stars. But an amazing set and really fun to build.

Uneven Printing
on February 16, 2023
Posted by: Jackie
After fiddling with the racing stripes, I was finally able to find an orientation of the pieces that this stripe is at least consistent the whole length of the car.
For the stripes on the sides of the doors, however, there was no combination where the stripes would match up. I tried every combination of the 2x4 GT pieces and each of the 2x2 stripe pieces and every one of them was misaligned.
I genuinely would rather stickers for all of these pieces as it seems my sticker placement comes out better than the printing process for this set.

The construction is fun and engaging with a lot of detailed parts, definitely worth the money.
It will be a good amount of hours, with fun fact throughout the construction
