Up on Blocks: Lego replica '67 Mustang
Click above to view more of the Lego Mustang in our gallery
A fair share of us Autobloggers were ambitious Lego builders as kids, but we never cooked anything up like this. From Crowkillers, the same hands that brought us the new Camaro made from the plastic Danish bricks, comes this replica 1967 FordMustang fastback, complete with model V8 engine, shaker hood, working suspension with live rear axle, 4-speed transmission, rear spoiler and automatic opening doors. No kidding. With creations like this – and the dozen or so more he's got up on his site – we wonder if this guy didn't have too much time on his hands, but hey, we're bloggers. Who are we to judge? We'll let you judge for yourself with the images in the gallery below.

I respect the time that this person puts into his art/passion, but can we be serious for a second?
I'm usually a pretty positive and supportive person....but....these are some of the worst models I've ever seen. I would have no idea what that thing is supposed to be if you didn't tell me.
Can you guys quit covering these? Thanks!

if you couldn't tell... each piece has a fixed shape.
to look more like the "real thing" these models would have to be 10 times as big.

Agreeded LMB. Those "models" don't resemble anything. Must be a slow day to consider a car made from Legos news worthy. Especially since a similar story was just done.

Admittedly the front view is a bit rough, but the rear quarter shot is unmistakably vintage Mustang. I wasn't too interested in this untill I saw the level of detail, down to a transmission, suspension, steering. Impressive.
I would much rather see this than the thread with 2010 Taurus spy pics. Since when were we waiting with anticipation for the next update in the midsize segment (now officially sponsored by Unisom!)

Throw some Bondo on it and start your own Unique Performance shop!

It's the 21st century and toy Mustangs still have a solid rear axle??!!! Ford deserves to go bankrupt!!!
There. I saved all you Ford haters the trouble. (Also, throw in some misinformed comment about it just being an old Fox-body just for good measure.)

Actually, I thought I saw control arms on the rear suspension in the chassis photo. It kinda looked like IRS to me.
This probably has a more advanced suspension than the actual 2007 Mustang. :D

As a former Lego Addict, I built similar back in the late 80's/early 90's. Nice job on it. I see some parts that didn't exist back when I built, they would have been handy to have.

You guys are crazy. That is one of the coolest Lego creations ever. Those are old pics anyways, he changed the front slighty and it looks much better. I am very impressed with this. I read that this guy gets over a grand for each car he sells. Good Job crowkillers. Who ever you are.
