AMT 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop 1/25 Scale Model Kit

This is a vintage-style 1/25 scale plastic model assembly kit of a 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop, produced by AMT. The box art features a high-impact graphic design with a light blue Mustang centerpiece against a background of white, blue, and black. Notable text on the box includes the brand logo 'amt' in a red box, the slogan 'THE ONLY WAY TO GO!', and the 'Exclusively for VPC Hobbies' sticker on the lower right corner, suggesting a specialized retail release. The kit is marketed as a 'top quality customizing kit' that allows the builder to choose between 'stock or custom' configurations. Physically, the packaging appears to be in relatively good condition, though there is a visible vertical crease or dent on the lower-center edge of the box lid and some minor surface wear consistent with storage. The box is made of printed cardstock and is likely unopened or still contains the original plastic-molded parts (sprues), chrome-plated pieces, and rubber tires typically found in these kits. This item represents a classic era of American scale modeling (likely a modern reissue of an older tool) and is highly collectible among automotive enthusiasts and hobbyists. The presence of the VPC Hobbies decal indicates this may be a limited market run or a specific distributor iteration of the standard AMT tooling.
