Toymaker: AMF/Wen-Mac

AMF/Wen-Mac, a division of Los Angeles-based American Machine & Foundry (AMF) Company, produced two large (16-inch) motorized Mustangs in the mid-60s: a 1966 Poppy Red Mustang Coupe and a 1967 Turquoise Mustang Fastback. They were sold exclusively through Ford dealers for $4.95 (1966 model) or $5.95 (1967 model). The standard set-up for both cars was a battery-powered electric motor, but an optional gas engine conversion kit could be ordered for $2.50 in 1966 and $5.98 in 1967. The kit included a gasoline engine, can of fuel, tether line and rubber slicks. A remote-control throttle could also be added. Today, the most sought after and expensive version of these cars is the wireless remote-control versions produced jointly by AMF/Wen-Mac and Testor R/C Corporation. Due to their high sticker price in 1966 and 1967, few were sold and even fewer survive today.
