Default Mustang Jr.

I’ve never seen these before. Not sure where the guy in the Mustang put his legs.

Those are really cool and detailed. Would love to have a little GTO or Firebird like that for my grandson. Gas engine powered of course.

A guy local to me here has one. They were actually used by dealers as promotional items. They would take them to local schools, let the kids ride around in them, and send home dealership material with the kids.

What a great birthday gift. My grandson just turned 5. Be the coolest kid on the block in a mini-GTO or Firebird. Even the Mustang pictured would be pretty cool.

Those Mustangs and T-Birds are really cool items
never seen them before.
Thanks for sharing

In the late 80's or early 90's there was a company selling 1967 Red GTO Convertibles 2-seater Go-Karts with 5hp engines. A few guys in our local POCI club had one.
One of the guys owned a Red 67 Convertible and would display the Go-Kart with the car sometimes.

Went to a car show a few years back and someone had one of these with a matching regular sized mustang. It was a nice addition to the full sized one.

Did you have the Mustang or the T-Bird ?
Gas or Electric ?


In the late 60's , in the Sears catalog , they had an electric ride-on T-Bucket HotRod that looked really really cool. Begged and begged for one - nope.
A friend got one for Christmas - you could walk faster than it would go.
it was terrible

Default T-Bird and chicks

I have a customer dropping off his '57 T-Bird tomorrow, and he will appreciate this picture of a similar '55 or '56.
