Mustang Juniors were made by the Powercar company of Mystic CT in 1965, 66 and 67. They were powered promotional cars made for dealerships to use and for other promotional purposes aimed at children. Ford company modelers made the mold buck for Powercar prior to the introduction of the new model year so that the mini cars could be shipped to the dealers to use in opening day festivities and other promotions. Using the same body they were available in electric kids, electric adults and gas powered adult versions with the primary difference in the kids and adult version being the placement of the pedals. There were a little over 600 of these cars made from 1965-67 in all drive trains and changing body styles to match the full size cars. They were wrecked by their juvenile drivers and many did not survive once they stopped running so they are very rare and expensive if you can even find one for sale. To learn more go to http://www.jrcentral.com or if you need parts to restore yours or recreate one go to http://www.jrcentral.com/resources.html. They also never made special Shelby or Cobra editions but some have been modified to look like them. The same company that made these also made Thunderbird Juniors in 55-66, Mercury Juniors in 1957 and 58 and Plymouth Fury Juniors in 1958-60 also gas or electric powered
Amazing. But would you sell a complete adult version restored ? Please let me know.

@marcusrusek I sold my 67 gas powered that is featured in many of my other videos and I kicked myself for many years for doing it. I am keeping this one for a long time! Originals are rare but they do come up for sale every now and then but mostly they are in need of restoration. The parts are available to do the restorations if you find one. Of course there are enough parts available to recreate one.
