Quite a rare box to find with-out the Superfast printing on the box.

Hi George

Great photo of a rare SF box and thanks for sharing. Quite a lot of regular wheel Mustangs left the factory in this box and when I acquired my version many years ago at a toy fair it too had a regular wheel model inside. The other rare SF box without Superfast on it is the 62a Mercury Cougar shown here with photos borrowed from Christians site.

Thanks Rob, I do like these boxes quite a lot. I was staying clear of boxes until I saw all the ones on here and got hooked.

Yes, box variations are as interesting to me as the models and formed a significant part of my collection.
