I've got a friend that recently picked up 2 67 Ford Mustangs in the Muscle Car Series 1 is lite blue an the other is pea green The lite blue is the custom 67 and the pea green is the regular 67 Mustang both of these cars are missing the production numbers on the bottom of the cars? Will this make the value of the cars go up due to the factory flaw??? How can this happen to two different verision or did this happen to the whole run of 67 Ford Mustangs

I believe the two cars you are referring to are in fact from MCG Stock & Custom Series 7 and not from Series 1. It is actually not necessarily uncommon to find unprinted (etched) production numbers on the chassis due to whatever reasons. As a matter of fact, there are even some cars out there with handwritten numbers instead. I'm not sure whether the entire production run of these cars had missed the number etching process but the ones I have do not have production numbers printed either, at least on the chassis (I keep my cars sealed in the blister pack). However, that does not necessarily mean that the production number was not printed, i.e., in certain cases they are printed under the hood, which I suspect is due to limited space on the chassis based on design that prevents numbers being printed there. In regards to value on the secondary market, it all depends on a variety of variables, as most collectors already know, e.g., whether the demand is there, rarity, and so on. IMOP, I would speculate that these are not worth any more than one with the production number, i.e., if it is indeed not printed under the hood. Hope that helps.

The numbers could also be under the hoods. GL did print some that way.

The numbers are under the hoods. From what I understand they will no longer be done that way, TRU did not like it.
