The tires on the 65 are actually plastic and not rubber, not real wheels. Yes a plastic tire with thin whitwalls. JL has been using them on a few releases already.accobra64 said:That's because it has thin white-wall tires with full wheel discs.
These are called "Real Wheels" by JL.
The others have Cragar mag wheels mounted inside the tires.
The remaining five vehicles may not have "Real Wheels" but do utilize Cragar rims.
I hope this helps.
BYW, I sure like the looks of the 2000 convertible.

A&B castings designate two different chassis: solid axle (GT) and independent rear (Cobra).tinywheels said:nice bunch of Stangs. The 2000 convertible is actually a new casting, possibly modified or improved.

Seriously. I'm not kidding. The club car had the Cobra chassis, I think it was A, and the GT has the B chassis; the club car was the debut of the Cobra chassis stamping as it had not been used previously (the VIP and Modern Muscle cars used the GT chassis). That, and the very changeable Mini Cooper/S models, are the only ones I recall having this.tinywheels said:your funny ... hahaha ... I hope
235A is the Cobra, and reflects the independent rear suspension.tinywheels said:nice bunch of Stangs. The 2000 convertible is actually a new casting, possibly modified or improved. I couldn't tell ya what's different about it let's say over the VIP Mustang convertible but it does have a different casting number ( 235B ). Maybe PMS can tell us.

There is also the '69 Shelby, hardtop is 842A, ragtop is 842B, and Zinger, of course, is 842-Z. Note: All the Zinger chassis have the -Z after the casting number so far.Jeff Koch said:Seriously.

I thought the Modern Muscle Mustangs were a plain 235 with no letter. I don't have any left to check. If you could check I'd appreciate it..Wyatt said:235A is the Cobra, and reflects the independent rear suspension.
235B is the regular convertible.
I don't remember seeing any plain 235(with no letter) castings in my collection. Have you seen any that don't have the A or B?
What I thought you were kidding about is that these JLs had a solid axle or independent. It's the real car you talking about ... dah. What would I know, I'm no Stang fan, although a 70 Mach 1 looks mean.Jeff Koch said:Seriously. I'm not kidding.
