Moebius 1:25 1969 F100 Custom Cab Short-Bed
Description
Moebius Models 1227:
1/25 1969 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Short Bed
The Moebius Models 1227 assembly kit (originally released in collaboration with Model King) delivers a highly prized piece of late-60s truck history to your workbench. While most classic scale model trucks default to top-of-the-line V8 trims, code 1227 stands out by beautifully capturing a realistic, down-market workhorse: the 1969 Ford F-100 Custom Cab with a short bed layout.
Because this kit was produced as an "Encore" limited production run (with only a few thousand units pressed per batch), it has become a highly sought-after collector's prize on the secondary market.
Kit Features & High-Fidelity Details
Rare Ford Inline Six Engine: Features one of the few scale replicas ever produced of Ford's bulletproof 240 cubic-inch Straight-6 engine. It comes outfitted with a highly accurate array of separate accessory parts and transmission plumbing.
Distinct '69 Grille & Markers: Meticulously captures the unique, year-specific horizontal front grille texture and side marker lamp layout that separates the 1969 model year from the rest of the fourth-generation F-Series.
Revolutionary Twin-I-Beam Suspension: Showcases an incredible level of structural fidelity under the chassis, faithfully replicating Ford’s signature independent front axle architecture.
Detailed Custom Cab Interior: Built with a highly authentic "platform-style" cabin enclosure, featuring realistic texturing across the bench seat, standard steering column details, and clear dashboard face markers.
Premium Plated Chrome & Accessories: Packed with brilliant mirror-finish chrome trees covering the front grille, headlight bezels, straight front bumper, and an optional heavy-duty step bumper for the rear tailgate.
