What reviewers are saying

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"This is hands down my favourite Speed Champions vehicle yet and I'm not even a hardcore Ford/Mustang fan."

Jay's Brick Blog

"This is a competent and attractive addition to the Speed Champions lineup. It's dark green livery, far from being drab, makes it more appealing than an endless stream of red Ferraris."

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

Steve McQueen bullet car (Highland green Mustang) — The set evokes this iconic variant through its green and classic racing aesthetic, though it uses a tan/white color scheme; full replication would require significant part replacement.

Other Speed Champions side builds — This side build is less successful than others in the line that include contextual elements like start/finish lines or track sections; the quarter-mile timer seems mismatched to a road-course car.

Other Speed Champions vehicles — This is hands down my favourite Speed Champions vehicle yet and I'm not even a hardcore Ford/Mustang fan. It's one of the best Speed Champions cars yet in my opinion.

Bullitt Mustang (real car/alternative build) — The green vintage pony car is a clear homage to the iconic vehicle. It's possible to recreate the Bullitt Mustang with a few part swaps, with about 80% of stickers not necessary for a 'stock' version.

BUY

"Definitely clearly made with a lot of love and some some solid teamwork back and forth, a lot of communication between Lego and Ford and or at least one classic car enthusiast, probably classic Ford racing enthusiast because the combinations of things that were put together here with the colors, the style of the striping with the wheels also So, the the hood bulge that's probably from a different spec of car. It just feels like they brought a few different classic Mustangs into a single car here. And they did it very tastefully."

Key Pros

✓Excellent shape and proportions, especially from side and quarter angles
✓Thoughtful hood scoop detail using existing piece in a clever way
✓Printed Ford logo on 1x1 plate instead of sticker, with spare included

Key Cons

✕Roof and windscreen appear narrow (four studs) compared to base (six studs) when viewed head-on
✕Side build has limited contextual value; unclear what the quarter-mile timer reference means for a road-course car

Value drivers

Jay's Brick Blog: The vintage Ford racing driver minifigure with detailed printing is a notable element, though not called out as a primary value driver.

Exclusivity

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Standard retail Speed Champions set

Jay's Brick Blog: Not exclusive to any retailer; widely available. Part of standard 2018 Speed Champions wave.

Resale

Jay's Brick Blog: No specific resale expectation mentioned.

Brickset Reviews: Not explicitly stated, but the unique dark green colour and Bullitt reference suggest moderate collectibility.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

In this set (1)

1968 Ford Mustang Fastback Driver

Standout parts (per reviewers)

1x1 round plate with Ford logo printValue
Print rather than sticker; set includes two (one spare), reflecting LEGO's current approach to avoid stickers on small round pieces.
Hood scoop (Nexon Knight's shield insert piece)
Two openings at front appear intentional as air inlets; thoughtful repurposing of an existing element to suggest realistic detail.
Newer style fender
Curves under rather than extending straight down at widest points, improving car proportions and likely useful for other classic era vehicles.
Right/Left Plate 1X2 W/ Bow 45 Deg Cut
New element used to help capture the Mustang Fastback's iconic design
Round tile with printed Mustang logo (reflective)
Printed piece rather than sticker; lifts up the set in ways sticker cannot achieve. Comes as bonus spare tile.
Dark green color (premium shade)
Eye-catching, creates unmistakably tough yet classy aesthetic that evokes the Bullitt Mustang
