KENNER 5.0 MUSTANG REBUILD - Video

In Todays video we fix up a Kenner Fast 1's Ford Mustang.

In the early 1980s, when Kenner—famous for Star Wars figures and Play-Doh—dared to challenge the diecast giants Hot Wheels and Matchbox, they launched the Fast 111s lineup around 1980 with a clever twist: each tiny 1/64-scale car came with customizable, peel-and-stick license plates representing different U.S. states (and even some Canadian provinces), letting kids claim their miniature ride as uniquely "theirs." Among the standout models was the King Cobra, a snarling interpretation of the Fox-body Ford Mustang Cobra, featuring exaggerated off-road flair with beefy black wheels, chrome side pipes, a prominent rear spoiler, and—most memorably—a wild, oversized green cobra snake decal slithering menacingly across the hood and sides, often in eye-popping colors like lime green or metallic silver-grey against a chrome base and red interior. This over-the-top, cartoonish muscle car captured the era's love for bold customs and high-speed fantasy, and while the Fast 111s line fizzled out after just a few years (with a handful of molds even migrating to Matchbox later), the Mustang King Cobra endures as a quirky, collectible relic of Kenner's brief but ambitious stab at dominating the toy car world.
