'73 Mongoose II

Mattel became a associate sponsor by 1973, For the old rivalry " Snake vs Mongoo$e" times were tight for Mattel. They made alot of cost saving changes for 1972 and 1973. The Goo$e never drove the 'cuda style funny car, but Mattel issued just one cat for '73 it was the 'cuda. All cars for '73 got the new enamel paint, the "Mongoo$e" 'and "Snake" were no different. There were many cost cutting features one piece body, ,Missing windshield, enamel paint, wrong body for the Gooo$e, missing hood prop, one sticker sheet for both of "Mongoo$e" cars. These changes also affected the "Snake" too.

Flaming stickers for both cars.

No Special art work for "Mongoo$e vs Snake"
