These are two of the best castings to come out in 2007. The Shelby Collectibles 1/64 Ford Shelby GT500 (red) and the Greenlight 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 (white). Both cars are pretty identical in size and casting proportions. Both have RR tires and accurate GT500 rims. Here is my photo review. Enjoy...

Side by side. The SC has clear headlights. The GL has the Cobra logo in the grille. Both are accurate to the real thing though.




Rear: Both highly detailed. The SC car has the 'shelby' lettering spaced too far apart. The SC has clear plastic taillights. A nice touch.


Engines: Both cars has opening hoods. They each have separate plastic part engine pieces. The SC has the correct strut tower brace.


Interior detailing: The SC has colored red seat inserts. Also doors that open. The GL does not.



Verdict: And the winner is....Shelby Collectibles!!! :10:

 

Didn't your mother teach you to never open a collectible, LOL. I just got a dozen Hot Wheels GT500 today, still have not seen the Shelby release

 

the front fender cobra emblems are facing different directions.....also....white one does not have stripes on the back side of the ducktail...and it has the mirror delete option....but they are still cool!

 

Good eyes on the Cobra badges!

 

I, personally like the Greenlight one, and if you find a green machine, then you have a very rare piece!!

 

yeah, one of seventy cars made!

 

Guess I shouldn't have taken mine out of the package. I've got this one ('67 GT-500) and Tower is selling it for $47.99. I saw some at the store last weekend. Guess I'm on a mission this weekend to find any remaining ones.

somethin' seriously is wrong with that...They are not that rare.

 

Yeah, I didn't think so. But I picked up another just in case Actually I picked up a few things. I seem to have quite an addiction lately.

 

Shelby Collectibles sucks. I seen few of their models in 1:18 and they're just horrible.

 

I thought the quality of the 1:18's was decent for the price. Actually, the 1:64's were great out of box too. I mean, they're not GMP or anthing, but they're also $30 as opposed to $120. Here's a few pics of one of mine in a lightbox I built yesterday.

 

Autoart makes much nicer 1:18 models for the same price.

 

Thats kinda what I thought. I just seen a whole peg of them at the store. Can you imagine paying that and then going in the store and finding it for $3.99? I'd be sick and then I'd be dead if my wife found out.

 

Really? Where are you finding the AutoArt GT500 for $29.99? I'd replace my CS version in a heartbeat.

 

Where did you get 1:18 Shelby Collectibles for that much? I paid $55 for '67 Eleanor and their Shelby GT500 is about same price in the stores.

 

I got my Eleanor at Kmart for 29.99.

 

One of these?

 

Yup...

 

Wow, that's really cheap.

I should visit Wal-Mart more often.

 

Yup. I got the 2 07 GT-500's, 1 '67 GT-500, and 1 GT-H, all $29.99 at K-Mart.
