Well, just received the "newer" model of the Shelby Collectibles GT500 in grabber orange w/ black stripes as well as the concept version GT500 from Autoart in White w/blue stripes. I could not believe the improvement over the other models and comparing to the AutoArt GT500. They added the right wheels, correct (or close) headlights and taillights. I added some pics to compare.
See for yourself!

 

Here's a few more
enjoy

 

awesome comparison, looks like I started something!

 

Thanks Luke! and yes, you did start something

 

I wish I could afford the money and space for these bigger models! I can't get over the amount of details!

 

I never really liked Shelby Collectibles.

For example, take a look at this one. They're expecting from people to pay $50 for this?

 

Yeah the wheels are all wrong and it's not much better looking that the Hotwheels one.

 

Well, I thought the same thing until they came out with an updated model of the GT500 (the one i bought). They fixed the wheels, and most of the other things they screwed up in the first batch. If they wouldn't have come up with the one I bought, I wasn't even considering getting one. And I got mine for 32.95 so not bad really.
Hopefully they can keep making their models more and more accurate, but who knows.
One things for sure they're no match for autoart

 

I keep seeing the 1/18 scale 07 GTs and GT500s with accurate rims and alll and I am sooo tempted LOL

 

Where did yo uget it so cheap? I want to get the Black with Silver stripes GT but am unsure of the quality.

 

K-Mart, of all places. I picked up 4, all different, Shelby Collectables including the Hertz. $28.99.

 

I have ordered the exact one you're talking about. Should be here next week, I'll post the pics when I get it

 

Thanks beo, cheapest I've found online is $50, let me know if you
found a better deal

 

I found this site not too long ago:

https://www.diecastmustangs.com/Sear...y+Collectibles

And if you're into ebay'ing well this one is pretty cheap; 30$ + shipping

But like I said you can wait to see mine first if you want just to see what you think...should be here anytime now!

 

That's how much my Kmart has a orange and red GT500 for...I may breakdown and buy one.

 

Jesse, which GT are you talking about? GT500 black w/ silver, Shelby GT Black w/ silver or Mustang GT Black with silver? Here's the link to a Mustang GT http://www.collectablediecast.com/in...OD&ProdID=2549

Either way, I have found whichever one you're talkin about

 

Thanks man, I want to see some better pics than those on the websites and to answer your question I am looking for the Black Shelby GT.

As a tip I just bought a all glass display case for my diecasts and it only cost $60! Solid construction, 14 x 14 shelves... beautiful

 

Where did you get it? I need something for mine.

Thanks

 

Yes, how about if all of you show us what you are using to display your collectables. No pressure!

 

Anyone???
