Shelby Collectibles GT500

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!

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

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

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