Eleanor
Thinking about getting the mustang from the movie gone in 60 seconds - who did the better version - green light or Shelby collectibles ?
Are there other brands I should be looking at in 1/18 scale ?
Thanks

Truman, I'll presume you're talking about the '2nd' movie/car version - the '67.
I've got the Shelby Collectibles version and it's very sharp.
But, the other day I happen to notice something while cleaning it. The rear license plate reads 'GT 500E' on my SC-version.
The rear plate on the Greenlight version reads 'LYN 274' which I believe is correct from the movie....and more authentic.
You won't go wrong with either one.
The kicker?....I'm a Chevy-guy!!!! LOL! But, I love 'ELEANOR'!

Billy, does it look like they used the same moulds for any parts?

Can't answer that; I'd have to see 'both' in front of me to know.
