Two versions, a street widebody in white with blue strips and the Gulf livery LeMans winner #9, at least to start with. I really don't like being told something is in stock when it's not, ordered mine a while ago, said it was shipped last week but UPS tracking still not showing anything and retailer has not responded to my questions yet, I know holidays and all but still, it was shipped or it wasn't. For $39 they actually look pretty good (in pictures at least).

Wow, I've gotta ck this out. There are stories I could share about when my youngest brother 'volunteed' me at the Palos Verde Concourse years ago ! He did it because Carrol Shelby was there and my bro wanted his autograph. Wow..what a day we had !!! It'd take too long here to describe our day. Let's just say that it was a highlight of my life !!!

Great looking cases, Josh...I really need to get a Ferrari P3/4...such a killer looking car.

Who did you order the GT40 from? I got mine from American Excellence...ordered 12/10 & had it by 12/18. Many of their models come from Germany, not their North Carolina...which is why shipping is a bit longer.

That being said, I'm thrilled with the GT40. For the price point (under $50 shipped), I think its an excellent model & displays very well with my other GT40's...and is in a different universe from the old UH/Jouef model I have.

GMP did make 1/18 versions of those Mustang & Camaros too...

They're older, so not the most detailed, but they look great on display.

Good to hear from someone who has held it in their hands, I ordered mine from American excellence too, first ordered it from ebay, promised before Christmas, canceled that when they changed it to middle or end of January, they sent me the wrong tracking number, finally heard back from them and checked new number, should be here by end of day tomorrow, I have been holding a place for it with the Solido Shelby GT500 in white with blue stripes and the Norev white Cobra. Will post some pix tomorrow or Sunday!

Your a lucky man, love them both. They are way too high priced now, when you can find them!

Looking forward to seeing it in the display. The wheels &

tires & especially well done...with tire brand & locations (RR, RF, etc) markings. Don't see that at this price point often.
