Here is a very nicely done 1/18 1966 Shelby Mustang from Shelby Collectibles. It looks great in deep blue with white racing stripes and the fastback styling is exceptionally nice. This real automobile would certainly attract the pretty young ladies in 1966 and the 1/18 diecast is a fine replica of the real car.

LOL, it is a diecast replica that if you see it for yourself, you are very likely to construct a reason why you really DO need it ! Roll Wink

I preferred the racing versions that I could custom decal but that's just me

@franklemire  Agreed, race versions are better because they have nicer, more realistic wheels than their stock issues - which tend to have "balloon-ish"  tires.

@chris,

Do the vent windows look too big to you? Or just me?

"Do the vent windows look too big to you, or is it just me?"

Oh no, it's not you - those vent windows are wacked  for sure, no question - terrible really.  😖 😔 🙁     But you know what we always say, "There are no perfect models."    Some are closer than others of course, but.....    🙄 🙄 🙄 

Oversized vent window for Steve
