These are the Creative Masters 1965 Shelby GT350 and the GT350H rent-a- racer. Both are K-code 271hp 289s. The GT350 is, as expected , SCCA approved as a 2-seater sports car with the obligatory spare on the shelf with fire extinguisher and deleted grill replaced by mesh.. The insert on the C pillar of the GT350 has 4 faux vents. The GT350H, on the other hand is actually a 2+2 with a metal grill and, oddly, a simple glass (or Plexiglas?) insert on the C pillar which for weight reduction should have been the other way around. All in all, I was surprised the GT350H wasn't really as race prepared as I thought.

Excellent looking models. They are ones I've never seen in person.

Creative Masters tried to position themselves between the 1:18th makers/buyers, and that of the 1:24th makers/buyers.
