Yeah, i seriously never thought it would be so hard to get one.I'll be on the look out for one for you. I know there isn't a shipment of the Shelby Collectibles 2013 GT500s until 9/30/20. You might be able to find one on eBay, but I think there are only a couple on there now, but they are both damaged ones.

Yup, I have a 03 cobra, 08 GT500, 2010 super snake GT500 and a 2000 cobra R, so a 2013 GT500 would go perfectly with them.That is because they are now out of print. The vendor I was talking about that is getting a shipment is probably getting a small order and I can't be sure how many will be available for sale and how many have been pre-sold if that is how the vendor is doing it. I am only guessing here, but Shelby Collectibles probably stopped making the 2013 GT500 models because of extremely poor quality control. From what I can tell many of them were not made very well. A lot of the ones I see for sale have a lot of the plastic interior pieces fall off like the rearview mirror, headliner, sideview mirror, & windshield, and other various parts loosely connected or not properly glued on.
I'm not sure why they didn't just correct the batch, it might be due to lack of sales or something of that nature. I've personally been trying to find a black one with matte black stripes, but at this point, it's just kind of take what you can get.
Their 2013 Boss 302 looks really nice though and hopefully that model doesn't have any quality control issues.
If you're an owner of the same car though like yourself, it's a must-have though, so I totally get it. Just like how it took me forever to find a Welly 1:18 1986 Mustang GT. I have a couple that cost me $15 back when they were sold in stores, but now they are insanely rare and sell for $200-$250+ if you can find it, but since I had an 86' GT I just had to have the model.
I've contacted a major diecast seller and they have a shipment incoming 9/30/20. I emailed them since I thought the 2013 GT500 was out of print, and they told it was only what their U.S. distributor has told them and nothing is final until the shipment is in their warehouse. Although this is promising, I am still questionable about the validity of this. The only thing I can do is wait until 9/30/20 to see if this shipment actually comes into their warehouse. It is possible this is a left-over supply another party has and this diecast seller is receiving the supply, but I really don't know.
For anyone interested, I can get the Shelby Collectible's Boss 302, in GHIG, PW, RR, GB, and SBY. I don't have many left in any color. Maybe 4-5 in each color, and none shipping until the end of September.
i kick myself for not grabbing them (and Boss 302) when i had the chance for $50!
I saw them. Kinda expensive but I will prob buy one .. ha
