Ya, I wish they had the color combo available... ! It looks good on this car.

They do but greenlite re-badges it as Shelby Collectable. Check eBay they're on there all the time.

I have the Grabber Blue one and it is way way way better quality than the Shelby Collectibles junk, the Greenlight ones are much nicer. They are not the same model.

1 bad bullitt,

Thanks for posting pictures of yours. I will have to buy a blue one just like that too. The gray one doesn't look as nice as yours does... ! ;-)

 

[MirageSVT]

I wonder why the Grey's a "limited edition" run of only 999 diecast pieces with only 360 in the US. [shrug]

The Shelby Collectables are not on the same level as the Greenlites, but I'm pretty sure they are made by GL. If you want black with blue, Shelby Collectables is the only one out there right now. GL is an "OK" brand in terms of detail, not great, not bad, just OK. Unfortunately only Greenlite is licensed by Ford AND Shelby (other than Shelby themselves) to reproduce models of the current GT500 so they are likely the only company that will be making them for a little while.
If you want to see REAL quality in terms of detail in die casts, look into AutoArt and GMP to name a few.

Here's a small glimpse of my collection;

Then here's a shot of my parents basement where my old man's collection sleeps. This is a few years old, there's MUCH more now. Most that have seen it, once they can regain they're ability to speak, refer to it as The Museum. He's a little on the obsessive side, but he's my go to guy when it comes to Die Casts.

PistolWhip,

Damn that is quite a collection. I would love to build a model car collection room for myself someday. 3/4 of my collection is Auto Art stuff. Their Super Stallion is a nice piece, I just wish they made a 03/04 COBRA for us to buy... ! They do however make a 05-09 GT500 that looks pretty good.

I'll pass the cudos to him, he'll appreciate it. He's been collecting for about 12 or 13 years now. Once I moved out of the house (about 8 years ago) the whole basement which was my man space, became his "show room." It's pretty amazing down there. I'll try to get some pics of the "Ford Case" when I go over there on Sunday.

Wow thats a big collection!!!

Has anyone every seen a Black with Alloy stripe car? Ive looked everywhere and had no luck.

 

[PistolWhip]

There cheap enough to paint them yourself if you have any painting ability. They come apart fairly easily and if you get the one that's already black, you'll just need to tape off the stripes, ruff em up a bit them spray right over the blue stripes with your color of choice. That or you can take the easy route and stripe it with vinyl. I'm gonna grab two of the GL cars and paint one of them white with grabber to match my car. The only hard part is getting the interior part off the doors.

it's a 2010 right? Kevin?

Some upcoming Autoart releases:
72921 1/18 FORD MUSTANG COBRA JET 2009 (WHITE W/LIVERY)
72911 1/18 FORD MUSTANG GT 2010 (STERLING GREY METALLIC/WHITE STRIPES)
72912 1/18 FORD MUSTANG GT 2010 (KONA BLUE METALLIC/WHITE STRIPES)

72918 1/18 FORD SHELBY GT500 2010 (BLACK/SILVER STRIPES)
72919 1/18 FORD SHELBY GT500 2010 (PERFORMANCE WHITE/RED STRIPES)

Greenlight GT500s are a great value considering that the Autoarts run around $100 - $110 for new Mustang releases.

 

[PistolWhip]

I can't wait for the AutoArts. My dad is probably keeping that info from me as he usually likes to surprise me with an AA diecast for my birthday or christmas. I'll definitely be grabbing one or two of those on that list.

It's hard to tell the 2010 & 2011 models apart. I'm not sure but from the width of the stripes it looks like the 2010.

In that case, I will pass on the Green light & wait for the Auto Art... :-D

You can also just remove the existing stripes with some non-acetone nail polish remover. Apply some to a q-tip and brush on the stripe. It won't hurt the car paint because the cars are clear coated and then the stripes are applied over the clear.
