These guys are still around? Well, if you are a classic race fan, Shelby Collectibles still offers up a bargain by today’s standards. The latest offering is the 1:18 metal and opening #4 1967 Mercury GT40 MKII – Daytona 24-Hour replica. The best part, its retail is less than $75 US! This model will be on shelves sometime in Q3 2024.

ACME.recently bought the rights to Shelby Collectibles…… we’ll be seeing more of them!!
so… basically they bought the “rights” to use Exoto bootleg toolings
Ha!
Dommage que l intérieur soit faux .
The instrumentation without decals and the central gear lever… and let’s not talk about the bonnet cables molded into the bodywork. Well done, really good. :-D
I don’t understand why they never painted the headlight unit black and instead made them all silver. I don’t recall ever seeing a GT40s with a silver headlight surround (unless it was body colour matched) and to my eye the silver .makes an otherwise decent model look cheap.
