Product Details Temp out of stock
The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 - Iconic Silver represents the Ford engineering philosophy applied to a vehicle that balances performance, refinement, and character in proportions defined by its era and market position. this model was developed to meet the demands of drivers who required capability and quality in equal measure, where chassis dynamics, powertrain response, and build precision were components of the complete driving experience rather than individual selling points. The engineering decisions behind its proportions, suspension geometry, and powertrain specification reflected an understanding of what drivers actually value at the controls of a well-developed machine. Its place in automotive history is assured by the consistency with which it delivered on the promise its design made.
The AUTOart 1:18 scale diecast model SKU 73096 captures the vehicle's character and proportion with the accuracy that has made AUTOart a benchmark for serious collectors. The body finish is applied with depth and consistency, preserving the surface quality and color character of the original. Wheels, tires, and stance are correctly scaled, communicating the car's engineering intent rather than a stylized interpretation. Opening panels reveal interior and mechanical detail executed with precision — seat textures, dashboard layout, instrument placement, and engine bay components are faithful to the production vehicle rather than generic approximations. The AUTOart Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 - Iconic Silver is a confident miniature of a machine that earned its reputation through honest engineering and deliberate development.

Carroll Shelby transformed the base Mustang into a serious performance machine beginning in 1965. The GT350 used a high-revving 289 cubic inch V8, fiberglass hood, and competition suspension. The GT500 introduced in 1967 brought the mighty 428 Police Interceptor engine. The 1968 GT500KR — King of the Road — remains one of the most desirable American muscle cars ever built, with original examples commanding six-figure prices at auction.
This 1/18 scale replica of the Ford Mustang Shelby in Silver is produced by AUTOart to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
