1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-500 - Candy Apple Red (Ertl) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
The '69 Shelby GT500 represented the last full production year of the illustrious line of Shelby Mustangs, as '70s models were actually left-over '69s with stripes and a front spoiler, but the model did its best to assure that while it might be gone, it wouldn't be forgotten. Under the exclusive five-scooped hood the 428 Cobra Jet engine utilized finned-aluminum Cobra valve covers and intake manifold along with a ram-induction air cleaner and Holley four-barrel to clock 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds, and the 1/4 mile in 12.8 seconds. The era may have ended, but the legend lived on!

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 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby in Red is produced by Ertl 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.
