Hi all,

You already know about the car features, so here's the look at the new colors:

Yeah, I know two are chase cars, but for those that haven't seen the chase cars, now you know what to look for!

Pretty nice looking. I've seen those at KMART. Nice pics Joe :thumbsup:

 

[Dadvball]

Forgive my ignorance, but I haven't seen the originals in a store yet. Which ones are the chase cars?

white interiors

Who makes these? Are they in any way related to the company that does chase cars with white interiors, or wheels/tires, bases? If they aren't, then boy, how original an idea for a chase car.

all i can say is WOW! i will he hitting up the local Kmarts the next couple of days. i can't wait to get my hands on those eleanors! i am not even a ford guy but still bought all of the first release. i had no idea a second release was even in the works. just when i said i was going to stop buying for awhile for the exception of my top 10 list. it now looks like it is going to be a top 16 list.

The 10 spoke wheels were optional. The colors in this series aint doing nothing for me. A red 68 with white stripes and 66 white with blue stripes I would have killed for. These, I'll probably pass unless the colors look much better in person.

I bought the first series, but I think that will do. Not really digging the colors.

 

[STUTZ]

Looks like I'll be buying the second series.

Thanks for the pics Joe.

I like the colors, just don't like the two with gold stripes.

Correct me if I'm wrong but werent' the HERTZ, which is were the "H" models come in, only available in white/gold, black/gold and a dark green/gold stripe?

From what I can remember the red and blue cars only had the side stripes. They did not have the le mans stripes.

I should add, I think they made 50 red and 50 blue cars. I can't remember how many of any other color.

 

[jlspec]

Are these still KMart only and any idea when they will be released?
Thanks

 

[Quantum]

When are the Cobras being released?

 

[Horseplay]

Any online stores have em ?

 

[yoodz]

Great new colors! Also waiting for the Cobras (427 & Daytona)

 

[SD64]

Its great to see more of these on the way. Too bad I never saw any of the first series in my local Kmart. I guess I'll need to hit up another one of the great members here to send me some. I'm not sure I want all of these. I'll definitely be passing on the pink '68. I love these cars, but I wish they would get the Lemans stripes to be a little closer together like the 1:1's

"By December 21, Shelby American knew that the first 200 units would be black with gold stripes and that the subsequent 800 units would be built in a variety of Shelby's 1966 color options. What had begun as a longshot sales call evolved into what would become forty-two percent of Shelby American's assembly efforts for 1966. And Shelby GT-350s, unknown to the nation twelve months earlier, suddenly would appear at more than fifty airport rental facilities, Hertz Sports Car Club Centers, coast to coast."

Just a note about availability--Amy stated that these new colors are on order, and will be sold in sets (not doing singles) at the shopshelby.com store.
