The release of Shelby collectibles?... man, they seem to come out and disappear really quickly

Just curios about the wheels they used on the low end, small carded ones that I think went straight to Dollar Trees?
I have this one I changed the wheels on, the bodies seemed pretty accurate but remember the wheels and the stance being not good.

Dug this one out, think I will adjust the width of where the tires fir, so they are not sticking out of the wheel wells so much.

I found a few of them back then as well - 2016 at Dollar Tree. This one is still 1:64 scale and fitted with rubber wheels.

I liked the Shelby Collectibles as well..
At the time they were only available at Walmart stores...
... Shelby collectibles..... my thoughts at the time was how many could they make? I felt numbers were going to be limited.
So I pretty much collected them all..

Now that I see those wheels, I think they weren't bad, just the wide stance... and I needed to use them on another project. (I don't think those are rubber tho...)

II know they also made the bigger carded ones that were more expensive, still have this one...

I think you are right about the blue cobra. I will have to check them again. At first I thought they were the same but later on I noticed the early issues had the rubber tires. This latter (?) card version is no longer 1:64 scale with plastic wheels. I think the rear wheel set is also slightly smaller than the front on this casting.

I remember finding the early ones at K-Mart - they were always at the end of the toy aisle away from the other diecast for some reason. I know I bought quite a few of them in the day but then those were the days when I was buying most everything on the pegs from any and all brands. 😎

This one has nicer but still plastic wheels. And even though it is labled 1:64 these were a little bit bigger than the first issues. Notice the number in the tracking code box above the UPC code starts with a different (model) # sequence and may end in an earlier date sequence than the red GT above.
