Franklin Mint 2007 Shelby GT500 Diecast Replica

February 15th, 2007 by CobraMatt

Diecast replicas have never really been my thing and I actually only own one with it being a Yellow Ferrari I recieved for Christmas a few years back from a family member.  Come to think of it why did they buy me a Ferrari diecast when my whole family knows I am into Mustangs.  That always happens to me at Christmas, I am a die hard Mustang and Ford guy and some aunt or uncle always buys me a Chevy hat or BMW key chain, sometimes I just don’t get it.

Anyway back to the subject at hand, the Franklin Mint, Ford Motor Company and Carroll Shelby have teamed up to offer a new 2007 Shelby GT500 diecast model that is limited to 5,000 pieces. It is crafted in 1:24 scale and is being offered in Vista Blue with White stripes.  All the bells and whistles that come with typical diecast models are included like opening doors, hood, and trunk.  If you are looking to buy head over to SteedShop.com where you can pre-order this item for $118.99.
