Product Description
1/18 ACME 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Reynolds Ford (White with Blue Stripes) Diecast Car Model
A Texan, a racer and a sportscar builder, Carroll Shelby joined forces with the Ford Motor Company in 1965 to create the ‘’father of muscle phenomenon’’, a tremendous version of the Mustang that was made to tear up the racetrack but also cruise the streets.
In addition to the GT40 and Cobra programs, Ford commissioned Shelby to create an uprated Mustang to compete in the SCCA B-Production Championship. Thanks to various weight-saving measures, the GT350 tipped the scales at 224 lbs. less than a regular V8-engined Mustang. Performance was further improved thanks to an array of chassis modifications and a tuned 306bhp motor.
