About the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Light Blue Metallic With White Stripes AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500, in Light Blue Metallic with white racing stripes, reproduces Carroll Shelby's big-block interpretation of Ford's pony car. Doors, hood and trunk open. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage. A hood scoop and stripe treatment that defined Shelby's visual language for decades.
By 1967 Shelby had moved beyond the small-block GT350 to install Ford's 428 big-block into the Mustang platform, creating the GT500 and setting a template of hood scoops and racing stripes that Shelby cars still wear today.
AUTOart's Build and Opening Panels on the GT500
This diecast carries the heft expected of a well-executed 1:18 Mustang, and the Light Blue Metallic paint against crisp white stripes highlights the fastback's long hood and functional scoop cleanly under a display lamp. Doors, hood and trunk open, revealing the big-block V8 that separated the GT500 from a standard Mustang GT, along with a cabin trimmed with the wood-rimmed wheel and extra gauges Shelby specified. Panel gaps around the fastback roofline and rear spoiler stay consistent, and the stripe application shows clean, sharp edges rather than a soft-registered tampo. This copy is a used model, box showing traces of storage; the model itself carries none of that wear.
Shelby's Impact on the Mustang Story
Carroll Shelby's involvement turned the Mustang from a strong seller into a genuine performance brand, and the GT500's big-block power gave it credibility the smaller GT350 lacked on the street. For any muscle-car collection, a 1967 GT500 represents the moment Shelby's Mustangs became about raw power as much as handling.
Where the GT500 Fits a Muscle Collection
Paired with a GT350 or a standard GT fastback, this GT500 shows the range Shelby built from a single Ford platform, a strong addition for any 1960s American performance display.
