Thank you. Yes it is. The instructions were not In the box but a little Monogram flyer booklet advertising their other kits had a print date of 1966.

Thank you Al, Lee, Ray and David. The blue is the molded color. I was able to get the glue off without much trouble. And then coated it with Pledge. I just thought I should add a tail pipe. LOL!

Thank you Al, Rex and Michele. The big kit is compete Rex. But the windshield posts are broken at the bottom. I figured I could still piece it together if I decide to keep it. Heather, the woman I bought this stuff from. Is thrilled and is going to drive her Shelby to meet me so I can give my Shelby to her. I'm so happy she wants it. She wanted something like $15 for everything but she was so nice. I gave her quite a bit more. Recently divorced. I didn't want to take advantage of her. She did have a 1965 Mustang that had been up on blocks in a dry garage for 30 years. Body and frame had no rust at all. 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual. I should have grabbed it. But she sold it to a friend of hers for $1500. I hesitated when I shouldn't have. And I was going to offer her more as she had no idea what it was really worth. She also has her mom's 1975 plain Jane Camaro. Never saw rain or snow. That too is a 6 cilynder with a manual 3 speed. I tried to get that but she's not ready to sell.

A friend picked this up at an estate sale. A lot of glue. Parts glued in the wrong places. I decided to just clean it up and I liked the color. Painted the interior and top tan as I thought it looked better than white.

A month or so ago I met up with a woman who was selling a few model car kits. She and her ex husband both own Shelby Cobras. She actually took me to show them to me. Her’s was a 1968 and his I think a 1969 or 70. When met to exchange money. One model was of a cobra she had done years ago. Brush painted. Parts glued in the wrong places. You can see it in the last photo. I told her I was going to rebuild it for her and try and duplicate her Cobra. Here is the end result. I had bought the white GT 500 stripes but when I went to put them on. They fell apart. I just have no luck with decals.

I think the color is great.

Nice job.

Very cool.

Excellent!

Looks great Michele. It has a great stance to it.

looks awesome.

Luna is a beautiful girl. Lucky you. ?

I agree about the diorama. I had to really look to see that is wasn't real.

Picked these up at the local hobby shop. Try and throw business his way.

A while back I bought this group of models from a woman who owns a Shelby GT500. One of the Hertz rental Shelbys. She was a really sweet woman. She had a 1965 Mustang that has been up on blocks for 30 years that she was selling. I convinced her to show me the Mustang. Unfortunately she sold it to a friend. But there was her Shelby. And her ex-husbands Cobra Shelby. In the deal she included a Shelby model she did years ago. Brush painted green. Parts in the wrong places. So I told her I was going to take that model and recreate her Shelby. I couldn't find a source of spray can Ford Sunlit Gold. So I got it as close as I could. Here's the progress so far.

They are there to look at along with my built models.

Very nice.

Beautiful!

Nice.

Really nice Michele

Nice.

Really very nice.

Very cute.

I started scanning decals I had into my Fotki account so others could possibly make copies for themselves. https://public.fotki.com/ewetwo/model-car-decals/model-car-decals/page2.html

Really nice.
