M2 1:24 Mustangs: Shell, Gulf, Pro Street and Weathered Shelby Compared

Published September 23, 2026 by Muncle Mikes

Dark-blue M2 1970 Ford Mustang Custom number 1 with Gulf Oil orange graphics, item 40300-135B

Choose the Mustang’s year and trim before choosing its graphics. A 1966 Mustang 2+2 GT, a Pro Street Fastback, a 1970 Mustang Custom and a Shelby GT350 are different M2 releases, even when all are offered in 1:24.

The choices below suit four display preferences: Shell decoration, a bright Pro Street treatment, Gulf Oil graphics, or a weathered Shelby presentation. They are finished models rather than paint or assembly kits.

Shell Mustang 2+2 GT: white and yellow, number 57

The 1966 Shell Oil Mustang, item 40300-133A, is white with yellow stripes and number 57. Choose it when you want the 1966 GT identity and that advertising-themed finish.

Its listing specifies opening hood, doors and trunk, positionable wheels and rubber tires. Approximate dimensions are 7.25 × 2.75 × 2 inches. The number and graphics identify the miniature; they do not establish a particular race win or driver association.

Pro Street Fastback: pink with blue and yellow stripes

The 1966 Pro Street Fastback 2+2, item 40300-121B, is the option for the brighter pink, blue and yellow presentation.

It shares the Shell listing’s approximate dimensions and listed opening hood, doors and trunk. Choose between them by the vehicle description and visible factory styling, not an unsupported assumption that one has superior construction.

Pro Street wording does not promise a race-ready mechanism, powered operation or the exact equipment of another M2 Pro Street vehicle. Inspect the photos for the stance and wheel appearance you prefer.

Gulf Mustang Custom: the 1970 subject

The 1970 Mustang Custom, item 40300-135B, combines a dark-blue body, orange Gulf Oil graphics and number 1.

It is a different represented year from the two 1966 Mustangs. Choose it when you want that body and theme, rather than treating Gulf decoration as the only difference.

The listing specifies opening hood, doors and trunk, positionable wheels and approximate dimensions of 7.5 × 2.5 × 2.25 inches. For a gift, retain “1970 Custom” and the item number in your notes.

Weathered Shelby GT350: a new model with a rusted-style finish

The 1966 Shelby GT350, item 40300-107A, is listed as new with Ivy Green paint, Wimbledon White stripes and a “Rusted” presentation.

That finish designation is part of the offered model, not a statement that the collectible is used. Choose it when you specifically want the weathered look. Someone seeking a clean, glossy Shelby display may prefer a different release rather than treating this effect as a defect-free substitute for one.

Opening hood, doors and trunk and positionable wheels are listed. Approximate dimensions are 7.375 × 3 × 2.325 inches. This guide does not attribute the appearance to natural corrosion or a particular full-size car’s history.

Which Mustang should you buy?

Choose Shell for the white-and-yellow 1966 GT, Pro Street for the bright pink Fastback, Gulf for the dark-blue 1970 Custom, or the Shelby for its GT350 identity and deliberate weathered presentation.

The listings describe diecast models with plastic components. Price or a production quantity alone does not establish better paint quality or guaranteed collector value. Match the vehicle you want, then review the current offer and package photographs.
