Packaging details
The event identification rests on the car’s reported hood lettering and roof logo. On a carded or event-supplied example, inspect the vehicle itself and match the pearl-white body and metallic-blue stripes before treating the packaging as supporting context.
Value research
Compare pearl-white examples only when photographs show the stripe color, wheels and event marks. A white Shelby without the reported hood and roof decoration is not an equivalent comparison.
Collector FAQs

The cataloged pearl-white finish and metallic-blue stripes, plus the reported Toy Fair hood lettering and Mattel roof logo.

The catalog references do not establish a separate toy number for this event entry.

No. Published Toy Fair descriptions differ on some paint and trim wording, so compare the full car and event markings.
Sources
The Hot Wheels Wiki ’07 Shelby GT-500 variation record and the Hot Wheels Newsletter Shelby checklist both describe Toy Fair versions, but their paint and trim wording is not fully consistent. This entry follows the pearl-white and metallic-blue catalog description; the hood and roof marks remain important identification clues.
