MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

Shelby GT-500 — 2010 R8501 Metallic Silver

Large 5 roundels on the hood and doors give the silver Speed Machines Shelby a race-car look. Blue rally stripes run over the top, and the small front-fender graphics add more detail than the plain striped debut versions. The black CM6 wheels have bright rims.

Look beyond the rally stripes

R8501 is the metallic-silver 2010 Speed Machines release. The catalog records smoke-tinted windows, a black interior, a black plastic base and Malaysian production. The wheel design is CM6; this guide does not infer a tire material from the dark wheel faces.

Choosing one for your collection

Look closely at the door roundels, small fender printing and blue stripes over the raised hood vents. Check the bright rims for wear, particularly if the listing photograph makes the wheel centers look nearly featureless.

The reference is a loose-car view. It shows the silver-and-blue configuration without its original Speed Machines packaging.

Collector questions
