MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

2007 Shelby GT-500 — 2012 V5599

Yellow-and-silver stripes and a bold 28 roundel break up the purple metalflake paint. The yellow-edged J5 wheels are a useful identifier: they differ from the blue-rimmed PR5 wheels on the yellow Code Cars release.

This release and its companions

Choosing one for your collection

Inspect the yellow rim edges and the white door circle for wear. Use a cabin view to check the gray interior, and a top view to see the silver-and-yellow striping without side reflections hiding it.

The loose photograph does not identify which card presentation originally held the car. A packaging claim needs a picture of that package.

Collector questions

Is the purple Mystery car another version of this release?

No. The 2009 Mystery car carries 09 and gold 10SP wheels. This 2012 Code Cars version carries 28 and yellow-rimmed J5 wheels.
