That’s a 1/8 scale diecast. It’s typically a subscription type of diecast, you get a couple pieces every month. Nice cars, I forget the brand but they have horrible customer service and obtaining all the pieces is a challenge.

If you want the model shown in the ad this is the company selling the GT500 they show.
It's $1,600 https://www.model-space.com/us/build-ford-mustang-shelby-full-kit.html
The GT500 is out of stock but the GT40 is available - 2 year subscription $65 a month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT1dBGxCoAg
https://www.model-space.com/media/wysiwyg/PDFs_2019/Ford_GT_boost_web.pdf

BUYER BEWARE:

That ad is typical of the bait and switch Chinese. They show you a detailed 1/8 scale model that costs $100s of dollars hoping you won't read the fine print where they are sending you a 1/32 $2.99 POS die cast.

Anybody know what their "about us" page really says?

Does anyone think, (and I mean just "THINK" that because asking out loud would get you labeled a supporter of something called "The Constitution").... Why are we still doing business with China? or Why are we doing business with a communist country? or Why did the US allow companies to leave US for China and others in the first place? or Why do we vote with machines that are electronic and can be tampered with as easy as anyone can with a password software?

There's always the Lego option - but it's only a striped Mustang with a "Caution Fan" sticker.

The ads on Facebook and elsewhere are complete SCAMS. The car they show you is a large scale, much larger than 1/32. But what you see is not what you get. You pay $35 for the small $7.00 model they send you. And note the names of the  various sellers are stupid in the extreme, such as "Grapefruitsu-Store" and the like. C'mon, folks - you really think you can sell this crap?

There is a forum member there that was building the same high end subscription type diecast model. He started a thread about it. I haven't read any posts about it for over a year I think. I wonder if he ever finished or can shed some light on the process.

For me at least, sometimes less is more. The 1:64 scale may be less risk but equal reward. I am liking my modified Cobra hauler. Finding the blue Hertz was a bit of an ordeal.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

That load must be February 1966 with 843 (top front) on it's way to Hertz LA from High Performance Motors.

Yes, I tried to make it as period correct as possible.  Finding the hauler was not easy either.  I am planning another hauler in Viking blue and loading it up with Cobras but all I can find are 427s in the 1:64 size.  The 289 doesn't get the love like the 427.  But it was the 289 that brought home the championships...

That GT40 is tempting. It might be time for the grandson to graduate from Legos.
He'll have to stick to 1/24 plastic. Decided against it shipping and tax brings it to almost $1800.
