Mega-G+ 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 HO Slot Car

Only 1,377 of the 1966 GT350s were ever built. This Ivy Green example with White Racing Stripes represents one of the model’s most desirable color combinations, with Ivy Green accounting for roughly 17.8% of total production.

To understand the significance of the 1966 GT350, you first have to know its predecessor, the ’65. That earlier model confirmed Shelby’s reputation for race-bred performance and made the evolution into the 1966 model year especially important, as Shelby broadened the GT350’s appeal without sacrificing its identity.

While mechanical details such as the dash-mounted tach, Cobra dress-up components, and performance upgrades helped distinguish the ’66 from the original ’65, it was the expansion of exterior colors and Shelby’s unmistakable visual identity that most defined the model. Finished here in Ivy Green with White Racing Stripes, this example captures the look that made the GT350 instantly recognizable and highly sought-after by collectors.

Top Racing Stripes were optional, not standard equipment, so it is entirely correct to see original cars either with or without them. We chose stripes. Paired with the rich Ivy Green finish and chrome Shelby wheels made by Cragar, the result is a GT350 with an unmistakable presence and period-correct appeal.

Become a part of history and drive in style with the 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 in Ivy Green with White Racing Stripes.

Mega G+ CHASSIS

This new Mega G+ chassis doesn’t just go faster or handle better than the competition. And it doesn’t just have the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth. It’s smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built.

We wanted wheel to wheel racing, lap after lap, the feel of driving a real car. But we couldn’t do it by just changing the chassis. We had to create a whole new system…
