They look pretty good too. I haven't had any luck with finding them at any of the ratshacks around here. The 2006 looks pretty tough.

what difference is there from the '65 and the gt500? to me they look the same, just with different paint jobs...

They really ARE different.
1967 Shelby GT 500: Sits pretty well tucked on Base/SE chassis. Seperate front bumper (chrome) and lower facia panel. Agressive header panel, hoodscoop, foglights, moderate fender flares, windshield wipers more visible, Rear brake cooler scoop, 1/4 window scoop, spoiler, Shelby taillights, seperate rear bumper (chrome), exhaust hangs under rollpan, has passenger side mirror, stripes, shelby logos. Cool rims.
1965 GT: Sits nose high as hell on a SE chassis, slightly better but not really on a base chassis. "F O R D" on leading edge of hood, Molded on front bumper (not seperate and chrome), less agressive header panel, Pony in corral instead of foglights in grille, less visible windshield wipers, less curvey roofline, no side brake cooler scoop, 1/4 window has louvers not scoop, base model taillights (not Shelby's thunderbird units), uses exhaust cutouts in body instead of having both, no spoiler, no passenger side mirror, slightly different shape rear window, subtle fender flares. Overall much less cartoonishly agressive. Came with ugly rims.
GT-R Concept. Uh, riced out, pseudo agressive. I never found an '05 Mustang zz to compare it with.
GT-R body **NOT** on a chassis. Don't pick on my Wide-5 steelies on the '65 pony, I was too lazy to put other caps on.

I like the aggresive shape of the headlights on the Shelby, but otherwise that '65 looks to have more accurate body lines, particularly the rear quarter panels. 
I think maybe, I just might kinda want one of these body sets, even if they are Fords. Give my Camaros something to run down.

Biggest thing this shows is that Radio Shack is taking FULL advantage of thier licence w/ ford and the Mustang. How many does this make? 6 7 diffent Mustang Zip Zaps?

The '71 in the muscle car tuner set, the GT concept, the '67 Shelby, and now the this body set.
