[bonehead]

Bought this during the initial production release and have not even taken it out of the packaging from the distributor. So, I don't have any actual pics of the model. I'll have to open the box to make sure that's what's actually in there Too many model cars, not enough display space. This particular color is not currently available and prices range from $230 to $300+ on eBay.

$200 plus shipping.


Ford GT 2015 N. American Int. Auto Show - Liquid Blue

The all new & redesigned Ford GT had its unexpected surprise Debut at the Detroit Auto Show January 2015. Ford overhauled and redesigned the Ford GT with plans to have a competitive vehicle in the supercar Market. Extensive research and development went into designing this car for the purpose of showing the world that they too can build an awe inspiring supercar. Ford has plans to return to the 24 hours of Le Mans race in 2016 with hopes to secure another win, as they did 50 years earlier with the iconic Ford GT40. The Ford GT is sure to rival many other supercars with its exotic looks and amazing performance. This stunning new supercar is powered by a 3.5 liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine making more than 600 horsepower and will exhibit one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any production car.

1:18 scale resin closed-body model.

Actually, Maisto has had a Liquid Blue version out for quite some time (6+ mos.) that is part of their 'Special Edition' line - https://www.amazon.com/Maisto-Speci...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=T0B3R6P4DPTTVSCMVDXA

I have the Liquid Blue and Yellow w/Black Stripe versions.

I am still waiting on Spirit to release their Black 'Heritage' version - https://gts-models.com/en/gt097/231-ford-gt.html - They state that Ford hasn't approved the 'rights' to release them yet.

FWIW, I have both the top speed and the Maisto Special edition, and the top speed is a nicer die cast.

I was referring to just the TopSpeed version. I'm sure there are other blue ones out there. As I mentioned, I haven't even opened the one I'm selling, so I can't comment on quality. But there's a reason I let my 5 year old son play with Maisto die casts and not touch the other ones
