Question about the 67 Shelby GT-500

Maybe someone can set me strait on this...I'm refering to all plastic chassis cars.

So, who's correct?

I would trust the wiki more as HWC seems really out of date compared to it. From looking at the Wiki though, it looks like all the mainline versions of this car were with a plastic chassis but the collector series versions were with a metal chassis.

So from that knowledge, I would say that HWC only included mainline cars while the Wiki also does collector series.

Yep, it was originally released in the Modern Classics series, which I think were Metal/Metal. Then it came to the Mainline with a plastic base.

The one racing in the league is metal/plastic. It's on the heavy side because the body is massive, much bigger than comparable Mustangs. It's just a beefy car.

Thanks to all for the clarification.

Yea, that body must be pretty heavy. I kind of figured as much because DCR lists a similar unmodified car with a metal chassis weighing in @ 56g...obviously a 'Modern Classics' version.
