Scale is 1:11, Features 90 degree V8 fake engine, steering, 4 speed transmission, double wishbone front / live axle rear suspension and everything that should open, does. Except the glovebox.

The steering parts are those little 3L ones from a few years ago, which fit within these wheels for reasonable steering geometry at the expense of decent lock. Still, at least the wheels don't rub the sides of the close fitting arches.

The shift plate from 8880 is just superb - such a nice gearchange! Now we just need one in black....

It's the '66 model GT350 with side window in place of the '65's louvres. Also without the '67-on extra metal grafted on the ends.

Also, seats slide, tilt forward and recline. Well, the front ones do. The rear ones just sit there...

Love it. Instantly recognisable. I've been trying to make a technic chassis with a system body for a while. I shall be using this as inspiration. Any chance of a belly shot?

Those red leafies are mostly ornamental, most of the springing is done by the yellow shocks.

But"A" for effort (leaf springs). Wonderful job. Love your stuff.... Always have. Little smoother this time....(few studs) but I like the look.

As others said, it looks very well put together. Awesome use of curved slopes to get that smooth rounded look. And lets not forget all the realistic mechanics underneath. I think this is the first model team car with technic supercar mechanics, at least for me.
