Misty Turquoise is coming in November. No, it's not wearing clear heels! That's the color of GMP's 1970 Chevelle SS 454 that will arrive with all the fixins'. Rare factory 4 speed and console delete; SS option trim, bucket seats, raised white letter tires with 5 spoke SS sport wheels and fully detailed undercarriage.

AUTOART DELIVERS GERMAN FIRE & ICE PLUS SHELBY 2007

Here's your chance to add Mercedes "stroke 8" crisp elegance to your collection! AUTOart has sent us a choice of two 220D Limousines and any day now we expect the 280C coupe! Timeless and classic beauty.

From same era, also German, but surrounded by spoilers: AUTOart's splendid '73 BMW 3.0 CSL. This is the first of five straight Spa Winners for BMW.

Add to your open wheel collection with a masterful '72 McLaren M16B Indy contender, this one piloted by Gary Bettenhausen. Carousel 1 is the master.

Rated at 500 horses, the 2007 Shelby GT500 is the most powerful factory-produced Ford Mustang ever. It's a jaw-dropper, bulging in 1:18 detail.

Let us send you Mattel's super duper Ferrari Superamerica, the convertible Berlinetta version of the 575M Maranello. It's the Ferrari you read about with the electrochromic glass panel roof which rotates 180° at the rear to lay flat over the boot. You won't see many being driven around your town, I'm guessing.
