Mustang Collector Cards

Here is a website I found when Googling "Lil Red Shelby". The way I read the website is that there were Mustang collector cards produced at some time and one of those cards was of a GT/CS.

I'm far too young to know about such things but was wondering if anyone had ever seen a GT/CS collector card.

aren't these the same cards that keep popping up on ebay now and then?

Here is a recent auction for them

From the ebay link, did you see this "... AND 1 1967 MUSTANG CALIF SP CARD FRESH FROM THE PACK..." ???

Is that the owner's mistake, or a mistake on the collector card??

if these are what I am thinking I have a few of the CS cards. Got them on Ebay and few months ago.

I also have two collector cards of the CS that I purchased off e-bay a couple of years ago. Don't know for sure, but I think mine are knock offs because they are too perfect to be old collector cards. I've noticed the same cards several times on e-bay. Don't get me wrong, these are nice conversation pieces with facts about the CS. Nice items to have if you're a CS owner.

I just tried the link it worked. I did try a non-affliated link on tinyurl so maybe it's just working on my pc.

I think I read that these cards weren't made back in the 60's but were more recent sets.

Hey guys,

Haveing alittle trouble with the links stuff, but just to let you know I came across there cards in the ( some not all ) in the late eights when at school.

Mustang stuff that had the CS inculded, I picked up some different sets and recognize some of those picks..

I dig threw my stuff and try to find name or publisher or what ever, if ya want .

But they were legit ( lame but legit during that time period )

Some of my early creditblity actually...

On that first web site they were listing different engines with the code and they referenced the C code as a Challenger V8. Anyone ever heard of that reference? Could the name be a foreign thing?

"Challenger V8" has been used as a term by Ford since the early days of the Mustang ...

I have a whole collection of musclecar cards that my sister and I collected back in the early 90`s. I have about 100 of them and 7 of them are various mustangs. I have 2 that are the Ford Shelby Daytona. Does anybody know if these are worth anything? They say 1992 on them. Thanks, Rhonda
