AFX Racing 22071 Shelby Mustang GT350R 1965 Donohue White/Blue

Mark Donohue, a multi-talented racer and degreed engineer, amassed a remarkable record of championships, victories, and innovative cars developed across 8 different racing classes.

But it was his 1965 race wins and SCCA Divisional Championship in a Shelby GT350R that helped bring him to the attention of a certain Roger Penske.  This began a racing partnership that would yield legendary race wins and success for many years.

The GT350 “R” model was rare indeed with only 37 ever made specifically for competitive use under SCCA rules. The car made an excellent impression on racing circuits, becoming the B-Production divisional champion 3 years in a row.

In typical AFX fashion, the HO Scale version of this car comes fully decked out with even the smallest details like the racing oil cooler under the front grill and the tapered white stripes over the beautiful Guardsman blue body.  Even the 5 spoke wheels are the style used when the car was raced.

CHÂSSIS : Mega G+ LONG Wheelbase Chassis (1.7″)

Mega G+ Chassis

Smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built, the Mega G+ chassis is the ultimate driving machine. It runs faster and handles better than the competition and continues AFX’s reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth.

Not only is it up to 35% lighter than any other HO chassis. Having the lowest center of gravity of all competitors means it corners like a dream. But the cherry on top is the ability to create super realistic car bodies thanks to the Mega G+ being the narrowest, lowest chassis ever made.

Still don’t believe us? Here’s the facts...

• Stronger Pick Up Shoes have stronger contact for more consistent power
• The AFX Exclusive Extra-Long Tapered Guide Pin keeps the car on track longer
• Level 30 Neodymium Ground Effects Magnets keep the car glued to the track
• An FN20 Advanced Power Unit is energy efficient, smooth, quiet, and consistent
• The Nylatron Chassis Material has just enough flex for super durability
• High Carbon Power Unit Brushes last longer than composite brushes
• The New Redundant Power Transfer System improved durability and drivability
