Product identity

This Shelby Collectibles model is a 1/18 scale diecast replica of the 1966 Ford GT-40 MK II #1 Red Le Mans racer. It suits collectors who want a detailed display piece with opening features and authentic rubber tyres.

Questions about this item

How do I display the 1/18 scale Shelby Collectibles GT-40 without damaging the steerable front wheels?

Place the model on a flat shelf so the rubber tires bear the weight; do not rest it on the steerable wheel linkage or the opened hood and doors, which are not load-bearing.

What parts of the diecast GT-40 might need attention after long-term display?

The real rubber tires can dry out and crack over years; the steerable wheel mechanism and opening hood, doors and engine compartment hinges may stiffen if dust accumulates.

At what point does the 1/18 scale model become unstable during handling?

The model measures approximately 9.25 inches long, 4 inches wide and 2.25 inches high; its high centre of gravity and opening panels make it top-heavy once the hood or doors are swung open.
