New Shelby Collectibles 1/18 Ford Diecast Cars USA: GT40 MK II & GT350R

Shelby Collectibles new arrivals • U.S. buyer guide

Four Ford legends, all in display-ready 1/18 scale

Compare three 1966 Ford GT40 MK II releases and a signature-roof 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350R—each verified directly in Shopify with active United States pricing.

For collectors searching for Shelby Collectibles 1/18 Ford diecast cars in the USA, this four-model arrival offers a clear theme and meaningful variety. Three 1966 Ford GT40 MK II models share the same low racing silhouette but differ by car number, color and event identity. A 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R adds a taller American-performance profile, white paint with blue stripes and Carroll Shelby’s printed signature on the roof.

Every product in this guide was added between October 11 and October 15, 2026, and was active when checked. The live listings confirm diecast construction with selected plastic parts, real rubber tires, steerable wheels and opening panels. Each section below includes the exact SKU, verified U.S.-market price, published dimensions and a direct product link so buyers can distinguish similar GT40 versions without relying on photographs alone.

All specifications above come from the active product descriptions. Dimensions are approximate. Manufacturer packaging can change while the product remains the same.

Three 1966 Ford GT40 MK II choices in 1/18 scale

The GT40 side of this release is ideal for collectors who want one body shape presented through three distinct identities. All three listings specify the same approximate dimensions—9.25 inches long, 4 inches wide and 2.25 inches high—and the same basic feature set: real rubber tires, steerable wheels, diecast construction with some plastic parts, opening hood, doors and engine compartment, and detailed interior, exterior and engine area.

That consistency makes comparison simple. You are not choosing between different scales or feature levels. You are choosing the finish, car number and named racing context that best matches your collection. The light-blue #1 is identified with Miles and Hulme at Le Mans. The white #98 is identified as a 24 Hours Daytona winner. The black #2 is defined by its dark finish and number without an event label in the live product description.

Le Mans • Right-hand drive • SKU SC411

1966 Ford GT40 MK II #1 in light blue

SC411 is the most specific Le Mans entry in this four-product group. The product title identifies the car as right-hand drive and connects #1 with Miles and Hulme. Its light-blue finish gives the model a bright, recognizable presence without relying on a large color contrast between body panels.

The live description lists opening hood, doors and engine compartment, giving collectors three ways to view the detailed interior and engine area. Steerable wheels and real rubber tires add another display option, while the 9.25-inch length keeps the model aligned with the other two GT40 releases.

Choose this version if your shelf is organized around Le Mans, the Miles–Hulme pairing, right-hand-drive race cars or light-blue Ford competition models. When comparing search results, use the complete SKU SC411 because similar 1966 GT40 MK II models can differ by number, finish and driver reference.

24 Hours Daytona winner • SKU SC415

1966 Ford GT40 MK II #98 in white

SC415 shifts the racing reference from Le Mans to Daytona. The product description identifies the white #98 as a 24 Hours Daytona winner. That gives it a clear role in a display built around endurance racing while keeping the same Shelby Collectibles 1/18 dimensions and mechanical display features as the other GT40s in this guide.

Opening hood, doors and engine compartment reveal the detailed areas listed by the manufacturer. The model also has steerable wheels and real rubber tires. Its white finish creates a neutral base that can stand out beside the light-blue #1 and black #2 when all three are arranged together.

Choose the #98 if Daytona is the event identity you want represented, if a white race car fits your existing color sequence, or if you are building a broader Ford endurance-racing collection rather than focusing only on Le Mans. Use SKU SC415 to locate the exact white #98 release.

Black finish • Number 2 • SKU SC408

1966 Ford GT40 MK II #2 in black

SC408 is the visually darkest GT40 in the group. The live product title and description identify a black 1966 Ford GT40 MK II carrying number 2. Unlike the other two GT40 listings, the store description does not attach a named event win or driver pairing, so this guide keeps the focus on the verified color, number and construction.

The feature list remains strong and consistent: real rubber tires, steerable wheels, a diecast body with some plastic parts, opening hood, doors and engine compartment, plus detailed interior, exterior and engine area. Approximate dimensions are 9.25 by 4 by 2.25 inches.

Choose this model if a black finish best suits your display, if number 2 is central to your collecting theme, or if you want maximum tonal contrast beside the white #98. Its equal size lets it sit naturally in a three-car GT40 row without changing riser height or shelf depth.

1965 Mustang Shelby GT350R with printed Carroll Shelby roof signature

Mustang Shelby GT350R • SKU SC168-1

White with blue stripes and a signature detail above

SC168-1 brings a different Ford silhouette to the release. The 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350R is finished in white with blue stripes, and the product title specifies Carroll Shelby’s printed signature on the roof. That roof treatment makes overhead visibility more important than it is for a model whose key details sit only on the sides.

The GT350R is approximately 9.75 inches long, 4 inches wide and 2.75 inches high. It is half an inch longer and half an inch taller than the three GT40 models listed here, while sharing the same four-inch approximate width. The published features include real rubber tires, steerable wheels, opening hood, doors and trunk, and detailed interior, exterior and engine compartment.

Choose the GT350R if your collection emphasizes Mustang history, white-and-blue Shelby colors, Carroll Shelby branding or American performance cars. It also works as the visual counterpoint in a four-car shelf: taller, longer and less low-slung than the GT40 trio, but still connected by Ford and Shelby identity.

What the four models share—and where they differ

Across the release, Shelby Collectibles keeps the core experience consistent. Every listing specifies 1/18 scale, real rubber tires, steerable wheels, diecast construction with selected plastic parts, and detailed interior, exterior and engine areas. Those common elements matter when models are displayed together: none is presented as a smaller companion piece, and every car offers functional access to interior or mechanical detail.

The differences are equally useful. The three GT40s share one approximate footprint and open at the hood, doors and engine compartment. The GT350R is slightly longer and taller, and its rear opening feature is a trunk rather than the engine-compartment wording used for the GT40s. Color also separates the group clearly—light blue, white, black, then white with blue stripes—while the GT350R adds the printed signature on its roof.

This balance makes the set easy to expand gradually. A collector can begin with the race or color that matters most, then add another model later without introducing a different scale. If you plan to own all four, reserve slightly more vertical clearance above the GT350R and keep a view from above so the signature detail remains visible.

Which Shelby Collectibles model should you buy?

The right choice depends on whether you collect by event, car family, color or display feature. Because every model had the same verified United States market price at publication, price does not need to decide between them; the product story can.

U.S. buyers should open the direct product page before ordering. Confirm the active U.S.-market price, current availability and final checkout details there. This guide does not make delivery-time, shipping or inventory guarantees.

How to display and care for Shelby Collectibles 1/18 models

One-eighteenth scale has enough presence to reward careful spacing. A single model can anchor a shelf, while four cars create a substantial row. The three GT40s are approximately 9.25 inches long and 2.25 inches high. The GT350R is approximately 9.75 inches long and 2.75 inches high. Add clearance around those figures if you want to show doors, hoods, the GT40 engine compartments or the Mustang trunk open.

• Plan the viewing angle. The GT350R’s printed roof signature is easiest to see from slightly above. A low shelf or gentle riser can make that detail more visible.
• Keep the GT40 trio aligned. Their matching dimensions suit a straight row, staggered diagonal or three-level podium-style arrangement.
• Handle the main body. Support the model with clean, dry hands and avoid lifting it by doors, mirrors, hood edges or other small details.
• Move opening panels gently. The listings confirm functional panels, but no hinge should be forced. Close panels carefully when the model is unattended.
• Limit prolonged direct sunlight and moisture. A stable indoor display helps protect paint, stripes, printed details and packaging.
• Keep boxes and SKU records. Packaging can change according to the product descriptions, so the SKU remains the simplest way to distinguish the exact release.

For a museum-style presentation, add a small label beneath each car with year, model, number, color and SKU. On the #1 and #98, include the race reference given in the listing. On the GT350R, note the printed Carroll Shelby roof signature. This approach makes the display informative without adding claims beyond the verified product data.
