Shelby Collectibles 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe #98 1/18 Diecast Vehicle

1/18 scale 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe #98

This officially licensed diecast model replicates the 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe wearing race number 98. It is finished in red with white stripes and features a detailed interior, exterior and engine compartment. The model is made from diecast metal with some plastic parts and rolls on real rubber tires. It is intended for adult collectors.

Upgrading from smaller or sealed models

Collectors moving up from smaller scales or sealed-display cars gain a larger 1/18 presence with functional openings. The jump is worth it when you want steerable wheels and access to the engine bay, cockpit and luggage area on a single piece. It does not suit buyers who need a smaller footprint for dense shelving or who prefer resin models with no moving parts.

Installing on a shelf or in a cabinet

The model arrives in a brand new box and requires no assembly; simply remove it and position the steerable front wheels as desired. The hood, doors and trunk open on small hinges that can catch if forced, so move each panel gently. Dust the detailed engine compartment and interior with a soft brush rather than compressed air to avoid dislodging tiny parts.
