This diecast model is manufactured by Maisto and labeled as the Shelby Series 1®. From the rear packaging image, the UPC is 090159314524, and the Maisto item number is 31452. Based on these identifiers, this piece is part of Maisto's Special Edition series and was produced circa early-to-mid 2000s.

Vehicle Make, Model, and Year:
The model represents the Shelby Series 1, a rare and historic American sports car designed by Carroll Shelby and built in limited numbers in the late 1990s. The real-life Shelby Series 1 debuted in 1999, notable for being the only vehicle ever designed and engineered by Shelby from the ground up.

Exterior and Interior Details:
The diecast features a vibrant red exterior with dual white racing stripes, chrome-style multi-spoke wheels, and authentic body lines true to the Series 1’s aerodynamic design. The interior includes black sport seats, a detailed dashboard, visible instrument cluster, and realistic door panel sculpting.

Collector Interest:
The Shelby Series 1’s low production run and historical significance as Shelby’s only clean-sheet design make it a desirable model. Maisto’s faithful rendering in a 1:18 Special Edition format, complete with retail packaging, makes this a valuable piece for collectors of American performance cars and Shelby memorabilia.
