About This Product:
NASCAR Cup Series star Austin Cindric brought a truly international flavour to the 2025 BP Adelaide Grand Final.
Cindric, the current driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford Mustang Dark Horse in the NASCAR Cup Series, teamed up with Tickford Racing to pilot the Ford Performance Racing Mustang GT Supercar as a Wildcard entry on the streets of Adelaide.
Sporting the iconic Tickford Racing #5, the Mustang stunned fans with a striking orange livery, proudly showcasing major backing from Ford, Armor All, and Repco. With the legendary Mustang emblem displayed along the sides, the car quickly became a standout, arguably featuring one of the most memorable liveries in the Gen3 era.
At just 27 years old, Cindric’s racing résumé is already remarkable. As a teenager, he competed in the Bathurst 12 Hour at Mount Panorama in 2015 and 2016, becoming the youngest driver to contest the event at the time.
Before reaching the NASCAR Cup Series, Cindric enjoyed a dominant four-year run in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, highlighted by his 2020 drivers’ championship and the 2021 owners’ title with Team Penske. His 2020 season alone featured six wins, including an incredible stretch of five victories in six races - a feat matched by only one other driver in series history. He sealed the championship by winning the season finale at Phoenix Raceway in his 100th career start.
Cindric’s rookie Cup Series season in 2022 was historic. In just his eighth start, he won the prestigious DAYTONA 500, becoming the first rookie ever to claim NASCAR’s most famous race and delivering the first DAYTONA 500 victory for the iconic No. 2 car. Since then, he has continued to rack up wins, most recently triumphing at Talladega Superspeedway in 2025.
The Wildcard entry marked a first for the Adelaide Street Circuit in Supercars. Combined with Cindric’s star power and the incredible Mustang livery, this release is a must-have for collectors.
This 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.
A highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further. Under the bonnet includes a detailed 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.
Comprised of roughly 204 individual metal and plastic parts, with anywhere between 100-200 steps in paint and decoration finishing, including tampo printing where possible, photo etched parts including the bonnet pints, brake rotors and more, this is a high quality, detailed collectors model.
It will come in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own, Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.

Register Your Interest For Model Cars Here On Our Website:
You can also register your interest for future model car releases online with us to be notified when they are released.
To do this you need to navigate to the product page of the specific model you're interested in.
Once you're on the model product page, please click on the black 'Register Your Interest' tab which should appear on the right hand side of your screen on each future release product page on our website, enter your email in the relevant section and submit the form.
When the model arrives in stock you will receive an advanced email notification from us letting you know that it is in stock with a link to complete and pay for your order while stock lasts.
Please ensure your email address is right before submitting the register your interest form. Unfortunately a confirmation email isn't sent when you register your interest for models on our website, the only time the system will email you about that specific model will be when it arrives in stock.
We offer this option due to the amount of time models generally take to produce (usually 6-18 months) so you're not out of pocket until the model actually arrives.

For Future Release Prints, Books + Other Products:
Depending on the type of product or brand, we also offer a paid pre-order option on our website.
If a product is available for paid pre-order on our website then you will be able to add it to your cart and purchase it like any normal in stock item.
Details about the pre-order will be listed at the top of the product description if it’s available and when we expect it to arrive in our warehouse.
A paid pre-order option will only ever be available on our website for products that aren’t models - we usually use this feature for prints, books and other non-model products.
We offer the paid pre-order option online with us for these products because we can predict production and shipping times more accurately and are usually much faster than the model cars to produce.
Of course, if you wish to order these items from your local stockist, please make an enquiry with them.

Please be mindful that the vast majority of products available from us are produced in limited edition numbers and will only be available while stocks last which is why it is very important to pre-order at a stockist (or here online where possible - see above) or register your interest for future release models.
