Shelby Cobra 427 S/C
Shelby Cobra 427 S/C by Shelby Collectibles in 1:18 scale.
"I started out with an idea to build a sports car powered by an American V8 at a time when most European sports cars were being imported with little four cyclinders, 1918 taxi-cab engines. I went to AC Cars, because they had an available chassis, and I went to see Lee Iacocca at Ford for a little money and a couple of engines to help me get started. We never dreamed we'd build a car to win the world championship and evrything else, or become the legend it has. The Cobra has become the most replicated car there has ever been; I think that says it all right there." CARROLL SHELBY
INDEED!!!
Thanks for looking....

A classic. It looks ready to rumble and, with those two "propellers" in front, it also looks ready to take-off !

The 427 S/C roadsters are fun cars to modify as they are easy to take apart and put back together

Still I do not have any Cobra in my collection... God knows when will I acquire one.. Nice model Bob

Well you will have plenty to choose from...........
but Cobras are like any other car - you like them, you don't like them or you don't care either way.
Additionally, none of the Cobra models are what you would call 'state of the art'. The very best would be the roadsters that are made by Exoto and even they have 'dog leg' doors.
So unless you feel like a model is a 'must have' because of the real cars history there is little reason to buy 'somebody else's favorite car'

Cobra is a 'must have' for me Frank.... Exoto is out of my budget, but Kyosho is in my wish list...
