....those tiny fans are a nice (and accurate ) touch.    Cool little models, they should sell very well.  😎 😎

These GLM Cobras may be the only scale replicas of the car with the roll bar headrest installed.

@perrone1 I have the Kyosho diecast, and once you have a model signed by Carroll Shelby, there is no need to upgrade.

John really hit the nail on the head on regarding how stunning these Cobras are! The first thing that struck me when I unboxed them is the beautiful wind wings, which did not appear in the prototype photos...what a nice surprise! They are pieces of artwork all by themselves!

@mg-harv, Shelby signed so many items that it may be harder to find one he didn't sign!

@jkuvakas One thing's for sure - there won't be any more!

That's NICE!!! As John K. says, Ol' Shel signed a ton of them. I have a photo of him that he signed for me, and a few diecasts. If you donated to his children's fund, he'd sign for you. I have this FM 1?24th that he signed across the hood - one of only 80:

1
10

And the FM 350 GT Mustang:

003
010

But I have a 1/18th Cobra Daytona, 1 of 2 that I had him sign and return and I shipped it to Dan Gurney for his signature as well. That's one of my pride & joy diecasts. It sat for over a month on Dan's desk while his broken wrist healed.

@perrone1 Right!

- Those roll-bar headrests are pretty rare, that is.... I'm not sure I've even seen them before.

- Those clear wings & tiny fans are very cool little details. 😎 

- And yes, Carroll signed "everything!"
