(Pics) Shelby Cobra 427
This is the big-block Ford 427 version of the powerful Shelby Cobra. This diecast features opening doors and is from Kintoy/Kinsmart.

Mike - This is listed on Kinsmart website as 1/32nd scale - is it 1/32nd or 1/43? Looks very nice.

This one scales out in actual wheelbase pretty close to 1/32 ..... just fractionally short of that.
I'd imagine a number of cars in this range are tooled to generally fit in a provided display stand, so the subject fits within a 3 or 4 inch long area. The big Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser in this series ends up being about as long as this Cobra and therefore is listed as 1/42.
This Cobra does look good and displays very well !
