Stars, Stripes and Shelby™ Forever!
Take the symbol of the greatest nation on earth, combine it
with a masterpiece of American know-how, and what do you
have? The red-white-and-blue edition of the awesome Shelby®
Cobra 427 S/C™! As a die-cast model, it doesn't get any
better - 150 separate parts, fitted by hand in one
sensational whole - packed with authentic detail and
accurate down to the 500hp engine under the hood. As a
display statement, it couldn't be more inspiring with its
flag-waving paint scheme.
For the true roadster aficionado, nothing has ever been
built to compare to the Cobra. To this day, the Shelby®
Cobra stands out. This limited-production sports car
deserves its designation as an automotive classic because it
demands your full attention. It looks great; it sounds mean;
and it drives like a demon. In fact, it may well be the most
powerful, the most attractive, and the most thrilling front
engine roadster ever manufactured for sale to the public.
The Shelby® Cobra was born in a flash of insight, became
cloaked in clouds of controversy, and remains enshrouded in
layers of mystery. Cobra production began in 1962 and ended
in 1967. At first, this thinly disguised road racer featured
a 260 V-8 engine (soon expanded to a 289 V-8) inside its
sleek European-style body. Shelby® produced 630 such models.
Then, in 1965, this beautiful beast got even more power when
the 427 cid V-8 racing engine was added. At some point in
production, the 427 was replaced with the 428 Police
Interceptor engine: 348 were 427s and 26 of these were
designated S/C™ for street competition. The S/C™ was the
ultimate Cobra.
Carroll Shelby's Cobra 427 S/C™ was not just fast, it was
mega-fast. It moved like a cannon shot and answered
virtually every demand a driver could make. The Cobra's
lightning speed, blazing power, superior handling, and
stunning good looks assure its place in history. Today, this
rare roadster is in great demand by collectors.
Like the car it portrays, your precision model is a
masterpiece of engineering. And as a display statement, it
couldn't be more inspiring. It's embellished by the most
spectacular custom paint scheme ever - a vibrant, waving
American flag! Together, they produce a patriotic Old Glory
- symbol of the greatest nation on earth, and the Shelby®
Cobra - symbol of American know-how at its best!

One of the hottest automobiles of all time
just got hotter! And now you can feel the heat of the King
of Cobras--Carroll Shelby's® Cobra 427 S/C® re-created in
the preferred 1:24 scale. We've captured the original 427
S/C® down to the smallest detail of the powerful OHV V-8
engine.
Adorning the hood, two fang-bearing King Cobras emerge
fiercely from a nest of flames. Set in the middle of the two
snakes, the world-famous Cobra® emblem--symbol of power,
speed and flat-out sex appeal. The trunk is artfully
rendered to resemble the scaled, multi-colored surface of
snake hide, thereby completing an inspired rendering that
dramatically enhances the mystique of one of the world's
most awesome automobiles.
Simply put: The Shelby Cobra 427 S/C® defied convention.
When introduced in the early 1960s, it roared into
automotive history as quite possibly the most provocative
front-engine roadster ever built. By the middle of the
decade, the Cobra®'s beauty-to-brawn ratio increased
dramatically with the addition of the blatantly potent 427
cid V-8 racing engine.
Of the 348 Cobra 427s produced in 1965, only 31 carried the
S/C (Street Competition) designation. Its rarity, combined
with its devilish good looks, made the 427® a certified
legend--a siren that continues to cast her irresistible
spell over Muscle Car enthusiasts to this day.
This sizzling, precision-engineered re-creation evokes the
fiery spirit of Carroll Shelby®'s masterpiece as never
before, and is sure to add a bright, distinctive look to
your collection.
