Shelby Collectibles Die-cast 1965 Shelby Cobra 427

Here are some photos of my die-cast 1:64 Shelby Cobra 427 from Shelby Collectibles.  This is an officially licensed car that I believe is made by the same folks who bring us the little Gear'd Up die-cast cars.  This Shelby Cobra is a little small because it is actually 1/64 scale.

I took it out for a spin to get some photos of this little road blaster. It's a nice looking little model.

For a quick die-cast model review:  I like the level of detail on these cars.  They look nice and have nice detail.  However, these aren't bank breaking collectibles.  They are affordable model renditions of the car.  While the body is diecast, the bottom plates are plastic.

When the sun hits the hood, you can really imagine taking a Cobra out to the country side for an evening drive!

Overall, this little Cobra was a nice little addition to my collection.

Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra 427

This is my Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra 427.  The Cobra is one of my favorite cars because it combines beautiful European bodywork with American muscle.  It's an iconic American car.  Here is a Car & Driver road test of a 1965 Shelby 427 Cobra.  This 1965 model had an improved handling package to allow it to keep the horsepower of a 427 cubic inch V-8 on the road.
