In the 1960s, Carroll Shelby’s Cobras dominated racetracks worldwide, first winning races coast to coast
across North America, then in 1965, winning the World Manufacturer’s GT Championship, achieving the
ultimate goal of defeating Ferrari. The Semi-Competitions were modified from full competition models
just enough to make them street legal. Only 29 models were produced, making them one of the most
sought-after American sports cars by collectors.
Your 1:8 model replicates the original 1965 Semi-Competition Cobra in intricate detail. From the detail on
the dashboard dials to the writing on the wheels, every piece is precisely reproduced.
In your tenth model pack, you will build:
