Revell 1/24 Shelby 427 Cobra S/C (RMX4533)

There are fast cars, and then there are ridiculously fast cars. The latter often becomes a legend. The original 1962 Cobra was the product of retired racer Carroll Shelby and his talented team in Los Angeles. An inspired combination of a British-built AC Ace roadster and the small-block Ford V-8, the quick little Cobra soon earned respect on the street and success on the track. Never satisfied, Shelby found more speed for the Cobra in 1965 via Ford’s big-block 427-cubic-inch V-8. It was good for about 425 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of less than four seconds. That’s more than more than fast enough for a legend. Revell’s 1/24-scale model kit represents the ultimate street Cobra, the rare S/C (semi-competition) version which was a thinly disguised race car.
