Item Description
Small Shelby Cobra #146 Racecar
Scale: 1:48
Previously owned model car. Die Cast Model Car #29
Even before he started racing professionally and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Carroll Shelby had a dream of building sports cars under his own name.
True entrepreneur at heart, Shelby realized that the light and nimble British AC Ace roadster could be a perfect match for a powerful American V8 engine and that this could be his chance of becoming a constructor, and not just a retired racing car driver.
With some help from Ford Motor Company and a small team of mechanics, the first Shelby Cobra was introduced in 1962. It was powered by Ford’s 260 engine, and later with a venerable 289 V8, and it pretty soon took the sports car world by a storm. The combination of lightweight body, small dimensions and brute US power proved to be revolutionary and the car did extremely well in competition all around the world.
