Description

The 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 represents the absolute pinnacle of American sports car engineering and raw performance. Born from Carroll Shelby's vision to combine Ford's mighty 427 cubic inch (7.0L) V8 engine with AC Cars' lightweight British chassis, the Cobra 427 became an instant legend. With an astounding 425-485 horsepower packed into a featherweight 2,400-pound body, this beast could achieve 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 165 mph. The 1965 model year marked the height of Cobra performance, featuring the legendary side-oiler 427 engine and distinctive flared fender bodywork that has become synonymous with American automotive excellence.

This 1:43 scale reproduction perfectly captures the iconic proportions and racing spirit of the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 in classic blue with white racing stripes. Part of our Partwork range, this model offers exceptional value while maintaining impressive attention to detail and accuracy, showcasing the legendary roadster that redefined what a sports car could be.
