Can't have a Cobra . . .

That car (a McClusky) is owned by my neighbor Charlie S.  He occasionally drives to a Cars & Coffee and I got to ride in on the pace lap @ Summt Point.  Pics are on another computer but he also owns this SAfir GT40 that I got to take for a spin.  The 2nd GT40 is owned by another gentleman Howard.  He built it himself.

Another nice addition is this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Shelby-American-Racing-History-Friedman/dp/0760303096/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519672933&sr=8-1&keywords=shelby+american+racing+history

Nice detailed overview of Cobras, Sunbeam Tigers, prototypes, Trans Am efforts.

I've reached the point where I have to touch any new volume to decide whether to add it to the pile or not.  There's a lot of overlap between the various books.  With just Cobra, Shelby, and GT40 I think I've got close to 30 soft cover and hard cover books.

I have one of these.  They sure look good on shelf even at 1/32.    And with the Monogram Grand Sports, even better.   My buddy & I had some epic battles with these.  http://www.electricdreams.com/Shop/monogram-slot-cars-monogram-cobra-coupe-c-168_17_98.html?zenid=0f9c69af67d06f61fcc4ab7a33c1d567

Shame Monogram didn't see fit to enlarge it to fit on the Cobra chassis.

Exoto made/makes a die cast too in 1/18 - very nice if you got the money...  But prices aren't going higher, so that's good.

The Shelby Collectibles in 1/18 are very detailed too, and at $49.99 a lot more affordable. I really like mine.

I just remembered - I also have a 1/18 Maisto Daytona.  Not bad and even cheaper.  Like $20.  But I would like to build one myself.  Would look good with my 3 Accurate Miniatures Gs vettes.
