Must be a really popular car to be kitted so many times and covered in so many threads and sections, WOW!:D

Yes but JC and Cobraman start half of them.  Just kidding guys - any Cobra is a good Cobra.

If Accurate Miniatures had made it longer than it did......we would have gotten a full range of Cobras.....they had done the design work for a number of high end die cast so info was in house.

About 4 years ago Academy promised a Daytona Coupe, even had it illustrated in the future release file and then "poof",  gone like vapor.  A modern 289 in the street, USRRC, and FIA bodies would be like printing money.  A 427 with bulged rear fenders as most all the race versions had should be pretty easy.  I have to believe that licensing was/is the bugaboo.  Carroll Shelby never met a dollar that he didn't want a piece of and it seems the company continues that tradition.

Rex, what are you showing us in your picture ? Super detail. Looks better than my Exoto 1/18th diecast. 

It's a 1/18 scale model by Michel Stassart. More info here. It looks like a 1/18 Shelby Collect diecast, which is really detailed and goes for 67 bucks.

K&B did two hard plastic Daytona slot bodies and they are different.  They are small but will fit on an AMT chassis I believe.  Unfortunately the clear glass is molded into the bodies.  Here along with my Gunze and Lindberg kits.

This is the only slab side in 1/24th scale that I have or am aware of.  Of course it is a diecast and the wire wheels are not so great.
