Diecast 427 Cobra review

My wife is very understanding.  She even gets involved occasionally.  She's a good un.  But does worry about what happens someday...

I really appreciate the pictures of your collections Ray and Rex.  I know it was not easy to put them all out for our enjoyment.  Thank you.

I like sharing my collection to people how can appreciate it . I'm sure Rex feels the same way.

Thanks Gary.  Fortunately the smaller diecasts I have all pretty well organized and accessible.  One project left on my to do list is to go through hundreds of automobile magazines from the last 30 years  and tear out Some articles and sadly probably dispose of them since either no one wants them anymore and there are so many that trying to sell and ship them would not be worth the time involved.

Rex,

You have seen my magazines and I am in the same boat.  Like you I plan to go through and cut out the articles I want and dispose of the rest.

Awesome collections guys, Thanks for all the work pulling em out to show us.  It IS appreciated!!

I just picked up one of the Revell 1/24 "street" Cobras in red. Needs a little TLC/Snake-Fu. Maybe not the star of the show, but worth every penny of the $5 I spent on it.

Revell also did that Cobra in blue with racing numbers on it.

Yep.  I ordered bought one off Ebay to add to the collection.  Like all my other diecast cars they are in storage for now so no pictures of mine but here is the same model from an Ebay seller that is crying for detailing the all black engine and compartment.

Yes, they can be made to look a lot better with a little work but then most of the less expensive cars can.

Since my previous posting I have added 3 more 427 Cobras to my diecast collection.

L to R :

BBurago - Argentine 1000 Miglia - changed wheels and tires

Maisto  - same body as BBurago - changed wheels 

Sportcar Replica - 1/25 scale-Landis-Sposaro-McCaughey heavy cast metal #05

[cobraman]

You know I like them all. As you know and thanks to you I have one of those Landis metal kits. I may just have to build that one of these days. Maisto looks a world better with a wheel swap.
