1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C AuthentiCast Resin Sculpture

Passionate about high-performance cars, race car driver and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby fulfilled his dream of building the ultimate sports car when he designed the Shelby Cobra 427. His idea? To marry a light and nimble British roadster with a powerful American V8. This revolutionary combination of a lightweight body, small dimensions and brute power made the Shelby Cobra 427 the most competitive, most powerful and most desirable sports car in the world. And, in 2009, Shelby's championship-winning 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX2601 made history when it sold for a record-breaking $7.25 million - the highest price ever paid for an American car at public auction! This car is so rare, few collectors will ever see one...until now. In this first-ever collecting event, you can become a Charter Collector of the 1:8-Scale 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Sculpture, presented by The Hamilton Collection. This oversized tribute measures a full 20 inches long and is engineered with 21st century AuthentiCast Resin technology to recreate the original roadster in 1:8 scale with precise interior and exterior detail.

This 1:8-scale car sculpture boasts a wealth of individual parts, from the scaled chassis, grille detail and electric cooling fan to the hood scoop and crystal-clear windshield. Every inch is precisely molded to exact manufacturer specifications and meticulously assembled by hand. Even the most discerning collectors are sure to be amazed with the separate high-beam headlamps built into the grille, the Sunburst wheels, the horizontal rear taillights and the emblems. The interior boasts exceptional console and dashboard instrumentation, roll bar, woodgrain-like steering wheel, realistic seat belts and a gear shifter. Plus, the open cab makes the interior detail viewable from every angle. Just like the rare '65 Cobra, this car sculpture stuns in a flawless finish of Sapphire Blue with Wimbledon White racing stripes. From its shiny grille and mirrors to its glistening bumpers, this sports car tribute is surrounded by chrome-colored trim. Plus its rubber-like tires really roll. Your car sculpture arrives with a custom display, valued at $200, and is certified with an individually numbered plaque attached to the display's base. Strong demand is anticipated for this Shelby collectible, but it is available in an edition limited to 499 worldwide, so don't delay. Order now!
