Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Diecast Model Blue 1/18 Die Cast Car By Shelby Collectables


If its muscle you want, Shelby's got plenty. The Shelby Mustang has its genesis in the 1960s and the name of famed Formula One racer Carroll Hall Shelby behind it. About 1,000 of these red, white, blue or green GT350H cars were produced and, today, are much sought after by collectors of running models (and selling for well over $100,000) as well as die cast car enthusiasts.
Beautifully crafted 1965 Blue Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Diecast Model Car. AC Cobras had an extensive racing career. The Cobra was perhaps too successful in the performance department and reputedly contributed to the implementation of national speed limits in the United Kingdom. A fine addition to any collection.

WELLY 1/18 1970 MERCURY COUGAR ELIMINATOR DIECAST MODEL CAR


Mercury was produced by Ford in 1939 as an entry-level luxury car. It was a few rungs on the ladder below the prestigious Lincoln, but far more classy than a standard sedan or coupe. That strategy echoes the parent company's 90-year-old philosophy of making Mercury an entr'e to Lincoln ownership. Alternatively you can make a diecast model car replica a entr'e to actual Mercury ownership.

1970 was the second year for the Cougar Eliminator. The Eliminator package includes special graphics, spoiler, front air-dam and 351 windsor engine. This beautifully crafted 1970 Green Mercury Cougar Eliminator Diecast Model Car would make a fine addition to any collection.

Riding on the wave of success, Nissan dressed up their economical cars in sporty designs, making them even more appealing diecast model cars, Japanese model cars, and diecast racecars.
