1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake 1:24 scale diecast by Franklin Mint Excellent quality 1:24 scale, 6.5" long Chevy diecast by The Franklin Mint. Very limited production - only 5,000 made.
Only one Supersnake remains in existence, and in 2007 it was auctioned off at a dizzying $5.5 million! Now, the rarest of the rare can be yours for much, much less in a precision-engineered classic as awesome as the real thing. Built by hand from more than 150 separate components, this superb model is crafted with the same passion as the legendary Carroll Shelby devoted to the original. Every detail is authentic, down to the side-mounted exhausts and the precise re-creation of the powerful Shelby Cobra 427 S/C engine under the hood. We’ve even duplicated the world-famous Cobra logo on the hood. Packed with realistic working features, painted and polished by hand, its ready to roar its way into your collection now! We all have our dream cars. The legendary Carroll Shelby is no exception. Back in the late Sixties, he made his dream come true by taking his blatantly awesome CSX 3015 competition roadsters built for the European racing circuit and increasing its already formidable power with the addition of twin Paxton Superchargers, boosting the horsepower to a near-mythic 800. He didnt stop there. The fitting of a lightweight competition body with decidedly European flair infused alluring beauty to the ferocious beast under the hood. With the further addition of bumpers, mufflers and a windshield, Shelbys magus opus was classified as a street-legal 427 Cobra S/C (S/C for Semi-Competition). Only two were ever built, and only one remains selling at auction for a nifty $5,500,000!
