There are fast cars, and then there are ridiculously fast cars. The latter often becomes a legend. The original 1962 Cobra was the product of retired racer Carroll Shelby and his talented team in Los Angeles. An inspired combination of a British-built AC Ace roadster and the small-block Ford V-8, the quick little Cobra soon earned respect on the street and success on the track. Never satisfied, Shelby found more speed for the Cobra in 1965 via Ford’s big-block 427-cubic-inch V-8. It was good for about 425 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of less than four seconds. That’s more than more than fast enough for a legend. Revell’s 1/24-scale model kit represents the ultimate street Cobra, the rare S/C (semi-competition) version which was a thinly disguised race car.

The AC Cobra, sold in the United States as the Shelby Cobra and AC Shelby Cobra, is a sports car manufactured by British company AC Cars, with a Ford V8 engine. It was produced intermittently in both the United Kingdom and later the United States since 1962.
History and development
Like many British manufacturers, AC Cars had been using the Bristol straight-6 engine in its small-volume production, including its AC Ace two-seater roadster. This had a hand-built body with a steel tube frame, and aluminium body panels that were made using English wheeling machines. The engine was a pre-World War II design by BMW which by the 1960s was considered dated. In 1961 Bristol decided to cease production of its engine.
In September 1961, American retired race car driver and automotive designer Carroll Shelby wrote to AC asking if they would build him a car modified to accept a V8 engine. Bristol engines for the AC Ace two-seater sports car had recently been discontinued so AC agreed, provided a suitable engine could be found. Shelby went to Chevrolet to see if they would provide him with engines, but not wanting to add competition to the Corvette, Chevrolet declined. However, Ford wanted a car that could compete with the Corvette and they happened to have a brand new engine which could be used in this endeavor: the Windsor 3.6-litre (221 cu in) engine - a new lightweight, thin-wall cast small-block V8. Ford provided Shelby with two engines.
A new chassis was required, developed, and designated Mark III. The new car was designed in cooperation with Ford in Detroit. A new chassis was built using 101.6 mm (4 in) main chassis tubes, up from 76.2 mm (3 in), and coil spring suspension all around (an especially significant change up front, where the previously-used transverse leaf spring had done double duty as the top link). The new car also had wide fenders and a larger radiator opening. It was powered by the "side oiler" Ford 7.0 L (427 cu in) FE engine equipped with a single 4-barrel 780 CFM Holley carburetor rated at 317 kW (425 hp; 431 PS) at 6000 rpm and 651 N⋅m (480 lb⋅ft) at 3700 rpm of torque,[12] which provided a top speed of 264 km/h (164 mph) in the standard model. The more powerful tune of 362 kW (485 hp; 492 PS) with a top speed of 298 km/h (185 mph) in the semi-competition (S/C) model.
I built this kit as a kid. Instead of painting the body, qI polished the plastic for a more scale look. Won many first places at more shows in my area with it. Fun kit!
Nice - especially the way you snaked all those parts together to create this super looking Cobra. Thanks for sharing ! !
That's one of my favorite 1/24th Monogram kit.
Excellent build I really enjoyed watching, nice straight forward details make a lot of difference, all the best Martin
Wonderful build and presentation Chris! 👏
That came out absolutely wonderful Chris great build 👍👍
Great build Chris! Surprised about negative reviews you speak of. Unless I’m mistaken this was originally a Monogram metal flake kit and at the time of its release was highly rated as a great kit; and your review proves that to be the case. Thanks for the review.
Great build. Thank you!
Great video Chris keep em coming I'll keep watching
Gotta pick up another one of these! Build one a little more than 3 years ago which got me back into models. Did a pretty good job for the lack of experience I had back then.
Very nice! Looks good in that color.
This is an awesome kit,Chris!!!!
That’s a really great result. Looks like an awesome kit. Even the stance is right on the money. Fantastic color combo too. Love it.
This is a must have kit and it is in 1/24!
I know this kit has been around a long time and it's nice to see it out again. I also like that you did the reverse of the blue and white color scheme I often see on the 427 model.
Chris, you did a great job with this build. I just finished one and had a devil of a time mounting the windshield frame and side mirror. I’d like to read how you accomplished this so well. Using mod Podge on the wind defectors was not something I thought to do. Next time for sure!
Nicely done, Chris.
Great looking car- wouldn't mind driving that one.
Really nice. Great detail. 👍
Awesome details outstanding colors
Another nice build Chris !
Built this kit about 5 years ago.Good build Chris
Looks great! That's one I've never built before.
Cool as always. 👍
Love the video. Great channel
One of the most gorgeous builds I've seen Chris!!! Excellent job as always!! Keep it up. Btw: you re-ignited my love for styrene and I've built about 100+ models in the last year because of it!! Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great looking build. Good color choice. It is nice to see something different on a Shelby. The kit looks like a well designed kit. Good review. Thanks for sharing.
Nice build Chris, just built one for a friend last month. The lower radiator hose has to go in the triangle part of the front suspension. You have to file it open quite a bit. It's the only part of the kit that's a pain to connect. Other than that, it's a great kit to build. Nice job again
Very sharp looking automobile 😊
I want to get this one, nice build 👍 looks fantastic
Another fantastic build. I've used (with success) Tamiya TS-79 semi-gloss clear over chrome to tone it down...
Chris, you must have read my request for the model number of the Molotow pen you used. Thanks for that... it's exactly the same model (size) that I use. Thanks again buddy!
Looks great! I want to do a chrome body build!
Thank you for doing this build. I've been on the fence about buying this kit. Your build has inspired me to get it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Absolutely incredible Shelby build Chris! Love the custom details you did to it! I also primer and paint over my chrome parts too!
Thanks a bunch!
Looks like Monogram, i built the Essex Wire racing version of it decades ago. Good job on the build, very nice!
Great build up, Been wanting to do one for awhile, off to Modelroundup I go!
Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike
(Shut 'em down) Spring little Cobra now with all of your might 🎶🎶
Sweet😎👍🏻
Very nice! This kit has been around for a long time with many versions and is still great to build. Some of my favorite versions are the street car with wire wheels and convertible top, the "King Cobra" drag racer with a hard top and the Limited Edition that included painted resin figures of Ken Miles and Carrol Shelby.
Those "'retrieval hooks" you mentioned are actually rack points front and rear for the manual Jack's for competition pit stops.
It was good to hear you enjoying yourself during the build. It's just gorgeous -- I love watching your techniques as you work.
good job! That's definitely not an easy kit to build and make look that good.
Are you using quick set tamiya cement? Or thicker stuff.
Personally I would have sprayed the entire underbody and under hood flat black ,instead of only painting "cut out" for door panels.i always paint my underbody for a clean look when u turn it over
Do you thin your tamiya paint or just use it straight out the bottle ?
and also. What is that glue in the red bottle? Thanks.
Very nice car and video. On the decals, do you soak them in water first ,or the Mr. Mark softer?
Also, what was the brand name of the acrylic paint that you used on the steering wheel ? Thanks,Mike
You soak them in water to release them from the backing paper.
I forget the brand but any of the craft paints work well, Apple Barrel, Americana, Folk Art, Ceramcoat, they all do a good job.
@@hpiguy thanks,
Its an old monogram kit they should put monogram logo on all of the old monogram tooling
The rear suspension is a pain in this kit.
Revell makes nice kits but their tires are not realistic looking like Round2 has
i am a few months late to reply but that radiator is backwords they did a horrible job explaining it though no ones fault but theres on that part lol
Great looking car- wouldn't mind driving that one.
