Maisto 1:24 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Diecast — Red with White Stripes, Opening Hood — Field Find

THE FIND
A Maisto 1:24 scale diecast Shelby Cobra 427 S/C in red with white racing stripes — opening hood and doors, engine detail visible, side pipes and roll bar intact. Displayed previously; in good condition for a collector or a shelf that needs a proper sports car.

WHAT WE KNOW
Maisto is a well-regarded diecast manufacturer known for accurate 1:24 scale models with functional features. This Shelby Cobra 427 S/C features a red body with white center stripes, opening hood revealing engine detail, opening doors with interior detail, side exhaust pipes, and roll bar — all intact. Minor display dust possible; no significant damage. 1:24 scale gives this model substantial presence and weight on a shelf.

THE STORY
The Shelby Cobra 427 S/C is one of the most iconic American performance cars ever built — a lightweight British roadster body stuffed with a Ford 427 cubic inch V8, producing a car that was essentially a race vehicle with license plates. Carroll Shelby built fewer than 30 true S/C (Semi-Competition) examples in 1965. The red-with-white-stripes livery is the most recognizable Cobra color combination, and in 1:24 scale it loses none of its aggression.

WHY WE CHOSE IT
The opening hood and door features make this more than a static model — there's something to discover when you pick it up. The Cobra 427 is a subject that rewards the detail work, and Maisto delivers it at this scale.
