1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe - Blue (YatMing) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
The Shelby Daytona Coupe was the first car built using aerodynamics on a race car chassis design. It was also one of the first to use wind tunnel tests to reduce the drag of the car. Its roof was odd shaped, the rear end was chopped off and it had a movable wing on the rear. A triangulated sub frame over the twin-parallel-tube frame to increase the torsional stiffness and a basic roll bar was added to increase chassis strength. In 1965, the Shelby Coupe finally won FIA World GT Championship over the dominant Ferrari team.

American muscle cars of the 1960s and early 1970s represent the high-water mark of factory-built performance in automotive history. Insurance surcharges, emissions regulations, and the 1973 oil crisis combined to end the original muscle car era almost overnight. Today these vehicles are among the most actively collected American automobiles, with exceptional examples regularly achieving six-figure prices at major auctions.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1965 Ford in Blue is produced by YatMing to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
