Cobra memorabilia: What does your collection look like?

My Die Cast collection is now over 1300 cars, I have close to over 150 model cars still not assembled. 95% of collection is Fords some day when I am gone the kids will have one hell of a garage sale.

I am in the range of FST HSKR. I've got 500+ 1/18 or 1/24 diecast (or larger), and probably 1000+ 1/64-1/43rds. I've got 500+ unbuilt plastic model kits of all scales from all eras.

But I also collect slot cars, posters and artwork, books, and a bunch of other memorabilia. I've probably got another 750 pieces of that stuff.

My collection isn't just Cobras though. It's also Shelby Mustangs, Mustangs, GT-40s, Panteras, Tigers, Thunderbolts, and pretty much any Ford muscle car or Ford race car of historic significance.

Once of these days when we get our basement finished, I'll post pics.

I have just about every Cobra Hot Wheels produced. About 82 different variations. I’ve been collecting for about 5 years. Check out my collection. Click HERE.

This is AWESOME! I also collect the Hot Wheels Cobras, specifically the Classic Cobra version, and have been looking for someone who has posted pics of all the different variations. Now I can see all the ones I'm missing...and it's a bunch.

I have a fairly decent collection of spare parts, models, literature, and memorabilia. Unfortunately, I sold my literature collection in the late 80's at the suggestion of a former wife (who just didn't understand). Of course, after she left, I started all over again.
The "Carroll Shelby Hall of Fame" takes up all of my loft, along with computer equipment, a few trophies, and a spare all-aluminum 351C.

The display cases are two-sided, with 1/43rd models on both sides. The majority are Shelby or Cobra models, but I collect a lot of other Ford models, too, including Mustangs, T'Birds, Lincolns, and DeTomasos. Larger scales are displayed in built-in cabinets, and boxes of unbuilt models (that I THOUGHT I'd build when I retired from Ford) fill drawers and closets around the room.

regards,

Jeff
