96" wheelbase Cobra?

[mervy49]

When I was very young maybe 6 or 7 years old my mom bought me a 'Dinkey' car. This was a popular toy in those years, mid 1950's. The car was an AC Bristol, made in England. The car was about 2 and a half or 3 inches long max. This is where my love of cars developed and eventually, 10 years later, Shelby's creations showed up on the scene. It took another 25 years after that to build my own Cobra replica.

Hi Merv,
My interest started with a Scalextric Cobra around 45 years ago! I still don't have a 1:1 scale, but....I WILL get there.
Cheers,
