I still haven't officially signed up for the Dreams are Free GB, as I've been trying to come up with a meaningful entry that actually was a dream car of mine.
Being one who marched to the tune of a different drum, I usually had a street car that I wanted. My beloved 1967 MGB, and then my sleeper 1970 Ford Mustang with a 302ci under the hood. But what I use to dream about was race cars. Before I went into Enduro Karting, I use to do time trials with my B at Bridgehampton and parking lot time trials. After a few trips to the New Hampshire race track to watch the SCCA National races, I fell head over heals in love with Shelby Ford Cobras; either 289 or 427. What a race show they put on.
More then a few times I brought up the subject to my father about any possibility to buying one with my college fund. Of course Dad was much wiser then I, and always said NO
So, after really thinking about it, the logical build for me is a Shelby Cobra. I'm going with the old 1/24 scale Monogram 427 kit with this as the goal:
you'll quickly notice that one car as a street wind shield while the other has one of the many homemade racing wind shields. The foreground car is a 427 while the rear car looks to be a 289. Paint color, stripe or no stripe, number, etc are all questions that I've got to answer for this build.
